The Archbold Family

Combo for a GREAT day = fun family, cute kids, beautiful fall leaves, and gorgeous evening light!

Evan

Can you believe how big Evan is getting?! I don't know how it's possible, but he keeps getting cuter every time I see him!

Liz and Tighe

Liz and Tighe live in the same neighborhood where Justin and I do and although we've chatted a bit in passing either walking the dog or grilling out, it was really fun to hang out with them on a beautiful evening in Rochester, get to know them a bit better, and talk about their upcoming wedding plans! They are naturally fun, relaxed, and stylish people and I'm so excited for their August wedding in Rochester! Congratulations!








My favorite of the day.









I love you, MN sunset light!



They came up with this all on their own! I was way impressed!

Kallie and Dan

Kallie and Dan are getting married! I went to high school with both Kallie and Dan. In fact, I sat just down the line from Dan in band. He was on track for choosing a great instrument in the low brass department but fell a little bit short in his choice of the trombone instead of the euphonium, which is clearly superior to all low brass! (Side note: A euphonium is what I played! Don't know what a euphonium is?? Google it.) Although Dan's instrument choice is slightly lacking, his choice in picking Kallie is out of this world! She is an awesome person! I know this because I used to chat with her on ICQ (remember that chatting program!?!?) late into the night discussing world peace, boys, and other extremely important issues at age 16. :) Interesting fact: Kallie and Dan never dated in high school! It wasn't until they were out of school and living in the cities when sparks started to fly! We shot their engagement session at and around the ultra cool Rice Park in St. Paul (I also have an awesome Rice Park wedding to blog about SOON!). I can't wait for their August wedding in Watertown, SD! I'm secretly hoping Kallie's older sister, Erin from Erin and Charlie's wedding, will prepare an incredible "photo spreadsheet" like she did at her wedding! Congrats and happy planning, guys!








Iphone? Yes please!

The Thistle Family

Ever wondered what the definition was adorable is? See below for not only the definition, but the epitome of adorable!

Addison and family

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love 2 year olds! There is something to be said for the thrill of not knowing what exactly their mood is going to be like...perhaps happy, perhaps mad, perhaps silly, perhaps scared, perhaps excited. Perhaps happy one minute and sad the next. Perhaps, no most likely, a variety of all emotions! Addison was just that and I had a blast getting to know all her expressions and her parents!





I think I'm scared of that bubble!



But I like those!



Great idea with the leaves, Mom and Dad!






Dad, are you done throwing leaves yet?






Thanks for a fantastically fun morning, guys!

The Krause Family

I met the Krause family at Whitewater State Park a couple weeks ago! A beautiful park, a beautiful day, a beautiful family!
