The Schultz family was an absolute joy to photograph. We met by the river in East Grand Forks for a sunset session, where the golden light and playful energy of their little ones paired perfectly.

Their gallery is filled with warmth, connection, and timeless beauty — a perfect reflection of what I love most about photography in Grand Forks, ND.
I photographed the Smith family in a beautiful open field on Grand Forks Air Force Base, where the boys brought all the playful energy that makes family sessions magical.
