Brandon...

This Brainerd High School senior braved 20 degree temperatures yesterday to have his senior portraits taken! It just goes to show that senior photo season is more than June, July & August. I really enjoyed getting to know you Brandon! Have a great senior year!

Happy Thanksgiving

This year I am especially THANKFUL to my customers who have allowed my dream of becoming a full-time photographer to come true. Without you I have no business. Thank you for the trust you give me to document your family, wedding, reunion, or new baby. I appreciate your business more than I can say. I have so many reasons to give thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving!

All in the Family

This family is now a new relative of mine since I became married in September! I love hanging out with Kirsten, Emma and Ethan...even more fun was to photograph them :) The kids were great for our session. Emma even exclaimed, "Mom! This is so fun." That's a great thing for a photographer to hear!

David & Danielle'

Just when I thought I had contracted my last 2007 wedding, Danielle’ emailed me and said she was planning an October wedding at the Legacy @ Craguns….. A quick engagement, but a long relationship. Danielle’ and David were a super pair to work with. I know that can sound like a broken record, but these two were fun, calm, up for anything, and SO IN LOVE! It rained 3 straight days before their wedding but their day was perfect. Just like them. Danielle’ and Dave, I sincerely thank you for the chance to photograph this most important day. You have an amazing group of family and friends, and I have enjoyed getting to know you both.

Oh, and Danielle’, you have the coolest new name of any bride I have ever photographed. It sounds like a movie star! I love it!

Josh

This little boy has a special place in my heart. His parents hired me to photograph his newborn photos when I was just getting my “photographic feet” on the ground in the Twin Cities. I knew what I wanted to do in this industry….I just needed customers. Enter-Josh. I have watched his eyes grow bluer and hair grown blonder. He’s a happy boy and full of personality.

One Crazy + One Crazy = Too Crazy!

Here is one of my favorite photographers and myself after our “trash the dress” session. Too much fun :) As far as I know, his equipment is intact and my dress is currently at the dry cleaners. This photo proves, sometimes you do ANYTHING in the name of good photography.
