Neither Covid nor the freezing rain could stop the third attempt to make forever happen for these two lovebirds. I adore this beautiful niece of mine and her lucky man! Congratulations you two!

So grateful to get to watch the most inspiring and beautiful Finnish fairytale unfold right before my eyes. Val served her mission in Finland with Kate. They became companions and dear friends, and in the process Val became part of the family! She asked me while serving her mission over a year and a half ago, if I would shoot her wedding one day. We would do anything for this wonderful girl! As it turns out, the amazing photography genius Heather Munns felt the same way about helping this dear missionary, and agreed to help shoot the wedding. I will never forget the absolute joy in Emil and Val's faces, the power that was felt in their temple sealing, and the love these two share for each other, their families, and their friends. They are now back in Finland together, and I have no doubt they are inspiring, and warming hearts and homes wherever they go in that gorgeous country. Here are just a few shots from those two special days! Valerie Cardon Emil Pärkkä Heather Hintze Munns

Here are a few pictures from a series of shoots I've finally had time to edit! I am working on a little project for the ranch which has given me a lot more shooting time in pastures and barns. It's been a blast!

It has been months since I posted anything on here! I'm still in the middle of working on the ranch book project so lots of shooting, and history reading going on. But it was too hard to resist these adorable girls who begged to shoot some early morning flag pictures on the 4th! Here are are some of their favs as well as a few bloopers!

Absolutely loved working with Chloe and Chad and their families this weekend! Talk about two kids totally in love! We are so excited for them and this new season of their lives. And uh, any time you get a bunch of Justesens together it's always a huge party! Here are just a few pics from their beautiful wedding. Huge thanks to the incredible Heather Hintze Munns for working her photography magic once again!

So happy for these two adorable love birds! It was a wonderful weekend and always a party when our family gets together! Here are a few shots from the wedding...I have a bazillion more to sift through. The wind was most unhelpful that day dang it!

So grateful for a gorgeous sunny afternoon to reshoot these two lovebirds since Mother Nature did not get the memo for no rain on their big, beautiful wedding day! Brittany could not have been any more STUNNING on both days! It is so sweet to see how smitten these two are. We are getting through the hours of editing and should be done this week! A huge thank you once again to the incredibly talented Heather Munns Photography & Design for second shooting!
