Summery day

This week the sun peeked through the clouds and illuminated a field of dandelions ... a perfect spot for the curious and cute 18-month old Ruby :)

Before spring officially becomes summer, I should show you this fun and colorful engagement session with Kelsey, Caleb and their adorable daughter Siiri!

Kelsey attended one of our photo workshop in 2010 and I remember being jealous of her fabulous taste in fashion. So I was excited to see what she and her family would wear for their photo session. She did not disappoint! I love the fun colors in these photos ... great outfit choices, Kelsey!

Here are my favorite photos from their engagement/family session ::

Steph + Ben

Last fall, on a windy, windy day, the lovely Stephanie and her handsome groom Ben tied the knot. Despite the wind that almost blew away a veil, messed up hair, and turned our reflector into a kite, Steph and Ben smiled and laughed through it all :) Their ceremony and reception were both gorgeous and we were honored to be a part of the celebration.

Here are our favorite photos from their big day ::

I loved Steph's classic shoes and her hand-tied bouquet

A hair re-do was necessary after all that wind!

Michael is three!

The littlest Schill is growing up :) This past January, Michael turned three and we celebrated with an adventurous photo session. Usually I see Michael with his big sisters Megan and Claire, so it was fun to spend time with just him. He's growing into a playful, energetic and funny little boy!

Here are my favorites from our afternoon together ::

Michael's sweet t-shirt is by Beckamade and was purchased at Adley Ann's

A winter love story

The most wonderful part of this extra-warm winter we are experiencing? It makes shooting outside in March a dream.

We met up with Rachael and Jered at their place near Fertile, Minn. for their engagement session a few days ago. It was unseasonably warm and we'd just had a nice big snow storm, so we were free to frolic in the snow without getting too cold :) Kory had fun making snowballs and using them to play catch with the dogs.

Rachael and Jered's backyard will also serve as the backdrop for their wedding ceremony this summer. I couldn't be more excited for this. I think it's going to be the perfect setting for a country wedding!
