Kaya Wedding Part 3: Big Picture {a glimpse of it all} | Bemidji, MN Wedding Photographer

Kaya Wedding Part Two: White | Itasca State Park, Mississippi River Photographer, Bemidji MN

 Remember these lovely newlyweds? They were married in September and had their formal portraits taken at Itasca State Park. The leaves were perfectly golden, the grass still green, the roads cluttered with fallen leaves, while the trees stood firm. It was a cold and misty day, but it was beautiful, nonetheless.

Mr. & Mrs. Kaya were fun to work with, and got more and more comfortable in front of the lens as the hours passed. I am so grateful to have shot this wedding. It was just stunning to see the lovely hand-made bridal head piece that Christina wore. She was the most stunning bride with the long ribbons, pearls, and lace cascading down her back. They trailed over buttons from her dress and stood out in their soft peachy highlights against her delicate dress.

W Family mini session | Kabekona, Park Rapids, MN Family Portrait Photographer

Yesterday, I got to meet this sweet family.

The two girls are over 6 years apart, which was so fun, because big sister got to help out a lot with baby sister! This little seven month old was a total ham, and loooooves that she can sit up on her own! Her seven-year-old counterpart wanted to get over with everyone else's photos so we could focus on her :) Pretty mama and her Mr. were excellently flexible, and got some of the indoor shots they wanted before I forced them all outside... into snow, cold, and good lighting. Thanks you guys!!! Little baby girl Avery was obsessed with the grass and snow combo and didn't want  to go in when we were done!

Kaya Wedding, Part One: PINK | Itasca State Park, Mississippi River Photographer, Bemidji MN

Last month, I had the awesome privilege of photographing this gorgeous bride and groom, along with their bridal party. I learned that making EVERYTHING by hand results in several beautifully crafted gowns, ribbons, jewels, and head pieces. AMAZING.

Christina was the most becoming bride in her hot pink dress. Zosim stood out as the groom in his sharp pink shirt, too. The bridesmaids wore a gold color and the groomsmen wore a gold color with khakis.

Again, I am so happy I got to be a part of this special week! Congratulations for EVER, Kayas!!!

P. Family | Nevis, MN Bemidji Family Christmas Photo Photographer

I had the joy of laughing with this family while I took their family photos.

The main goal of the session was to get a good shot for their Christmas card. I hope we did that!

I really enjoyed the kids: They were so funny...  the girls were complete girls -- totally into modeling for me with princess waves and funny stories to make each other laugh. The little boy was a total boy -- grumping about having to pose for the camera but throwing me cheesy grins and goofball antics. His favorite thing we would do to make him laugh was call him "daddy." He thought it was the craziest idea, and loved it!

Kaya Wedding | Itasca State Park, Park Rapids, Bemidji MN Wedding Photographer

WOWZAS.
 I had the awesome priviledge of phtoographing Zosim & Christina's wedding photos. It was a cold and dreary day with drizzles and almost-snow.

We took the pictures at Itasca State Park, and it was the perfect location! Christina had a couple outfits to wear, and the hot pink one really stood out against the fall colors. The white dress, with the Bridal Party's accents of peach were a great subtle mix, too.

Here is the sneakiest sneak peek. Enjoy!
