I have to admit, I had to go back through my files and figure out when my camera met the Crookston crew for the first time. July 2019 was the date, and it was when Miss Raylee was just a teeny tiny baby, I guess she’s the reason we’ve made it a yearly tradition! You’ve probably seen this crew around town, they are always up to something and always finding ways to give back to the community. Riley keeps this city up and running, and Amber keeps the PTO up to par +! One of my favorite parts about this sweet family is their joy, their kindness, and especially their generosity. I don’t think you can have a bad day when Amber is around! So these two were celebrating a special wedding anniversary, and I think they decided to document the occasion in the perfect manner- updated family pictures!
Grace is a beautiful valley, and even the surrounding areas have some stunning views, each season is so different and unique that I fall in love with it with each new season. Now typically my clients ask me to be on the lookout for the perfect spot, but this time I was pleasantly surprised! Riley had spotted this little gem and had already received permission from the landowner- may not seem like a big deal, but I can probably count on one hand how often that has happened! Would you agree that he has a great eye for locations?! It was absolutely beautiful- the wildflowers, the overall view of the valley, the light, it couldn’t have been more perfect and I’m grateful I got to spend it with these five! We dodged the mud-so many mud puddles…, passing vehicles, bugs, and whatever other creatures that were hiding to capture a few perfect moments. I think it was absolutely worth it!
Thank you Crookston family for another fantastic evening, I’m forever grateful for your friendship! Love you!

Oh man, our little Kennedy is EIGHT and as beautiful as ever. This spot that her daddy found ended up being absolutely gorgeous with her baptism dress as well! She’s such a sweetheart! I don’t think there’s much that makes this girl down because whenever I’m around her she’s wearing a big grin and giggling! She is a joy to be around and I’m so excited she was able to be baptized! Love you lots Kennedy!
