love these – I want to be there – it looks gorgeous
These two sessions were a blast.
I mean, truly.
Reason number 4,278 why I love my job: I got to hang out with my two awesome friends from college (who happen to be twin sisters), and their gorgeous families, on the beach on a spectacular summer evening with absolutely perfect light. Did I mention I love my job?
My two friends hail from Minnesota, but have since moved out to California. As if California had nicer weather. Come on guys, you know you want to move back here. Minnesota winters? What’s not to love.
So, sadly I only get to see them once a year when they come back to visit. This time we picked Afton State Park for the photos. It was just divine. Thanks for the suggestion, Liz!
We even got the grandparents in for a few extended family shots at the end. Fantastic seeing you all – thanks so much!!!
I’ll post more photos tomorrow – here’s a little tease!
Love this first one – hello Karate Kid!!! Such a fun family photo…
such a flirt…
PIGGIES!!!
Oh, the mischief-maker… that look is priceless!!!
Until tomorrow!!!

These are absolutely stunning Gwen! I love the color, and I can just feel the fun! My fave is the feet shot on the beach. I mean, come on, does it get any cuter?!

I love Afton State Park! The scenic views are absolutely breathtaking. We were there about a month ago, and my head was on overload with location possibilities for sessions.
Few things in life are more beautiful than a backyard garden wedding, and this was no exception. Meet Amy and Tom. Amy is my step-sister, and I was *so* honored that she asked me to take her wedding photos. Their backyard was just stunning – they live on a lake, the absolute perfect setting for a summer wedding.
Except…
It was about 47 degrees below zero.
well… maybe not quite. but it sure felt like it.
raining and cold. to the bone.
But Amy and Tom weren’t going to let the crummy weather ruin their day. The ceremony went on as planned, although with a few added umbrellas! I must say, the umbrella shots are among my *very* favorites…
Thank you so much Amy and Tom for letting me share in your beautiful day. I wish you all the best in your new life together!
Feel free to leave them some love in the comment box below!
