Meet Madeline & Brian! I am so excited that I get to spend my days working with fun, amazing couples like them!! Brian is a fisherman, so it only made sense that we did their engagement session by the water, where they spend so much of their time together. They scouted the perfect location, and in the end, instead of using a fishing boat, we thought it’d be cute to bring out the couple’s canoe. Madeline added her own feminine touches with sweet cupcakes by Cocoa and Fig and of course, her swoon-worthy styling and shoes. Did I mention the shoes? Are they not fabulous?!

After nearly a decade together, Madeline & Brian will tie the knot next summer in Duluth (by the water) and I can barely stand to wait for their big day! :)

Images captured by Whitney for Laura Ivanova Photography. Aren’t Holly and Adam completely adorable?! Holly’s yellow cardi totally matches her bubbly personality and I love how this couple totally brightened the overcast fall day! :)

Yay!! I’m so excited to share my very own family photos! Meet me (if you haven’t already) my hubby, Todor, and my pup, Bianca! As a photographer, you’d think I’d have oodles of photos of us, but it’s not very often that I’m on the other side of the camera. In fact, we hadn’t had photos taken together for about 3 years, so I’d say it was about time!  I admit, having my photo taken isn’t my favorite activity, but I am so thrilled with these images and I can’t wait to display these photos in our home. On another note, starring in my own photo session reminded me of what my clients feel and it was an enlightening and inspirational experience! :-)

I owe a big, big, big thank you to my friend, colleague and partner in crime, Whitney for capturing these images that we will treasure forever!  Whitney is an amazing photographer (check out her personal business site here) and I am so lucky to have her as a part of my team!
