My one and only senior from Rosholt this year is my neighbor (and some sort of cousin) Landon! I love coming to Rosholt to do photos because there are so many fun places to do photos either at my parents’ farm or on relatives’ land!!

Landon has been super busy this summer playing basketball – he has probably traveled more this summer than I have in my high school and college career combined!!

I could tell Landon was more comfortable with the serious look, but we had to get a couple smiling ones in for mom!! :-)

I thought for sure I would have to bring a ladder with me to do Landon’s photos – to give you an example of how tall he is on this next photo, the ledge he has his elbows on was at eye-level for me. I looked pretty silly with my elbows up there showing him how to pose!!

I told you Landon was busy with basketball this summer, but I forgot to mention that he is AWESOME at basketball! He scored his 1,000th point early on in his Junior year. A lot of guys don’t even get that in their Senior year!!

Thanks for pretending to have a good time taking photos yesterday, Landon! :-)

Enjoy these images – you’ll be able to see the rest of them by the end of this week!!

My second wedding with Samantha was in Ortonville – Shawn and Kristin – she has such beautiful clients!!!

Kristin’s sister helping with her necklace:

Sometimes I like to catch the first glances of the parents:

Kristin had everything personalized from the girls’ getting ready shirts to charms on the bouquets and cake topper:

Shawn + Kristin exchanged cards right after their first look – so emotional!! LOVE IT!!

During the ‘formal’ wedding party photos, Sam was working with the girls and I borrowed the guys for some fun shots:

Can you tell I like ring shots? Guess what I used for this next one:

Just minutes before everyone came down the aisle:

From what I can tell, Kristin is SO her father’s daughter!!

Congrats on your marriage, Shawn + Kristin!!

Sam – Thanks SO MUCH for having me with you this weekend! I can’t wait to do it again!!

I helped my good friend Samantha Meyer with a couple weddings this weekend – the first one being Kiki + Wesley in Ottertail. I haven’t been a second shooter for almost a year now, so it was fun to go and talk lots of fun images without the pressure of getting all the important ones. :-)

The first image is of Kiki’s grandmother’s brooch that she had made into a hair clip. Can you say GORGEOUS!?!! Just wait until you see the bride…

Kiki’s dad helping her get her bracelet on:

And her sister seeing her for the first time all dressed up. :-)

Kiki stealing a glance at her soon-to-be husband:

Sam in action!!

The bridesmaids watching from a distance:

I love catching those glances that a couple shares during the ceremony!

Kiki’s father read a note that she wrote to her little sister when she moved away to college. Embarrassing for them, funny for everyone else! :-)

They had a wedding singer for their dance – I’ve never seen the movie but I’ve heard this guy is just as entertaining as Adam Sandler:

Kiki + Wesley – it was a treat getting to know you this past weekend! You make a very beautiful couple.

I had a blast shooting with Sam this weekend, but I was so excited to get home and see my nephew!! I’ll post the two weddings later this week, but for now here’s Ben reading Jonas some books before bedtime tonight:
