Twin Cities Boudoir Photography

I had such an amazing time photographing this Boudoir Session. When she came in she was super nervous, as is pretty much every boudoir client that comes through my doors! She sat down with Sarah Elizabeth Artistry for an hour to get her hair and makeup down, and her nerves started to calm and she started to get excited!

When it came time to start the photo session, she was again a bit nervous, but once she got in front of the camera her beautiful, radiating confidence shone through! She totally rocked her session, and it truly felt like I was shooting a Victoria’s Secret Catalog spread. It was a total blast and the images are absolutely stunning!

Every woman is nervous. Every woman does just fine once the camera starts snapping. It’s ok to feel anxious and nervous and overwhelmed. But remember, this is what I do for a living. I am a professional. I see every body shape, size, age, color, etc. I never see flaws, I only see true inner beauty! The session is whatever you make it, so have some FUN and rock it!! Unleash your inner diva and have a freaking BLAST!.

Karlee & Josh | Denver, Colorado | Red Rocks | Engagement Session

I love to travel, and when an opportunity presents itself to incorporate work with travel it’s a major bonus!

I will be photographing Karlee and Josh’s wedding here in the Twin Cities next summer, but they live in Denver, CO. They had asked if I would consider the possibility to coming out there to photograph their engagement session. Having been there several times, I know how incredibly beautiful it is and how unique there images would be, so I squealed with a YES!

The Friday before I headed out to CO on a week long road trip, a devastating flood hit the canyon area from Estes Park down to just north of Denver. It was incredibly sad to watch the local news and see the devastation Mother Nature had created within this beautiful state.

Karlee and Josh had chosen Red Rocks as the location for their shoot, and it was entirely perfect. We were running late because of horrible rush hour traffic, but the timing couldn’t have worked out more perfectly for the setting sun and lighting over the mountains!

After the shoot they took me out for an amazing dinner in downtown Denver at one of their favorite restaurants, and I really got the chance to get to know them as a couple. They are very much in love and totally adorable! I am absolutely thrilled with the photos we took, and even more excited to photograph their wedding next May!

Krystie & John | Twin Cities Wedding | Earle Brown Heritage Center

Krystie and John’s wedding last weekend was perfect in every way. Amazing weather. Fantastic friends and family. Beautiful location. Gorgeous bride. A couple totally in love.

It was also super special to me because Krystie has been a client of mine for quite a few years. When she asked me to be her wedding photographer I was over the moon with excitement. I knew she’d be a gorgeous bride, and have some quirky aspects thrown into her wedding day.

The Earle Brown Heritage Center is an awesome location, a photographer’s dream. With a beautiful outdoor setting for photos, and an outdoor ceremony that was spectacular. We got a ton of amazing images and I am excited to share their sneak peek with you!

Jessica & Debbie’s Duluth Wedding | LGBT Wedding | Same Sex Marriage

This past weekend I had the honor of photographing Jessica and Debbie’s wedding in Duluth at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. They had the most beautiful day, in more ways than one! Their theme throughout the wedding planning was “Two Brides Are Better Than One” and they certainly proved it to be true :)

They were surrounded by family and friends, all supporting them in uniting their LOVE. Pastor Karen said it best: “Love is love. God understands that. And now so does Minnesota!” Right on! She got a few cheers and whistles after that statement!

Debbie and Jessica also have a 12 year old son, Isaac, who they made sure was included in many of the days ceremonies and activities. He is a really great kid, and helped keep an eye on Pixxie for me throughout the day!

They had a beautiful wedding ceremony, with a few tears of happiness and joy. They followed it up with a reception in the church basement, compliments of the amazing church ladies. Because they were the first same-sex wedding in their church, the church ladies wanted to make sure they had something special and whipped up a grand reception for them!

All in all it was a beautiful and amazing day! I am so thrilled to have been a part of their special day!! Here is a sneak peek in photos!
