Couple photography and portrait sessions in Minnesota & North Dakota
Your love story deserves to be captured by someone who genuinely cares about all the little things that make your relationship what it is.
I take pride in personalizing each couple's experience, tailoring every aspect to embracing the essence of individualism. I strive to celebrate each partner's personality, quirks, and style, ensuring that their love story is authentically represented in every image. Recognizing the vulnerability that often accompanies being photographed, especially in intimate moments, I make it my priority to create an environment where couples feel confident and empowered. My ultimate goal is for couples to walk away from their session, not only with beautiful photographs, but also with a sense of connection and joy that lasts a lifetime.
Throughout my years as a portrait photographer, my clients consistently highlight my ability to foster trust and comfort, allowing couples to be their genuine selves in front of my lens.
Whether it's a stolen glance across a crowded room, a tender embrace on a quiet evening, or a playful moment filled with laughter and joy, I am here, dedicated to capturing and preserving the raw authenticity of your relationship.
This point in time is the culmination of an incredible journey you've both embarked on together. It's been a thrilling ride, filled with countless small but meaningful memories. From the excitement of your first dates, through the awkward silences that led to deeper understanding, to the highs of celebration and the lows of grief, your journey is a testament to the wild, unpredictable, yet profoundly beautiful ride that is life. And throughout this journey, you've had your soulmate by your side, sharing every moment, every laughter, every tear. Your love deserves a tangible reminder of all those moments that have helped you both be where you are today.
If you are in need of any kind of photos, Abby will always be my number one recommendation. She is the most talented, kind, reliable, and professional photographer I have ever encountered. She makes it more than a photography session, and turns it into fun, laughable memories. Abby always goes above and beyond my expectations, and I know she will dedicate the same qualities to everyone she meets. We were so honored to have Abby take our engagement pictures that turned out AMAZING and I know our wedding pictures in June will be just as good, if not better

Abby Dahlberg is an actual angel. She is the best human and did such an incredible job making my fiancé and I feel so unbelievably comfortable during our session. She is so kind and genuine. She did an incredible job incorporating our fur babies (golden retrievers) into our photos. We love Abby, not only as our photographer, but also as a person. We cannot wait to continue working with Abby through all of our future life events and to document our most special and meaningful moments. While planning for our sessions, she has been so receptive with our vision for the vibes we’re looking for and has absolutely KILLED it so far. We are forever grateful and will cherish our photos until we’re old and gray. If you need a photographer that is intentional and kind - you NEED Abby.

She captured our raw, sweet, and crazy good love in the BEST way.
Here’s the deal with my couple sessions:
I have a location recommendation guide that I will send your way! This will ensure that I am photographing you in environments that feel comfy and line up with the vision you have for your session.
TROUBLE DECIDING WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR PHOTOS TAKEN?
Because I have been posing individuals and couples from behind the camera for years, I have become a pro at guiding my clients through a plethora of poses and prompts so that you are never stressed about what to do next!
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT NOT KNOWING HOW TO POSE?
I can assist in wardrobe planning for your session, making sure that we find outfits that not only look fabulous on camera, but also promote comfortability and confidence within yourselves!
WONDERING WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR couples PICTURES?
Every couple is absolutely unique, filled with their own special experiences and personal touches. While I do offer a selection of pre-designed packages, these are merely starting points. What I truly enjoy is getting to know each couple personally, understanding their individual needs, quirks, and interests. It's this personal connection that allows me to tailor my services specifically to you, ensuring that every detail is taken care of and that your session is captured perfectly. Please get in touch to find out more!

WHAT IF THERE IS BAD WEATHER ON THE DAY?
Weather can be extremely unpredictable, especially when booking a session months in advance. The week of your session, I will be keeping an eye on the forecast and be in touch with you. If the weather does not permit us to shoot on your chosen session date, we will just reschedule to my next available date!
DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?
I do not have a permanent studio. Natural lighting situations are ideal for photography, so a lot of my sessions take place outdoors. If you are wanting to shoot in an indoor space, there are numerous studios that are available to rent for photo sessions in the area!
How do I book with you?
The first step in booking a session with me is to fill out an inquiry form! You'll be able to find this under my "Contact" page. Once I have received your inquiry, I will send you all of the pricing & packaging information I have for couples sessions!
DO YOU GIVE UNEDITED RAW FILES?
I do not return RAW photos for a few reasons! First, RAW images are incomplete work. The real magic happens during the editing process and I don't want you to receive anything less than my best. I also do not limit your gallery count. I'll always return any photos that are usable. The only shots I don't return are duplicates, out of focus, or poor lighting. You're not missing out on anything.
