    Waterfall | Minnesota Newborn Photographer

    Meet Hunter!  He is such  beautiful baby and we couldn’t wait to have him in the new studio.  Hunter did such a good job and slept the entire time so we were able to get some great shots.  We are just starting to make use of all the newborn photography opportunities at our new space.  Thanks Kelly & Randle for making it out to Graddy Photography.  Graddy Photography is located in Northfield and offers our newborn photography to clients all over the great state of Minnesota.

    Northwoods | Brainerd Wedding Photography

    Last Saturday Graddy Photography covered Stacy & Reed’s wedding in Little Falls, Minnesota.  Believe it or not this isn’t our only wedding in Little Falls this summer (April’s wedding in August).  Also, we have a few weddings this year in the Brainerd Area at resorts such as Grand View Lodge on Gull Lake in Nisswa and Madden’s Resort in Brainerd.  If you are interested in booking your north woods destination wedding be sure to check with Graddy Photography for availability for we only reserve a few dates each year.  Reed & Stacy’s wedding actually took place in Staples with the reception to follow at the Falls Ballroom in Little Falls.  Thanks so much for including Graddy Photography in your wedding day plans.  We had a great time.  Enjoy your honeymoon in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic!

    Vintage | Northfield Family Portraits

    Well here we go at the new studio location!  This was my first outdoor family shoot there and I am thrilled with the results.  Holden made it into Graddy Photography for his six month photos and he did awesome.  It was great to see you again Pete and Erica, can’t wait to see you in the fall for Holden’s one year session!

    Trolley | Award-Winning Wedding Photographer MN

    Here’s a shot that recently placed 8th for transportation in the Quarter 4 round of the WPJA competition.  What’s great about this shot that it actually wasn’t staged at all although it may look like it.  Also, gotta love the nice layering and reflections.  Every year WPJA hosts the largest wedding photography competitions in the world judged by panels of award-winning photojournalists. Competitions, which are held quarterly and open only to WPJA members, are part of the association’s commitment to upholding the highest standards in wedding photojournalism. Membership in WPJA requires rigorous standards in technical skill, aesthetics and best business practices.
