What a wonderful way to spend part of my Thanksgiving holiday…witnessing the special couple-ness of Paula and Matthew. He’s currently out-of-state attending grad school, so there will only be a few opportunities to be together before their wedding next summer.

We kept the shoot short…one, because they had another holiday festivity to get to, and two, because winter’s chill had already settled in Minnesota! Above are a few favs.

Oh, do I dearly remember those days of being 100’s of miles apart from Kris and writing daily letters to each other. Of course, today we have e-mail, texting, Skype, FB, but nothing replaces being “together.”

So excited to shoot their wedding in July! Happy wedding planning, Paula and Matthew!

Oh my…this has to rank as one of my most fun shoots ever. The gorgeous park, delightful fall weather, and two amazing souls beaming in love.

Such fun was had on this beautiful day for Amanda and Chad. Much love shared, plus a little golf played. Here is a bit of their joy and laughter in the candids I shot for them. 136b-amandachad-mshefveland

mshefveland_9214600 A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to do work for a modeling portfolio and Rachel got to join in the fun. Fun urban setting. Here are some of their favorites.
