Tony + Caitlin | E-session | Aberdeen, SD

Wow, I've been busy with E-sessions lately, and I just can't say enough how much I really enjoy these sessions. : )

I really like getting know the couple and see how they warm up in front of the camera, at first everyone is a little unsure of what to do, but by the end everyone transgresses to being completely comfortable with a camera (of my size) following their every move. ;)

Check out Caitlin and Tony's E-session below. These two are so sweet together and it was fun to see how Tony would try to get Caitlin to laugh.

Josh + Britney | E-session | Sioux Falls, SD

I love shooting in new locations, it's exciting, challenging, and well just plain fun. ; ) Sioux Falls is full of great places to shoot (having shot there only a handful of times), I feel like a kid in a candy store when there.

Josh & Britney were great fun, their session has a variety of "looks", urban, country, woodsy and we stayed within the city limits the whole time (basically only 2 place's).

Although we were a bit frozen when we were done, I'd defiantly say it was worth a touch of frost bite (jk, no one got frost bite).

Tyler + Jen | E-session | South Dakota Wedding Photography

E-sessions are GREAT for so many reasons...we get to know each other better, you guys get to feel a bit more comfortable in front of the camera, the obvious is the great pictures of the two of you, and in Tyler & Jen's case we even got to challenge mother nature a bit.

Jen & Tyler love the outdoors and wanted to do their shoot around the countryside by Tyler's family farm (I love when couple's incorporate what they love into their sessions). The shoot stared out like any other, just a bit cold, cloudy fall day...well about an hour after that we found ourselves in the beginning of a snow storm!

Jen & Tyler were great and we finished up their session in the snow! I have to say I really like how the snow adds another element to their photos. : )

Brian, Mary Beth & Eli | Lifestyle Session

Oh how I love being able to photograph babies!

Thank you Brian & Mary for letting me capture your little guy, he is absolutely adorable! His little face was so expressive and he didn't seem to mind the camera at all. I especially loved how he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep when he got tired, which then allowed for some really cute sleeping shots.

Sooo adorable. : )

Brian & Mary, I hope you enjoy the new & wonderful adventures in parenthood. : )

Nate and Jamie's wedding was such a beautiful & classic wedding! Every detail was thought of and it all went together stunningly (that's a word, right?) and yet relaxed...just very CLASSIC.

Everything was really truly beautiful, the bride & groom, the dress, the flowers, the weather, the reception, and the rings! I especially loved Jamie's ring, so I asked her about it and she shared with me that Nate knew she liked classic/antique looking jewelry and so he went to Anthony Jewelers and had her ring custom designed just for her! *That is sooo incredibility sweet...hint, hint to my husband who will be reading this*

And the wedding party was seriously a hoot! While taking pictures we all piled in the Big Shot Logde hunting bus and I tell you what this crew is a wildly fun bunch (just watch the slide show below to see what I mean). ; )

Nate & Jamie, thank you for allowing me to document and share in your day, I very much enjoyed every minute of it.

Once again Congratulations Nate and Jamie. :)

Jordan + Tarah | E-session

What a sweet couple these two are. : ) And what a delightful shoot we had, very relaxing and easy going, which was good after the excitement they endured with a pheasant indecent on the drive here. Having a pheasant get stuck to the front of your car...enough said, right.

Back to a brighter and better topic, like the beautiful photos from their engagement session. : )
