It was the most perfect, hot, summer night when I met Sara and Paul out in Minnetonka. The greens were perfectly green, and it felt like we had the whole park and lake to ourselves. Sara grew up on the water, so it only made sense to capture these two on Minnetonka, where they spend […]

Amy + Josh are one of my couples for 2018, and they also happen to live in Chicago! We connected over the phone a few weeks back and connected the dots that I would be down in Chicago visiting my sister, which would mean that we’d be able to take their photos down there too! […]
