Erik and Elizabeth are one of my absolute favorite couples to photograph. Their beautiful Blue Horse wedding in 2013 was SUCH a relaxing, memorable day and I enjoyed it so much! When I found out they pregnant with twin boys I think I literally squealed... and then secretly hoped that I'd be able to photograph their family someday. :) 

Well, my wish came true!! I was in MN a at the end of May and they invited me over to photograph their brand new baby boys - aren't they sweet??

Watching them hold and comfort their small little loves made my heart want to explode with happiness - they're such great parents! 

David and Emmet were such great little models... 

And the midday sun in their backyard was PERFECT for photos! 

Congratulations, Erik and Elizabeth! I'm so so happy for you guys, and I can't wait to see your sweet boys grow up! We love you! :)

It was her Grandma Alice's birthday, and I asked if I could tag along when Sara went to visit... You can learn so much from people who have been married for 67 years. Sara is really close with her grandparents and I loved getting the chance to just sit and be with them!!

Their home is full of memories and I found myself wondering what kinds of stories the walls were hiding... :)

Alice is a strong, compassionate, peppery (it's totally a word!) woman who loves her family fiercely. She did NOT like the idea of being photographed when she wasn't looking her best... but I convinced her that her life is worth celebrating no matter what she's wearing. :)

Don is a tough, sweet, flirtatious man, and there's always a twinkle in his eye! :)

Alice wasn't feeling well enough to go outside for pictures, so we just hung out inside and looked at old photo albums. 

Happy belated birthday, Alice! Thanks for letting me tag along to visit your grandparents, Sara!! :)
