Dagny and Tim's Engagement Photography (St. Paul, Minnesota)

Downtown St. Paul is one of my fav. places to shoot photo sessions. It's inspiring and I love doing photographing with a background that's inspiring. Plus, I was with the sweetest couple...that makes all things better! We were able to capture warm sunlight as the sun set on a gorgeous summer night. (Seriously, I love being a photographer) Enjoy!

Rachael and Chris - Engagement Photography, Prior Lake, MN

I love talking weddings. Planning the engagement photography makes the wedding feel a little closer and real...I love sharing that with my couples. We got really excited for this shoot and then plans changed and then the weather happened. It poured...but we rallied and had a blast once the clouds cleared! If engagement photography is practice for the BIG DAY then we should be good!! Wedding and Portrait Photography

The Johnson Family Portraits

It was the perfect light of the day.

Minnesota Harvest was the most amazing location.

The kids were behaving like angels.

We laughed the whole time.

Photos came out gorgeous.

Kinda the reason I love doing family photography.

Yup, the pretty much sums it up.

Urbanhalo - my new favorite accessory!

When I like something I tend to tell everyone about it in hopes that they will LOVE it too! Then I get to be apart of that perfect purchase...I like that.  Whether you are running, working out, hanging with family, going out with the girls OR on a hot date - THESE ARE PERFECT! Urbanhalo is a unique and fashionable line that is breaking all the rules of typical headbands… they are comfortable, designed to stay in place, keep us free from headaches, and come in each season’s hottest prints and colors!

Urbanhalo headbands are functional for workouts, spice up the typical ponytail, and are fashionable enough for a night out. Perfect for athletes and fashionistas alike, women (and girls) LOVE them!

But, I don't need to say anything really...I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I am a Strength Finder. Have you taken the test yet?

Seriously. I have learned so much about myself and my husband and our marriage and our business and WOW...I'm so talking in run on sentences because that's how I feel. My number one strength is ACTIVATOR! I can not tell you how happy I was to hear that. It totally sounds like a SuperHero right? AND I've always loved anything to do with personality tests. I love to figure people out...turns out that's because my number 2 strength is RELATER. I wanted to learn more so I went to the MAGIC WAND COLLECTIVE Strength Finder evening get together and loved it. Thank you Rachel and Jen for putting that incredible night together. If you are a woman who loves connecting, learning and growing...this group is perfect for you!

here's some pics from the night!

The day of my perm!

I know I have been slack in getting these pictures to you but for those of you who have never had a perm let me explain... 1. You can't wash your hair for a good 48 hours afterwards.

2. Perms need to be groomed and gotten-used-to.

3. New product is a must and figuring out the right combination is not always easy.

So, I'm finally getting to the place where I've washed and defused a couple of times and I'm ready to show the world. But first, let's look back on the day of my perm.

I want to say a special thanks for KASIA Organic Salon for making this dream come true!

Pics of my hair before the perm. Flat ironed to show contrast.

Totally embarrassing shot...but, funny right? AND you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the after shots! EEEk.

Enough talk...I'm just going to do it!

I love change. I love risk. I love challenging myself in new ways and pushing myself to do things other people may think is crazy. This applies to every area of my life...including my hair. So, that being said, I'm getting a perm tomorrow. The appointment is set and I'm ready to go.

I won't be swayed.

I will be taking before and after pictures.

I can't wait!

Monday will be the day of the big reveal.

You never know, maybe you'll love my hair so much you'll be making your perm appointment this time next week!

We interrupt this blog to say...

"Happy 40th Birthday AMY!" You are one of the most amazing people I've ever known.

I love you as a sister.

So thankful you're in my life.

Thank you for always listening and caring.

I love sharing my life with you.

My husband Matt has an incredible relationship with his sister...these pictures capture it!
