Brennen + Casie | ND Winter Proposal

I was so excited to be able to capture this awesome couple's engagement! It was the first proposal I've shot, and unless you count Twins games, the first proposal I've seen in person! Brennen and Casie are my good friends, so the pressure was on big time. The plan was for me to ask Casie if her and Brennen would model for me so I could try out my new camera (I WISH). I actually do this to my friends all the time, so it was pretty easy on my part. Let me tell you, I was SHAKING with nervousness when they pulled up to the park we had decided to meet at. I honestly tried not to speak, because my nervous speaking turns into jibberish and then she would definitely know something was up. I put them in a few poses, and then when the time was right (which was pretty quick because it was 20 degrees out) I told them to stand back to back. How awesome is it that that pose was all Brennen's idea! Then BAM, two people were engaged :) So excited for you two & I can't wait for the wedding!

Brittney + David | North Dakota Engagement

Brittney and David came to me with the idea this awesome session (as well as a few grandma approved photos) and I couldn't pass it up. These badass lawyers came all the way from Dickinson for our shoot at Co-Studio. I had a blast with this loving couple, enjoy the outcome!

Brittany + Jeremy | New Town, ND Photographer

Heart eyes everywhere while editing these two! I had a chance to hang out with them back in October after my mini sessions in New Town. They chose the perfect time to get the most beautiful light. Check these cuties out!

Trista + Luke | Bismarck, ND Engagement Photography

Trista and Luke are the sweetest. They weren't super thrilled to be in front of the camera, but you wouldn't know from their photos. Once they forgot my camera and I were there, they relaxed and showed me how comfortable they are together despite the cold. These two really are the nicest, I called Trista "Trisha" all evening and she didn't correct me once. (Embarrassing, I know, I pride myself on getting my clients' names right) I can't wait for their wedding next August!

The Schanks | North Dakota Couple's Photography

Anton (my roommate/lover/dog dad) met Josh a few years back when Anton's best friend, Blaze, invited him on a road trip to Valley City to celebrate his friend's 21st birthday. Anton, who is always up for anything even if it's the middle of the week, of course said yes and off they went. They met up with Josh and after raging their little hearts out, they ended up staying in a hotel room with Josh's dad (it sounds awkward, but Josh's dad is actually really cool). The next morning, they headed back to Bismarck and Blaze's car broke down. They were stranded and Anton ended up being late for work. Josh & Anton have been friends ever since, so of course that means I get the better end of the deal and get to hang out with Josh's gorgeous wife, Jacey, whenever we meet up.

These two are the epitome of "couple goals". They have been married now for almost three years and every time I see them, they seem as though they were just married yesterday. I had the chance to venture to Beulah a couple weeks ago and had so much fun wandering around with these two! Did I mention I love when my clients bring their dogs!? (especially when they're rottweilers) Here are a few of my favorites from their session:)
