Wooded, Snowing Northern MN Engagement \\ Annessa + Eric

I'm excited for Annessa's and Eric's September wedding because their wedding locations, the history of how they met and their love story are so authentic and  serendipitous.  Their wedding at both of their families' cabins because they met there one lucky summer while Eric was in Anness'a hometown playing baseball has my heart looking forward to meeting their family and friends.  It is a beautiful thing how we meet the people who are so important in our lives.

I drove away from their engagement session full of gratitude for the way these things happen, both to my clients and to myself

Jerod + Holly | Northern Minnesota Winter Engagement Session

Holly and Jerod ventured from Saint Paul to my home in the Minnesota Northwoods forest for their engagement session.  My home is in the country about 20 miles east of Brainerd where my studio is located.  When Jerod and Holly mentioned that they would like "outdoors", "natural" setting for their engagement session I had to look no further than my last snowshoeing walk right our my back door.

I love living on a small lake surrounded by deciduous forest and coniferous forest.  In the winter it is my snowshoeing playground and in the summer it is my canoeing playground.

Jerod and Holly's engagement session was on a frigid February day but they were troopers.
