Maple Grove Extended Family Session:: Folwarski Family

Happy Friday to you.  I am so happy to end this week with this incredibly sweet family.  I have known Kelley since 7th grade and when she had her oldest son, we reconnected. I have had the privilege of seeing their sweet family grow and develop through the years.  I have also gotten to know her sweet sisters and their families.  They are the kind of people that you don’t forget because they are 100% genuine, kind and caring people. It was a joy to capture this time in their lives for all of them, and I truly hope to see them all very soon!

    Excelsior Engagement Session:: Ryan and Jenni

    They officially met on New Year’s Eve, but were both dating different people.  At that time they struck up a conversation and talked into the night as friends assuming they would never again see each other. The following New Year’s Eve, the two saw each other AGAIN at another party but this time both had ended their relationships and were now single. Throughout the night as they reconnected and talked, both knew that this might be a relationship that might go somewhere.  As the hours got later and later, midnight struck and Jenni did something Ryan would never forget.  Right then and there in the middle of all the other couples, Jenni kissed him. At that moment, Ryan knew he could not let this girl get away again.  They started dating not long after and on December 30th of this year, they will tie the knot to officially becomehusband and wife!

    Their summer engagement session was filled with light, greens, the beautiful Lake Minnetonka as well as walking around one of their very favorite city, Excelsior. I look forward to their wedding day when I get to see this beautiful friendship become a marriage!

      Classic Hall Wedding:: Laura and Bob

      What do ice fishing, loads of laughter, central Minnesota, and a love of family all have in common?  Bob and Laura!  Both were a bit skeptical as they both entered the world of Match.com.  Not really thinking they would meet their future spouse, both Laura and Bob signed up around the same time and were matched quickly with one another.  Neither one could believe how amazing it was until they met each other.  After a few dates, finding a common love for family and their faith, the two were instantaneously friends. Bob instilling a love for fishing into Laura, and Laura bringing laughter and joy to every situation, it was easy to see how this match was flawless!

      When Bob took Laura up north to go ice fishing, she thought nothing of it.  They loved their time together on one of Minnesota’s great lakes and talked into the wee hours of the night as they enjoyed this common sport.  On this particular night after one more great conversation, Bob got down on one knee to ask Laura to be his wife and they started planning their summer wedding not long after!

      Bob and Laura’s August wedding was incredible.  A perfect summer day with a slight breeze and friends and family from all over came to celebrate with them.  Being that they both love the lake, they decided to do most of their photos on the land that at one time held Laura’s family cabin in Annandale. Because so many wonderful memories happened here, and now the home was rebuilt as Laura’s parent’s home, it was the perfect location.  All her bridesmaids wore classic lace black dresses from David’s Bridal and Maple Lake Floral brought the bright and vivid colors Laura wanted to incorporate into her day. Rejoice Lutheran Church in Cleawater held their ceremony and the Classic Hall in Annandale was where their unique ceremony was held.  Guests loved the old town Hollywood style vibe while they danced the night away to music provided by CP Entertainment.

      Laura and Bob, thank you for including me in your day.  It was incredible and I can not wait for you to start this beautiful adventure together! Congratulations!

        St. Paul Children’s Session:: Roman

        This lil man was only a few weeks old when I saw him last, but what a sweet honey he has become.  He was showing off his dimples and extra long eyelashes and hamming up the camera.  His little summer suit had his mom and I dying at his sweetness.  Roman you are a heartbreaker!!
