Meet Cali and Ryan! They have a summer wedding planned for Mont du Lac (which I’ve been DYING to photograph for years) but it felt anything like summer on this extra-chilly winter day for their engagement session. That’s the thing with hearty northerners, the cold and crispy doesn’t scare us. Jay Cooke State Park is […]

Enter life And, enter Eli. Or Baby George, or simply Baby, as we like to call him often…. A quick reminder, Jon belongs to us […]
I’m sounding like a broken record here (and will continue to be for the next handful of blog entries) but our autumn colors have been nothing short of spectacular this season. It’s been my ray of sunshine though this crazy time and I’ve been so grateful to have this amazing backdrop for my couples, including […]
The fall season and colors gives us all the feels! Especially when we have gorgeous weather and a beautiful couple to photograph! Meet Catie and Gabe – who will be married in Duluth next Summer.
