Horsin’ Around | Heith and Barbara

2020-10-18_0017.jpgI met up with Heith, Barbara, and their two kiddos at Seventh Farm Horse Riding School for some fall time family photos. We’ve been lucky enough to have what feels like an endless fall in Minnesota this year, and it’s great to take advantage of the snowless landscape. We had a blast wandering all over the farm, hanging out with the horses, and even adopting a couple of barn cats for the day! 

Moments of joy like this are so precious, especially right now, and it’s always a delight to share them.

Fall Family Fun | April, Mike, & Nellie

2020-10-18_0013.jpgThis fall has been jam-packed with family time. Not to sound like a broken record, but every year that we see a Brovado family grows feels so special. It has been so much fun seeing Nellie as she gets older, it feels like just yesterday that we were taking these sweet at-home photos when she was a newborn! 

We chose such a picturesque fall day to stroll through St. Anthony Main and across the Stone Arch Bridge with April, Mike, and Nellie. Between the gorgeous fall leaves and this family’s sunny disposition, we could not have asked for a better day.

Liesel’s First Birthday | Tyler & Shawn

2020-10-17_0001.jpgShawn, Tyler, and their daughter Liesel had me to their home for a sweet family shoot in the last warm, sunshiney days before fall hit.  During this session full of backyard laughs, we were joined by their two friendly, frolicking dogs.  Reconnecting with these two (now three!) brought back memories of their Lake Okoboji wedding in 2015.  You can’t forget bright smiles like that!

 In addition to catching up, we were also celebrating Liesel’s first birthday!  Scroll allllll the way down for the birthday girl enjoying a sweet treat.

From the U of M to Universal Studios | Jeanette & Kevin

Kevin kissing Jeanette on her foreheadI accompanied Jeanette and Kevin to their alma mater for their engagement photos, a campus that has incredible views of the Minneapolis skyline, lush green fields, and delightfully eclectic architecture. We toured many of the University of Minnesota’s landmarks, even through a brief sprinkling of rain. These two met as members of the university’s marching band, and now bond while volunteering for the group.

Another shared interest of this couple is a fun one, Happy Potter! If you look *really* close, you might even spot a time turner around Jeanette’s neck, originally sported by none other than Hermione Granger. In line with their fondness for the popular book and movie series, Kevin proposed to Jeanette in front of Hogwarts Castle at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. And if that’s not cute enough, the proposal accidentally took place on Jeanette’s grandparents’ anniversary as well. 

Jeanette and Kevin absolutely rock a candid photo, they know just how to make each other laugh. They have fun and it shows! I am so looking forward to a whole wedding day of these two in their element.

Light and Airy at Legacy Hill Farm | Heather & Daniel


Despite being thrown the curveball of 2020, Heather and Daniel’s wedding day was as smooth, beautiful and full of smiles. They had to modify their original wedding day plans, but were able to honor their initial June 20th date, tying the knot amongst a close circle of friends in Duluth before this larger celebration at Legacy Hill Farm.

Their whole day was bright and vibrant, mirroring the white barns and flowing fabric backdrops at the farm. I can’t believe we’ve never made it out to Legacy Hill Farm before! This stunning venue provided a great outdoor option for both the ceremony and reception. It’s hard to top the views in Heather and Daniel’s gorgeous engagement photos throughout the hills of Idaho, but Legacy Hill’s scenery certainly rivals them.

You could see lightning and the gorgeous power of a thunderstorm rolling in behind them while Heather and Daniel read their vows, and not 10 minutes after they said “I do,” we were in a downpour. The storm gave the couple the chance to take a needed rest before their reception, which featured a breezy, busy dance floor, and a fun sparkler exit.

Heather and Daniel, congratulations! Thank you for being willing to roll with the punches and keep a smile on your face the entire time.
