There’s something about fall in Minnesota that makes you want to slow down, grab a warm drink, and just be for a while. The crisp air, the golden leaves, the way the sun filters through the trees—it’s the perfect season for a cozy couples session. This time, I got to capture Kristin and Will in a tiny cabin tucked away in the woods, and honestly, I don’t think we could’ve picked a better setting than a cozy Minnesota Airbnb for their couples photos.
I’ve been photographing Kristin and Will every year for a while now, always celebrating their anniversary with a session that feels very them. One year, they jumped into a lake at sunset. The next, they explored the Minneapolis Institute of Art. This time, they wanted cozy Minnesota Airbnb couples photos in the woods!
We started their cozy Minnesota Airbnb couples photos inside the cabin, where these two curled up on the bed, wrapped in blankets, just soaking in the quiet. The place had all the best cozy cabin vibes—warm wood tones, soft lighting, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay in pajamas all day.
Then came the hot cocoa. They made a couple of mugs and danced around the room to some music. It was one of those moments that didn’t feel like a “photo session” at all—just two people being themselves, laughing, and making a simple little memory together.
As the sun started dipping lower, we headed outside. A narrow path wound through the trees, and the light—ohhh, the light—was everything. The kind of golden glow that makes fall feel extra special.
By the time the sun disappeared behind the trees, we were back at the cabin, where Kristin and Will built a fire together. They dances around the fire for a bit and chased each other. There’s just something about a crackling fire on a chilly evening that makes everything feel extra cozy and laid back. They toasted marshmallows, made s’mores (because obviously), and snuggled up as the flames flickered beside them.
And then—just as we were wrapping up—a deer wandered into the background of one of their photos. Yes, really!
If this kind of laid-back, cozy session speaks to you, I’m all for it!
