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.
