While I was in South Dakota I got the pleasure of photographing Lowell & Twyla.  I was immediately welcomed into their cozy home in the small town of Hartford, South Dakota.  They were very open in to share some advice about marriage which included always being honest, and remembering to have fun.  I also got a tour of their home. Lowell showed me a few epic fish he has caught! Twyla also showed me her incredible quilt collection! I have never seen such a beautiful collection of quilts. 

This gorgeous couple will be celebrating their 58th wedding anniversary in October. 

Lowell & Twyla: Thank you for giving me an opportunity to see and capture your love.  I enjoyed the gentleness and sweetness of how you see one another. 

  It was a great joy to be able to work with Allen and Janine’s sweet family.  The morning we shot was filled with giggles, jumping, playing in the sand, petting dogs, and getting some great family portraits in. 

With six girls and just one boy, their cute grandbabies were a blast to get portraits of! 

I love families.  I love families that love one another and have fun together.

Now check out this beautiful family portrait session from a day at the beach! 

 I was so excited when Cameron + Jenny agreed to do a more intimate film portrait session with me! I’ve been seeing their sweet love on facebook and instagram for the past year. 

I’ve been wanting to work with couples who are deeply in love with one another.  I want couples who trust each other, love to connect with each other, and are willing to take the extra time to be quiet and still with one another. My desire is to grow with my photography to have more film, more slowing down and more posing that captures a deeper grasp of the couple in front of my lens. If you and your love want to have a photoshoot like this, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Jenny+Cameron’s love was so sweet and gentle.  I loved their willingness to play, hug, and cuddle on our shoot! I also loved that they were completely comfortable with the silence while I waited to capture the right moment.

Now take a look at these beautiful black and whites!
