Hello all! After much thought, prayer, and conversation – Tamrah and I decided that I (Cory) will go to Puerto Vallarta on the missions trip in January. I’ve never been on a trip like this and am SO excited for the experiences ahead!

As far as the mini-sessions go on October 8th, nothing there has changed one bit. Tamrah and I will both be out photographing the sessions, and all of the details remain exactly the same. Down below is a slightly altered promo for the shoot (notice where it says “Cory” instead of “Tamrah”… pretty clever huh?)

*Here’s the original post (written by Tamrah)*

So, guess what?!? No, I haven’t decided to give up coffee, silly. I’m going on a trip. A very special trip, in fact. I’m planning to head to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico this January. And no, it’s not to get a tan (as anyone who knows me knows, my skin doesn’t take too kindly to sunbathing).

Actually, I have the great opportunity to go on a missions trip! I get to spend time caring for the kiddos there, distributing shoes, showing love. And the best part? I get to take my camera, document the trip, and share it with the world. I get to go on this spectacular adventure with the purpose of using my camera to show what people are doing down there to help and love people.

When some people hear the words Puerto Vallarta, they almost instantly say, “Oh, my! It’s beautiful there! Such a great place to vacation!” And while I’m sure that’s true, as in any place that is beautiful and exotic and full of tourists, there are people who are not able to share in the wealth of a beautiful place like that. I get to be part of a group from my church who is going to go to share love with those less fortunate.

I plan to partner with a lovely vintage couch to raise funds for my trip to Mexico. How, you ask? Well, check this out:

And you, my friends, can be a family/couple/individual sitting upon a couch on a field. I’m truly excited for this opportunity. Not only can I raise money for this trip, but I get to do something I’ve always wanted to do: photograph sessions with a lovely, vintage couch in the middle of a big, open, gorgeous field. Not to mention conditions look promising for peak fall color.

Session slots will be available every 45 minutes and will be 30 minutes long. Sessions are $200. Normally, we don’t provide a CD of high resolution images with our sessions, but because of the nature of these sessions, they will be included in the session fee of $200. These high-resolution files can be used for Christmas cards, prints or any other personal use. {In case of rain, Saturday, October 15th is the back-up date}.

P.S. Have we mentioned lately how incredibly great all of our wedding couples are? LOVE.

Their wedding is at the end of this month, and we’re really looking forward to photographing it! (These guys are amazing!)

Sarah and Adrian are one of those great bride and grooms… their engagement session was at Boom Island park in Minneapolis. Along the way we came across a lighthouse, which I knew existed but had never been able to find. It was a great session, and we’re really excited about their wedding!

Daira and Brody’s session was on such a gorgeous fall day, it felt amazing to be outside. And what an energetic and fun couple! We spent our time walking around Dinkytown in Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota campus. Gorgeous!!

I really love how these guys laugh and play… they were full of fun and up for anything! We adventured all over the place, including Boom Island Park in Minneapolis. So fun!

We photographed Leigh and Eddie by the Guthrie Theater and Mill City Museum in Minneapolis. I really love that area for the awesome textures and colors that come across so nicely in photos! These guys are a blast, and I’m sure their wedding will be amazing!

These guys are so fun, we’re really excited to photograph their wedding!
