Check out the preview of my promo video that will be coming out after the new year... along with some all new branding! I am very excited to share it with all of you when it is ready.

{enjoy} The Campbell family

When we were scheduling the Campbell photos we had to make sure to get the photos done before the big game {Vikings vs Packers}. The funny thing for me is that I didn’t even know who was playing. I am so not a sports girl. I’m sure little Cayden will be a big football fan after watching many games with his dad. Cayden is such a sweet little guy. I enjoyed spending the afternoon with Jamie, Brian and Cayden. {enjoy} the photos.

Deb and Jade {mom and daughter} photos and post by paige

Deb and Jade are my beautiful aunt and cousin. My Aunt Deb has had a vision of her in Jade in green down by the lake for years, and we finally took the time to do their shoot this weekend. Jade has been in front of my camera before {and she is a pro}! My mom was there in the background making crazy faces and cracking us up, but somehow we made it through with some serious shots. Thanks for letting me boss you around a bit. Love you guys!

{enjoy} The Holmberg Family

Jeff is my favorite graphic designer! I have been working with him all summer getting a new logo and new branding. I am so excited about what he has created. His company is Holmberg Design and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I also went to collage with his lovely wife. And now they have their two fun and full of energy little boys. They were so much fun, especially when they were wrestling. Oh how different boys are then girls!

{enjoy} The Harr Family

It wasn't hard to get little Brayden to smile! The instant I put the camera on him he started posing and smiling. I can't complain about that! Thanks for a fun shoot Harr family {cold hands and all}!

{enjoy} Bonnie and Andy on theknot.com

I shot Bonnie and Andy's wedding this June, and it was just featured as a Real Wedding on theknot.com. Check it out!

{enjoy} Paris and Brandis Belly Shoot

Brandis is a sweet friend of mine I first met her because she took my {enjoy} workshop. In addition to running her own business {and working full time at Target} she does some managing for me. She is extremely smart, organized and stylish. AND Brandis and Paris are having their first baby! I am so excited for them and for all the changes that having a baby bring. I can't wait to meet the little man. Congratulations!

{enjoy} The Ferrin Family

Cameron, Cecia and little Jack moved to Minnesota from Arizona. This will be their first Minnesota winter, I hope it is a mild one for their sake and my sake. Every winter my husband and I talk about moving somewhere warmer. But of course all my favorite people keep us here. The Ferrin family did great embracing MN's beautiful fall. We got so many fun photos. They were all dressed so well, thanks to Cameron. Jack was fun to follow around and see all his cute little exspressions and sweet personality. Thanks for letting me document your family.

Melissa and Kevin {engaged}

This is the year for the dogs. More and more people are bringing their pooches for photos. A little less then a year ago my family got our first yorkie puppy. The funny thing is that I never really liked dogs. I use to say "I like dogs as long as they don't touch me". Ha, I have come a long ways. My little Winston has found a special place into my heart and I get why people go so crazy over their furry friends. Melissa and Kevin certainly love their Charlie. Charlie was photogenic and well behaved, who wouldn't love that! I guess Melissa and Kevin were well behaved also, considering they got so many great shots. I had a lot of fun and I am sure the wedding in June will be just as fun.

Stephanie and Court were so easy to work with. They had one of the most beautiful fall days this year to be married and we took advantage and spent as much time outside as possible. Thank you for having us be a part of of your beautiful day. Congratulations!

Windows on Minnesota {Megan and Ben married}

Fun, stylish and fast pace, that's what Megan and Ben's wedding was! Everything was done so well at their wedding. Megan looked amazing in her beautiful dress. I love that Megan and Ben {and the wedding party} were open to shooting photos in the aisle and in the middle of the road. We had to dodge a bus as we walked down the middle of the street. The dance was crazy fun also!

Here is a list of the amazing vendors that made this special day possible:

coordinator: Lasting Impressions wedding & event planning
reception: Windows on MN
ceremony: Central Lutheran
string quartet: Aurora
flowers: Sadies Floral
cake: Gatueax
hair & makeup: MN Bridal Hair and Makeup
