Selensky Kids Family Photo Shoot / Bismarck, ND Family Photography

The Selensky family invited me to their home to photograph their kids on a beautiful fall day! They have way more moves on a trampoline than I do! Enjoy! 

Kayla Wiese + Reid Buckley / Wedding Photography In The Mountains Of Montana

Tomorrow one of my best friends is undergoing her 32nd surgery to fix intense back pain she has had for years. I wanted to blog her wedding day to remind her of some of the people that love and support her and Reid so much. You’re in my thoughts Kayla and I wish you all the best tomorrow!

Yosemite National Park Couples Photos

I met an incredibly cool couple on my trip to California. After hiking to the top of Yosemite Falls I spotted these two and asked if I could take a couple photos of them. They were willing and I was so grateful for that! Enjoy! -Ben

Jess + Ryan // North Dakota Engagement Photography

A really cool thing happened to me on an engagement shoot. I drove to Fargo and ended up being there about 4 hours early so I would have enough time to scout out good locations. I had a little free time and stopped by a thrift store like I always do. I picked up a Polaroid camera, hit the shutter, and a photo came out! Who knows how long this film had been loaded into this Polaroid camera. So I picked it up and walked around the store with it. I was waiting to see if the Polaroid that I shot would turn out or if the film was bad. The photo ending up turning out! I was super stoked and then bought the old camera for $3.99. When Ryan and Jess got to the shoot I informed them that I had only two shots left on this camera and we were going to have to use them wisely. We used the two shots at two different locations. Their reactions from actually holding a moment they had together made me feel so grateful and fortunate to be doing what I am doing. Capturing real moments and love will never get old to me.
