Holidays and Family Photography!

Now that most of the holiday cards have been sent out, I am sharing just a few of some of the wonderful family images I photographed this fall. I offered a mini session at the end of November and was delighted that a lot of my regular clients took advantage of this, but also a couple of my previous bridal couples. Dogs, babies, kids = Family Love!

AJ Preserves Fall

It's no surprise that AJ would want to "preserve fall". His mom is chef/owner at Tastebud Catering and co-owner at Kitchen in the Market. He knows what is good and he knows we should savor these beautiful fall days...

Here's a little something to share with you...

 I have been photographing my own weddings professionally for over 10 years. A lot has changed in the business. I have a darkroom in the basement that I no longer use. Trends and styles change. What hasn't changed is my respect for my clients and the responsibility that I have been given to provide my wedding couples with the best experience possible for the biggest day of their lives. I like to keep an open, honest dialogue with my couples. Of all the vendors they have on their wedding day, they spend the most time with their photographer. It's important that they feel comfortable with me and trust me to make great photographs for them. I like to discuss what the couple is looking for and figure how we can best work together to achieve the photographs they will have to remember their wedding. My style is mix of modern-classic. I want my couples to look back at their wedding pictures years and years from now and see exactly how fabulous they were on their wedding day. I want the couple to have not just one or two favorites from their day, but so many that they couldn't choose a favorite even if they had to. It's also about starting a relationship that continues after the wedding day. Many of my couples have children and return to me year after year to photograph their children. I love seeing that continuation of a day that I have been honored to be a part of.

New Website = Awesome!

I have a new website! Designed by Kim at Green Olive Design in Minneapolis. She did an awesome job and I couldn't be happier with the new format. Try it with your phones! Right now, the wedding section is not up. But you can view recent work here at my blog or you can go over to my old site, which will be up for a little longer.

MN Women's Press + 'Zine Collecting

Every now and then I get the opportunity to photograph for the Minnesota Women's Press. It's a great way to keep me on my toes as I never know what to expect. This particular assignment was a delight. Lacey from Zine Apothecary is running a 'Zine Library in her garage in south Minneapolis. Super cool. Here are some of my favorite images and you can read all about Lacey in the Women's Press story HERE.
