Extended Family {Riverside Park}

What a wonderful time this adorable family must have together!

On the day of their session, they were recovering from a camping trip

on the beach in Brookings (oh, how I love Brookings)!

They were all so smiley and happy and I had a great time working with them!!

Thank you Gunderson family! I hope you all had safe trips back home!!

Keep Smiling,

Annie

Gunderson Family {Ogle Park}

“I sustain myself with the love of family.”

- Maya Angelou

I'm about to get mushy.

The truth is, I adore families.

Families who love and care for one another

and treat their children like they are the most important things in the world ...

I adore families so much so that when I get to work with families

like this one, I walk away from the session a better, more joyful person

for being able to observe and capture the love this family has one for one another!

Keep Smiling,

Annie

Greg & Stephanie - the Big Day!!

Last week, I was able to spend two chilly, rainy days here:

Greg & Stephanie decided to shoot their formals at the Temple the day before the wedding in order to reduce stress and time! I really enjoy shooting formals before the big day because it allows me to spend more time with the couple and allows them to be a little more relaxed!!

We spent some time in the rain and got these beautiful photos:

(As a side note, I LOVE that Greg is wearing this pink vest and tie with pride! I commented on it during our shoot and he said that the pink was his suggestion!)

The clouds hung around for the wedding day, but we lucked out and caught a break from the drops while we were doing photos!! It was so fun to watch Greg & Steph walk out of the Temple and to see their joy and excitement at finally being a married couple!

Greg and Stephanie are such a beautiful couple and I am so honored that they chose me to be their photographer!! Thanks Greg & Steph - the two of you deserve all the happiness in the world and a beautiful life together!!

Keep Smiling,
