Audrey, Chloe & Their Bunnies

in ,

My nieces were so sweet as to lend their bunnies for some fun Easter sessions.  How cute are they with their adorable animals?  After the portrait time with their bunnies, they had a fun overnight with my son Ethan complete with more photos by budding photographer Audrey and her Instax camera.  ;)

Spring Easter Portraits with Bunnies!

I am about to fill the blog with photos of sweet little faces and bunnies so get ready to swoon over adorableness!  How cute are these girls and their beautiful mom?!?!  And little Eva has always been pretty held back with her smiles for me...I guess I just need a bunny at every session!  I am lucky enough to have a sister and sweet nieces who lent their beloved pets for a few photo sessions.

I feel so fortunate to often photograph the lives of two people long after their engagement and wedding.  It seems Jameson's newborn milestones were happening just yesterday and now he has the sweetest baby brother.  I don't often photograph newborn sessions as I am not as great at the beautiful super-posed newborn shots as other photographers are, but there is still something that I absolutely love in photographing a family with their new baby.  It seems like I could use a few more in my life.  ;)  Congratulations Adam and Liz on creating another adorable son!

There is nothing better than when I find out one of my wedding couples is expecting a baby. Sarah and Luke will have a beautiful little newborn girl soon and I am so happy for them!  And I might be a little too obsessed with her unicorn booties...cutest thing ever!  :)  Part two with some softer portraits of Sarah coming soon! 

Julia + Casey | Pine Peaks Event Center Wedding

I don't even know where to start with these two...everything I think of brings a huge smile to my face!  Julia and Casey are two of the most perfectly paired people I have ever met.  Their love for each other is so obvious and they both light up a room.  And how gorgeous is Julia - AH, super beautiful and totally a cover bride in my opinion!!  They celebrated a beautiful just after sunset ceremony - perfectly decorated by Bloom Designs.  And that might be one of my favorite bouquets of my life...just saying.Even though it was a quite chilly winter day (we do live in Minnesota after all...), the grounds of Pine Peaks Event Center were absolutely stunning with the snow, pine tree farm, fields and of course very well thought out amenities.  I didn't venture much outside Brainerd this past season, but that might have to change this year with how much I love shooting there. ;)  Thanks again Julia and Casey - I will always love staring at your beautiful faces and smiling as I remember your contagious laughs!  **Lots of images!  Please give a little time to load.  Slideshow and vendors listed at bottom of post** Venue – Pine Peaks Retreat and Event Center  //  Dress – Casablanca  //  Floral and Design – Bloom Designs  //  Photographer – Aimee Jobe  //  Dessert – Nothing Bundt Cakes and North Mallow  //  Hair and Makeup – C'est La Vie Salon  //  Invitations – Ginger P.

I can't wait for Chloe and Andrew's private residence wedding next year! These two are so incredibly sweet and seriously look like they should be on the cover of the Eddie Bauer...so beautiful!  We spent a summer evening on Andrew's grandparents property where they will be married.  Thankfully the rain held off just long enough for us to get some amazing images, including the fun shots with Chloe's dad's teal Bronco.  Chloe and Andrew - I CANNOT wait for your wedding in August!
