This was a fun senior session! Elijah wanted to do something a little different with his session, and so did a little bit of a James Bond theme… and I think he nailed it! Thanks for a great time, Elijah! Good luck this year with this next stage of your life :) -Kelley
Read MoreAs I’m blogging, I feel as if every wedding I blog I say how much fun I had shooting… but it’s so true! Every wedding last year left me so happy, and this one was no different. Not only were Amanda and Andrew so much fun to work with, both their families were a blast as well, along with their whole bridal party. And to top it all off, Amanda works for Bloom Designs (http://www.katekuepers.com/) in Baxter so needless to say the flowers were stunning! Oh, and wait until you see their first look… SO MUCH HAPPY. Thank you again, Andrew and Amanda (and Easton!), for letting me be a part of your special day! -Kelley
Read MoreAt this point Brady has already graduated high school, and getting ready to start college this fall… but I still wanted to share a few from his senior session last fall! I’ve gotten to shoot the Holub family’s pictures more than once, which makes it even more enjoyable to get to do Brady’s senior pictures. Good luck this coming year with your new chapter of life! -Kelley
Read MoreI love getting to work with friends. Anna is a good friend that I met in sixth grade… and we have lots of good memories together! It was super special and fun to get to shoot her and Adrian’s engagement session. I can’t wait to party with these two and the rest of their friends and family when they get married in July! :D -Kelley
Read MoreDana and Ethan tied the knot last fall with a picture perfect farm wedding! An adorable couple, perfect sunshiney skies, lots of family and friends and cowboy boots, and a yummy dessert bar… it doesn’t get much better. I’m so thankful to that these two let me be a part of their fun and relaxed day! -Kelley
Read MoreI was Zac and Amanda’s wedding photographer five years ago, and this past summer got the opportunity to work with Amanda’s family. These six are definitely fun ones to shoot! Not a dull moment, thanks for the good time Kylander fam! -Kelley
Read MoreHeather and I met in middle school softball… and have stayed buddies since, so this wedding was extra special for me. I love this couple, they have so much fun together and so did everyone else at their wedding. Anthony and Heather tied the knot at her grandparents place on the river, which was perfect for them because one of their shared loves is fishing (you might remember their ice fishing engagement session!). They had rain on their wedding day, but that did nothing to damper the mood… and right after they said I do the sun came out! Also, Heather had the cutest surprise for her dad… part way through the father/daughter dance the song switch to “Put me in Coach”, and she pulled out their gloves for a game of catch instead. Zetah… I mean Mrs. M ;) I’m really glad you talked to me all those years ago when I was the new-to-a-small-town-girl. I’m also really glad you let me be a special part of you and Anthony’s celebration! -Kelley
Read MoreBrandon and Paige became Mr and Mrs Sterriker last July with a wedding at the Como Conservatory. Talk about a picture perfect place to get married! They were surrounded by their closest friends and family, and started the celebration out with dinner, and finished the night with their ceremony in the sunken garden. So perfect. Paige and Brandon, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day… and for being that couple that says “YES!” any time I wanted to pull you away for “one more picture!” -Kelley
Read MoreI had a lot of fun with this session! Not only is Tateum a gorgeous senior, but she brought her puppy! And she was homeschooled (homeschooled alumni right here!) so we had fun with a few homeschool jokes ;) Thanks for such a fun session, and letting me capture this stage of your life! Blogging these pictures is making me excited for the upcoming senior season… if you’re graduating in 2018, I’d love to chat! -Kelley
