Palisades State Park Engagement Photos Well, this engagement session is going to be hard to follow!! There is nothing I love more than exploring a new location, so I was super excited when Ashlee and Jace were up for heading to Palisades State Park for their engagement pictures! When you first pull into the Palisades […]

Natalee and Casey couldn’t have picked a nicer day for their engagement session! Octobers can be a little iffy here in South Dakota, but the fall colors totally make up for our unpredictable weather! This photographer was totally in love with all of the oranges, reds, and yellows, and for two people wanting their engagement […]

Oh, South Dakota weather, you always know how to keep us on our toes! Abby and Zeb had to reschedule their engagement pictures a couple times due to the weather! The first time was a winter storm, and the second time was due to a HUGE winter storm that totally shut down the state for […]

Seriously, I’ve lived here my whole life and I’ve always known the weather to be crazy, but wow! Saturday was beautifully warm, the sun shined bright; I even thought about not wearing a jacket for a […]
