Here are some of the photographs from their special day!
]]>
This is Vincent and his friend Lyndon. I just love capturing this photo they were just chilling and looking so cute, I said hey boys can you smile for me and this is what I got-don't you just think there the cutest!
In the blue is my fiancé Bob and his brother Justin is in red holding the Wonder Woman Birthday girl Adeline!
This is Grandma Mary laughing because Adeline starting putting her feet on the table.
The nephews always love hanging out and playing around with their Uncle Bob.
Pinanta Time!!!
Who they call papa Isaac and Al share the same Birthday!
On a hot Sunday in July I photographed a close family of mine's family photos and their daughter, Payson's 1 year cake smash photos. I've known Tammy and her family since I was in elementary school and the good ole' St. Al's. 6 months ago I photographed Payson's 6 month photos, I can't believe she's one already!
Sunday was for sure a hot day but it wasn't too bad with the wind in the shade. We went to a park called Lakeside in Spring Lake Park. I have actually photographed a wedding there before. Its got a cute little lake, a nice bridge and some walking paths, it was perfect for this photo shoot.
We first did the family shoot. My favorite one is of Kasey throwing Payson up in the air, her smile is precious! Then I took some of jsut Payson and then the cake smash! For the balloons I went to the Dollar Tree first because I know they have balloons but they weren't able to blow up just plain ballons I asked and they said Festival doesn't do them either- but I had a hunch and I went next door, so glad I did because they had a whole section for balloons. They were so helpful and it was a very decent price too! Highly recommend Festival Foods in Brooklyn Park!
Such a good looking family!! I can't wait to see how they have grown up on the next photo shoot!

Here's a sneak peak!

Saturday evening, I was able to attend my boyfriend's nephew and Godson's baptism. Baptism is so special to me! It's about being forgiving of all our sins and being renewed to faith and Faith with the Lord. I personally was baptized twice actually. Once when I was a baby and once a few years ago; when I wanted to renew my faith. I am a very strong faith-filled woman and I love being apart of a big day like this! Especially since I was able to photograph it too!
Vinny (What Bob & I like to call him) is a sweet baby. He's already been through a lot too, he had too many visits to the hospital after he was born. But thankfully he's doing great now! We are all very blessed with this sweet baby boy! He has two older brothers and I just don't know how Justin and Jessie- take care of the three of them! I know their faith in God gets them through it all!! But all I know is they are a great bunch and they love your uncle/Godfather! It's so cute to see Bob play with the three of them! It melts my heart that he loves kids!
]]>Andy & Nicole and I had a great time on this photo shoot. Their dog, was a little wild that day but I thought I still got one cute one of when they were kissing in the background.
Andy & Nicole are getting married in October, I can't wait for the beautiful colors! Thank you Andy & Nicole for letting me be apart of your big day! It's going to be so fun!
Here's some of the photos from the shoot.
I have a boyfriend of over 3 years, his name is Bob, he keeps me going and stay steady. He is the man of dreams plus so much more! He helps Marissa be Marissa.
I have a great family, and I have I think over 35 cousins, it might be close to like 50 at least it feels that way! But I love it! I love them! I don't know what I'd do without all that support!
One of my most fond photography moments- was when I would go into my parents backyard and take photos of all the flowers my dad planted. They were just a God's gift of beauty and that's how I fell in love with photography! Nature!
I work for Tiger Oak Media as a staff photographer. I get published every month in various magazines. Look on the published tab under photographs to see some of the things I've done! I love this job! It's fun to work with Art directors!
I don't have any pets, but I would LOVE A dog, if I ever have time for one :)
I am very outgoing, I literally would love to talk to anyone I run across. It's just my personality! I love it- I am for sure not shy!
That's just a tiny bit about me! But I hope you learned a little bit more about me :)
HAVE A WONDERFUL & BLESSED DAY

A couple Wednesday's ago I took newborn photos, officially for the first time! My dad made me a background stand and my mom, graciously took her time and made me a vinyl beanbag. Which all in all was way less expensive than buying it on Etsy. But all in all I got the idea from Etsy and found how to make them off of Pinterest! Gosh gotta love Pinterest! :)
So my cousin Jeremy and his wife Steph, had their second boy, Bryce. He is too cute and a gift from God. Here is a little sneak peak into what I have!
I hope they love it and I am excited to photograph his 3 month. 6 month and 9 months photos too!
It's fun to see them grow and I hope to get better and better at newborn photography- I loved it!
Thank you Jeremy, Steph, Bryce and Jaxon for being my guinea pigs! :) I hope you love the photos !

When I am photographing a wedding, one of my favorite things to photograph is all the details of the day... the rings, flowers, bouquets, jewelry, etc. But when I come to think of why I love to is because the small things matter in life.
The other morning I was able to wake up to the sight of Forest Lake. Yes it was cold out but the view was beautiful; snow on the ground, a frozen lake, and a little bit of a sun peaking out. I was lucky enough to have this view because my brother and his girlfriend, Leah, live out on Forest Lake.
When I am at a wedding, family photo shoot, really any kind of photo shoot, I tend to look for the small details that I see, not just of objects but of people. How they are interacting with each other, how happy they are. I love in this photo I took back in the fall of Sara, Greg and their daughter Sydney, I can remember her saying swing me more and again, it made for a cute photo and a fun memory. Moments like these, those small moments matter the most! That is what I live to capture in my photos. " A moment like this, some people wait a life time, for a moment like this. (Lyrics sung by Kelly Clarkson)."
It makes me think of that song! Not to go off topic but I started watching American Idol, the last season the other day and this show has had a lot of impact on a lot of people, there's so many stories of dreamers and I love how inspiring it is.
I want to inspire you and your story and capture who you are! That is what my photography is about.
Before I go, today and everyday stop and take advantage of the small things in life and be thankful for what and who you have around you.
You all have a wonderful and blessed day!
God bless you and thank you for listening!
I went to college with Josh and when they asked me to be their photographer I was so thrilled!
Nikki and Josh are totally in love and you could see it everywhere throughout their wedding day!
Nikki and Josh did not see each other until she walked down the aisle. I love this, now of days a lot of people want to do the first look before hand. Photographing this was so emotional and beautiful- I am glad they decided to this traditional setting!

These two I met at my close friend's bridal shower. Mike is my friend's cousin. I am so looking forward to their June wedding!
These two are just too adorable and goofy. We had laughs the whole time! We even went out on the boat-which made it an adventure!
Thank you Mike & Trisha! Can't wait for June!
Enjoy some of the photos!-
The Korpi's wanted a studio look to their family photos, so I brought the studio to their home!
I know Kathy through Arbonne. I actually used to sell these amazing products! but I decided to take photography full on. I'm glad I did but still love these products.
This family had a lot of energy! Which makes it all more fun! I have to shoot fast and effectively. I think I did a great job- check out some of the photos-
Thank you Korpi Family for hiring iMMMagine Photography!
What an adventure I had last Saturday!
I took Jodi's senior photos and she was such a fun person to work with! As I say I always reach to have fun on every shoot, and I might add this was one of the best!
I even climbed a tree with Jodi to get some photos! I have to honest it was easy getting up... but going down I got a little scared! I was able to get help from my awesome assistant Francisco and Jodi's dad! Even though I ended up scraping my arms- it was totally worth it!
I had so many photos to choose from (which is great!)... but here is a sneak peak!
Thank you Jodi for being so fun and adventurous! What a joy to work with- and I wish you the best in your senior year and beyond!

So the other day, I had some time to kill and so I decided to take photos of my confirmation ring. I had some flowers that still looked good from my grad party celebration, so I thought it would be good practice.
I love doing details shots, sometimes I wish I could do that the whole wedding!
It's so cool at a wedding to see what people have chosen for details, whether they made it or bought it. From the gorgeous, unique rings, to the colorful flowers. It's amazing I've had a few weddings where they didn't do real flowers and they turned out really neat.
I think the details tell a story as well as the details are thought out, even the colors of the day!
Now I have a question for every woman out there- What type of details would you use that would tell a story about you and your man? Would you go for a color scheme or more like a theme, for example barn wedding?
Please comment below!
Thank you for joining me! Have a blessed and wonderful day!

A couple weeks ago my photographers friends and I gathered to do a styled wedding shoot. It was so fun! Alexa is a model and she did an awesome job- her boyfriend, Dan was awesome too! I thought he could be a model too!
This was a great experience for me, I really enjoyed trying some things in lighting that I haven't tried in any of the weddings I've photographed. For example in the above photo backlighting. I loved it I am for sure going to try it at my next wedding.
I cannot wait to do her senior photos!
I just love the glow I captured from her blonde hair!
Thank you again Lauren and my assistant Karen!

This time around I took photos of a family that has fostered 22 dogs total! That is so amazingly awesome to me! I think it is so great that someone would dedicate themselves to that many dogs until they get their own home. I do not have a dog of my own right now just because I am too busy. But eventually I hope to foster myself. Check out more information on Good Karma MN at http://www.goodkarmamn.org/ if you interested in fostering!
Thanks for listening and have a blessed and wonderful day!
