Swanson Family

When Sarah, a local photographer, emailed me saying she wanted pictures of her family playing in a band in the parking lot of their church, I knew I was hooked! The session went awesome even though we were swarmed by mosquitos, seasonal allergies & a cloudy sunset:)The last image in this post is one of my favorite family pictures of all time – it shows just how fun, crazy, loving and cute families are together!

Graham : 1 year

I love my nieces and nephews more than almost anything else in this world (Don’t worry, Tony, you are right up there with them:))! This cutie pie is my nephew (& godson), Graham! We took his 1 year pictures up at the family cabin this year. My sweet little niece, Evy and my dad (the bald guy) even made an appearance at the end of the shoot! And in case you are ever in Park Rapids, I highly recommend stopping at Cuzzins Candy Store – its got homemade yumminess, old-fashioned candies & a whole lot more! Graham loved it so much, he threw a little fit when we had to leave:)

Isn’t he cute?!

Meenakshi + Mike : Married

I only spent a short 1.5 hours with Meenakshi & Mike for their intimate wedding at Justin Trails Resort (a new favorite of mine!), but at the end of our time together, I found myself extremely bummed that they did not live in Minnesota. These two are incredibly kind and generous! With our first little one on the way and Meenakshi’s career as a pediatrician, I left feeling sad that I had just met the most perfect pediatrician and know that traveling to Boston for an ear infection might be a bit far-fetched:).

Thank you for the mention of Justin Trails as you new favorite venue. May I use the photo in field of wild flowers on my website wedding page? Your photos are spectacular. I do not feel it is appropriate to link to your site and show all of their photos.
