The Eikum's are a special family. I've known Bert for years and I've always admired his adventurous heart and love for people. I had a blast just hanging out with them and walking through one of Bloomington's best parks on a perfect Fall day in Minnesota.
I first heard about Alex and Jenna from her sister, Erica...just scroll down to the previous post to meet Erica and Eric ;) Both sisters are planning weddings for 2016. Crazy, right?! But, so exciting. After Erica and Eric decided to have me photograph their wedding, I wondered if I'd get an email from Jenna. Eventually I did, and they also decided to have me photograph their wedding. By this point, I was somewhat over the moon. I mean, two sisters are planning their weddings in the same year and I'm going to photograph both of them. Its just so rad. I recently got to hang with both couples for their engagement sessions and I'm so pleased with the photos. Jenna and Alex had me come out to their property in the south metro and we pretty much just hung out and let the sun set. Here's a collection of photos from our time together.
I've had the privilege of photographing the Kalscheuer's A LOT over the years and my excitement only increases each time they contact me. I mean, portrait photography is so much about relationships and the people you are photographing and these folks are THE BEST. Excuse me while I gush right now...when Senate first contacted me she was SUPER chill and trusting and she didn't really even know me. Yah, I had known Jon for a long time (we were track captains together in HS and just good friends) but when a bride hires you for her wedding, engagement and eventually multiple family sessions, its still about trust and that usually takes time to earn. From the get-go, I've been over-the-top supported by this couple and now family and this support has yielded some amazing images. I really can't say "Thank You" enough. Words end up falling short and I only hope the photographs I make will be the greatest thanks...for years to come. Here are some from our time together at Jon's family cabin in Stillwater, MN.
