Taylor's Falls engagement [ Daniel + Mariah ]

Hey Friends,

As I look back on my blogs I realize I have’’t blogged since July! AHHH I didn’t even notice it had been so long! Being a mama to three almost FOUR boys definitely leaves me pretty busy but I do want to keep you guys updated more because I have photographed so many wonderful families and love stories since July. 2020 is the year for more blog posts from Light + Soul !

anyway…

Lets talk engagement sessions today!

Chances are that if you booked me as your wedding photographer, your engagement session is also included ( can you say BONUS! ;) ) Anyway, I encourage you to think outside the box for your session. Do something that sets the tone and speaks to who you and your significant other are! If you have a special place where you met, shoot there! If you want to look fancy, dress up! If you enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors, then let’s do some cliff jumping!

I. AM.HERE.FOR.IT.

In fact, the more adventurous the better IMO :)

These two are super outdoorsy peeps, they travel and hike and do ALLLLL the things. We decided that a trip to Taylor’s Falls was called for and spent the afternoon gallivanting the trails on the river. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my day any other way. Peaking Sunset + gorgeous views + super cute couple = a recipe for the perfect session.

Check out some more from this session, & just know that this too can be YOU. Hit me up & lets get some plans rolling!

Happy Friday eve, friends!

Golden Hour at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

Good lord this evening was absolutely perfect. The couple, the light, THE DOG. for real though still thinking about how beautifully this session went and how fun these two were! They are tying the knot here next summer so it only made sense to do their engagement session here as well! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! This place is so versatile and has so much beauty! I cannot wait to come back on their big day & explore more :)

Enjoy & HAPPY ALMOST FRIDAY!

Minneapolis Engagement Photographer { Eric & Rachael}

Rachael is a childhood friend of mine so naturally I was super excited for her when she got engaged and even more excited when she asked me to photograph her engagement session!! I feel so blessed to have been able to capture these forever moments for her! This was my first time meeting Eric & we all clicked right away, it was a FUN shoot and those kind of shoots are my favorite! 

Congratulations Eric & Rachael! I cannot wait to witness your big day <3 <3 <3

Minneapolis Engagement Photographer {Matt & Hannah}

Okay guys! We originally scheduled this shoot to be done at a sunflower field and I was super excited since I haven't shot at one before! A week before the shoot Hannah messaged me with the bad news that the field was wilting and dying! We ended up meeting up at Otsego regional park at golden hour. I anticipated your normal sunset photo shoot right? Wrong. When I got out of the car the lighting was immaculate! We were so blessed that night with the location + light & we took full advantage! These two lovebirds were an absolute joy to photograph & there was never a dull moment that's for sure! I am so grateful to be capturing these moments for my clients, it makes my heart so happy :) I cannot wait to capture their big wedding day next September! <3 <3 <3 So here you go ya'll I hope you enjoy the love, smiles and yummy light as much as I do!
