This is post #2 to show how great Minnesota winter photos can be! Melissa & Brian wanted to capture the essence of their Minnesota lives for their e-session so we went out one afternoon and just as we got started, we got the most perfect snowfall to add to the pics! Melissa came ready with fun ideas and great clothing changes for their session all the while worried about my comfort and warmth (I was dressed in 2 pairs of pants, warm socks, snow boots, three shirts – including under armor, a winter jacket, scarf, hat & gloves!). Could this girl get any sweeter?! Then while we were out shooting, Brian and Melissa told me about their surprise destination wedding location – oh, I can’t wait!! Their beautiful snowy e-session pics will be such a great contrast to their October sandy beach photos in the Dominican Republic!
These two are are beautiful, down-to-earth, SO in love and so photogenic – I’m honored to get to know them and photograph one of the most incredible days of their lives! Maybe I can carry on the tradition of “getting the shot” for these two by climbing a tree at their wedding, too!![]()

Love the snow in her hair, especially the last image.
I want to be engaged again, just so I can have Red Bird Hills pictures in the snow!!
Love them! I told Mel, I kept looking and looking and looking…I just couldn’t get enough of her pictures
They are soooo beautiful! Amazing as always!
How do you do it? These are so great! I got emotional looking at them. You truly captured the emotion and fun between the two of them!
This might be my favorite session you’ve posted so far. Beautiful images and I love how in love they obviously are!
These two are SO cute and I love these pictures…makes me want to go to their wedding Tasha!!
you have come thru on your promise of “your daily dose of warm fuzzies” in your description of your website. These photos make me miss Minnesota winters, kinda, HA! Your work never ceases to amaze me, truly inspiring. What a beautiful couple!
