I’m so excited to be the new intern at Hadley Photography Fargo! I have had a passion for photography and art all my life, so this opportunity is a dream come true! But before I tell you about all the fun I’m having with Kendra, I’d like to share a brief history of my life with you!
I grew up in a small town of 1,500 people about two hours north east of Fargo; Fosston, MN. I loved animals, swimming, singing, music, my family, creating, photography and art. I graduated from Fosston High School and started college at NDSU in the fall of 2008. I knew immediately that I wanted to major in art. I’m now a junior/3rd year at NDSU in the art program.
FUN as defined by Merriam-webster is: “what provides amusement or enjoyment.” Working with Kendra is not only incredibly FUN but amazing. She is awe-inspiring and a stupendous mentor!
Kendra and I shot a wedding two weekends ago and here are a few of my favorite shots!
Everyone: Jenna and Kaleb!
They were all smiles!
They are official!
The father/daughter dance was a “Summer Lovin’” duet!

Carissa is a sorority sister from UND and she and Travis were SO much fun to photograph. They stuck it out in the rain, and I’m so glad we did – how sweet are these??
Favorite! I mean, I love every. single. one. But this – it’s love!! 
It’s hard to believe I’m photographing engagements for NEXT summer’s weddings already! Can’t wait for this one!!

Wow, time for this non-blogging to stop!
Amber is an art student at NDSU and my new life-saver / intern. SO excited to have her as part of Hadley Photography this semester!!
We went out to the Old 52 store in Sabin, MN for a little photo shoot/lesson last week. So…meet Amber!
Isn’t she gorgeous?? And totally fun. Love these -
She and Hadley totally bonded = an intern essential.
Favorite!
SO excited to have her onboard! Welcome to chaos, Amber.

I met this little guy at Island Park for some classic one-year-cake-smashing pictures.
We had to get a few before he was covered in frosting:
But then he got to let loose on that birthday cake (and he didn’t hold back)!
LOVE this one!
Thanks, A family!

I just finished my first meeting with my new intern (who I am SO excited to introduce you to because, well, she’s pretty much awesome), but I have to confess a little sadness that this season of hanging out with my little sister/best-intern-ever has come to an end.
No pressure, Amber, but you have big shoes to fill.

This is turning into an annual event…my extended family spends a week out at the lake and I have the pleasure of photographing a couple of my cousin’s families.
Andrea & Jaden have two little guys who had been practicing their smiles:
And Mariah and Ryan have their hands full with twin 3-month olds and a just-turned-two year old. I just had to imagine, because they were so sweet for pictures.
(I LOVE this one of Rowyn!)
Thanks, family.

How did I miss posting this beautiful family?
Kate was older than 2 weeks for this newborn shoot, but she was SO cooperative…perfectly sleepy and adorable.
We got some wonderful wide-eyed shots too -
And I’m a sucker for father-daughter pictures:
But I can’t even say that Kate stole the show, because big brothers Owen and Thomas were pretty awesome too:
And I LOVE family pictures like this – they’re what I consider Real. Life.

This video made me cry my eyes out. So, of course, I had to share.
Military Family Reunion
As a military brat whose dad spent lots of time away (including a one-year tour in Iraq), I would be honored to photograph your family as you send off your loved one or as you are reunited. Shoot me an email {{kendra[at]hadleyphotographyfargo[dot]come}} to talk details.

This summer has FLOWN by, hasn’t it??
I am back from L.A. and wish I could move back. Tomorrow.
I have sent my summer intern back to school 
and begun interviews for my Fall 2010 intern .
I have photographed 18(!!) weddings since April and have 8 more to go before my 6 week vacation (when I might actually be able to catch up on blogging this crazy summer). Whew.
Here’s a preview of a couple of beautiful July weddings:
As always…more soon!
