Noah — 7 and 12 months old

Tamrah — Tue, 31 May 2011 20:37:18 +0000

We recently photographed Noah’s 1st birthday party… It was a fun event celebrating a big milestone in this little guy’s life! We’ve been photographing Noah since before he was born (see here). It’s awesome seeing his personality emerging as he enters toddler-hood. Before we post a few of our favorites from his party, here are a few favorites from his 7 month session that we hadn’t had a chance to post yet:

And a few of our favorites from his birthday party:

Three Little Birds — Halloween party

Tamrah — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 20:03:55 +0000

Happy Halloween! Yes, I said Halloween. I just couldn’t resist posting a few of our favorites from a Halloween party we photographed… I seriously started feeling chilly and smelling wood smoke as I chose my favorites. Ahhh… fall. My favorite season. And this party embraced all that was fun: great food, a bonfire, games, and (so awesome) a “happy halloween” parade.

Another thing about these photos that had me itching to post them is the fact that Three Little Birds is ~~one of the most~~ the most amazing childcare/preschool ever. Whenever I check out their blog I find myself wishing I was that age all over again… seriously. Check it out. I’ll bet you never had this much fun when you were their age.

Andrea and Aaron — Wedding Reception

Tamrah — Wed, 26 May 2010 21:51:53 +0000

We were traveling through rural Minnesota on our way to photograph Aaron and Andrea’s reception, passing by beautiful rolling hills, farm fields, and cow pastures, when we came to quite a sight. Their reception was at the Little Log House in Hastings, MN which is an amazing place filled with old pioneer buildings, an antique gas station, a spiral bridge, a working machine shop with vintage tractors, and the Village Hall which is a great space for a reception. Aaron and Andrea, who had their wedding in Cabo San Lucas, threw a great party… it was a lot of fun to photograph!

Erin Kate’s 30th Birthday Celebration

Tamrah — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:01:28 +0000

We photographed Erin Kate’s 30th birthday celebration at Cafe Lurcat in Minneapolis. “Hollywood glam” was the theme of the night and everyone was decked out in their finest glamorous attire. It was a great crowd and a lot of fun.

Big Brothers Big Sisters: Rock the Cause

Tamrah — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:39:26 +0000

Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of the Twin Cities teamed up with Rock the Cause to put on an awesome 80′s concert and event to raise money for BBBS. Guests came decked out in their most fabulous 80′s garb. The event also helped to create awareness of the current need for more “big brothers” and “big sisters” in the area.

Ashley Tisdale

Cory — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:35:09 +0000

I recently photographed Ashley Tisdale (of High School Musical fame) performing at the Mall of America to promote her new album, Guilty Pleasure, and movie with Robert Hoffman, Aliens in the Attic. It was a lot of fun, and pretty entertaining… but I definitely need to remember to bring my earplugs next time I’m shooting up front.

Erin Kate and Ben’s White Light Party

Tamrah — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 23:55:53 +0000

Erin Kate and Ben invited us out to their beautiful home to photograph a backyard “white light” party. We did a fun mix of portraits and candids of their guests. We really enjoy photographing their parties– they’re such a mix of casual, class, and fun.

Erin Kate and Ben’s Backyard Bash

Tamrah — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:47:53 +0000

We had a great time photographing Erin Kate and Ben’s backyard bash… Their wedding was the day before and they wanted to continue the celebration with friends and family. The weather was perfect and the food was delicious.

Home from Iraq

Cory — Wed, 27 May 2009 13:10:13 +0000

Luke Stombaugh came home from Iraq after his second year-long deployment with the Army National Guard. His wife, Amanda, asked us to document the emotional event when Luke and others from the 34th Combat Aviation Brigade arrived home to St. Paul. It was a beautiful moment and I was glad to be part of it.

Hamline Alumni Gatherings

Cory — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:00:23 +0000

I recently photographed the Hamline University alumni gatherings at the Town and Country Club in St. Paul and the Minneapolis Club. These are great events for Hamline grads to get together to socialize and network outside of the standard class reunions. I had a lot of fun looking for nice moments to photograph.
