It never intended to happen (well it really never does!) Ryan was in his hum-drum of every day life at the office, when by chance he met Kelly. She was kind-hearted and had many of the same interests as he did. After a couple of months of passing -by chance- at the office, the two decided to go out for drinks and ended up talking for 4-5 hours. A few days later Ryan called Kelly for their official first date.
Not too long after that, the couple planned a trip up to northern Minnesota to view the changing fall leaves. A year later they decided to go on that same trip and on the first night Ryan went out for “groceries” and decorated the bonfire pit at the resort, got a fire going and tried to calm his nerves while Kelly was unpacking in their room not knowing what was going to happen next! When Ryan came back, he escorted her down to the pit and proposed!
Their September wedding was absolutely perfect. As I mentioned yesterday, they were wonderful to be with and I felt like they were some of my old friends! Kelly and Ryan, I wish you both so much joy and happiness!
I actually only meant to say “congrats” to the above post… but man, that B&W of the bride on this post is absolutely stunning.
They were secretly “stalking” me. Ryan joked with me as we met for coffee. I had photographed Kelly’s friend’s wedding and got to chat with the two of them. When we met, I felt like we were old friends as we chatted about their wedding. Being the first wedding of fall, and after a 6 week break from weddings, I was ready to get back into the scene. I could NOT have asked for a better couple, venue, group of people to spend the day with. I have to admit, I was a little obsessed with the venue, yellows and grays and Kelly’s dress and the pure awesomeness of the way the day was pulled together. More images to come tomorrow!!

For the past 2 years, I have been able to watch these 4 kiddos grow. From being a baby, to a walking 2 year old! It has been great! I never get enough talking time in with these two beautiful women, Kim and Kris, it is always a joy to see you and your growing babies!
Hello and welcome to another Monday! The weekend in Minneapolis was beautiful! So glad to have been able to photograph some amazing people!

What a joy it was to capture Lizzy and Ryan and their now family of five! Adding these two sweet twins to the mix definitely brought life and so much joy to their session! Congratulations to you both!!
From their engagement session, to their wedding, to the birth of their first daughter and now to their second, it’s been a joy and honor to be able to photograph couples like the Wargo’s as their life changes.
It’s what makes my job so meaningful and fulfilling! Congratulations Hannah and Jake, your family is beautiful!
Including siblings in your newborn session… yes or no?
My answer is always yes.
It might feel a little chaotic in the moment, but those are often the images you end up treasuring the most—the real connection, the tiny interactions, the beginning of a new family story.
I’ve loved watching the Luong family grow through all three of their children’s newborn sessions, and those sibling moments are always some of my favorites.
If you’re wondering how it all works (and how we make it easy), I wrote a full blog post about it! Check it out in my stories
