Mihn and Audrey were a military couple that had a small ceremony previously, but were able to have this fun celebration with family and friends in Aurora Colorado. Even though it snowed on their wedding day (April 30th! I thought this only happened in MN! haha), it sure didn’t damper the warm mood of everyone there! And the wedding party braved outside in the blowing snow for pictures. Mihn and Audrey, we could feel how much you cared about the people that were there and that they felt the same way about you too! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your celebration! -Kelley
As I’m finally sharing his pictures, Hunter is already attending Concordia college where he’ll be playing basketball (so of course we had to incorporate some of his Cobber gear into these pictures!). Good luck Hunter, with your first year at Concordia! -Kelley
These two are as fun as they are cute! Fishing is one of their favorite things to do, it was their first date and how Anthony proposed, so naturally we had to incorporate it into their pictures. I love it when couples are willing to do something different, it makes the images so much more unique and special to them! Anthony and Heather got themselves hitched in July… so keep an eye out for those pictures (and yes, there are is more fishing involved!). – Kelley
We had to reschedule this engagement session two time due to below zero temps, but I’m so glad these two braved the cold because the snow made for some pretty pictures! I also love shooting with friends because it’s just that much more fun! We also grabbed a few fun pictures in a bookstore, and Cherry Berry (where they had their first date). These two became Mr. and Mrs. in June… so look for their wedding pictures at the gorgeous Linden Hills Mansion, coming soon! Thanks again for letting me capture both your engagement season and the start of your marriage, -Kelley
I absolutely loved shooting this adorable family, and Noelle’s 1 year photos. These type of sessions that are a little more lifestyle are my absolute favorite. Thank you, Esler fam for letting me document you three! -Kelley P.S. Yes, I am finally starting to blog from this year ;) So so many fun families, gorgeous couples and great seniors coming soon…
This lady is a good friend of mine from California, who came to visit last fall. She’s also a photographer (check out her work over at www.katherinealison.com ) and so we swapped headshots for our websites. Just wanted to share a few images from our quick mini-session! Kelley
This senior is a special one to me… one of my little cousins. Jon and my brother Eric have been pretty much an inseparable pair their entire life, even going so far as celebrating almost every birthday together (their birthdays are just 10 days apart). So needless to say we had to take a couple of them together. Jon is a great athlete, not long after taking these pictures his soccer team took the State title, and he’s a state wrestler as well (multiple years!). Thanks for letting me take your senior picture, Jonny! I’m excited to see what God has for this next stage of your life! :) Love, Kelley
Mason and Kelsi got married at his grandparents gorgeous river property, and then had a Pintrest worthy reception at the Nisswa Community Center. That combined with Kelsi’s stunning dress, and the clear love between the two of them (and their fun wedding party!) made this a wonderful wedding to shoot. Thanks again, you two, for letting me be a part of your day! -Kelley
Jenna’s hubby was deployed during her pregnancy, and so she had some fun ideas to do a little announcement session, and for some images to send to Tony while he was over seas. I was honored to do these for them! Tony came home this past weekend, and the little man l is schedule to appear very soon. It was great to see this family back together again. Thank you Grondahl family for the sacrifices you’ve all made, and for using me to help announce your exciting news! Love, Kelley
Capturing this family’s pictures is something I look forward to every year. Not only are they so cute, but they’re equally as much fun as they are adorable. And this year… I got to help them announce something pretty exciting (see the very end of the post!). Thank you, Cole’s, for letting me come hang out for the last six years! – Kelley
