This last weekend we photographed sessions at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis to raise money for Haiti (February 13th and 14th). After all is said and done, we anticipate money raised to be between $2,000 and $3,000. Thanks so much to everyone who booked a session! Check out the organization that the proceeds will go to: http://www.worldvision.org.
Here is a sneak peek for the first day we photographed… we’ll be posting another blog post for Day 2 soon:
Haiti has been on my mind lately. I watch news coverage in the middle of the night while I feed little Jude. It hurts my heart to see people in such need.
The other night after a particularly long feeding, and after watching some of the coverage, I laid Jude back into his crib, crawled into bed and said a prayer for the people of Haiti. And then it struck me. Here I was, snuggling into my nice warm bed, my husband beside me. Our new baby was safe in a crib just an arm’s reach away. Our 2 and 4 year old were sleeping peacefully in the room next to us. I had just chugged a huge glass of clean, fresh water.
I started to think about how lucky I am. How small the worries in my life really are, compared to the worries that the Haitian people are facing. They are facing such heavy worries right this very minute. Not knowing where to go. Where to sleep. Where they will get their next meal. Where their families are. They estimate that there are now around 1 million orphans in Haiti. Wow.
We want to do something.
And that’s where you come in.
On February 13th and 14th, 2010 we will be holding photo sessions all day to raise money for the people of Haiti. If you would like your family, child, selves photographed at a great location (The Guthrie in Minneapolis) for a great cause (the people who have been affected by the earthquake in Haiti), give us a call!
We will be booking 45 minute sessions throughout the day, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Sessions begin at the top of each hour.
All proceeds from the session fees and print sales will go directly to World Vision International (http://www.worldvision.org/).

So, we’re finally getting back into blogging mode. Getting to know our little one and getting used to being a family of 5 has been so great. We’ve taken some time to do that, with a few photo sessions here and there. We appreciate all of your patience and support as we’ve made this transition and your continuing support as we get back into the swing of things!
We put together a few of our favorite photos from sessions we’ve done since our blogging hiatus. This post is a range of baby, family, engagement and kid sessions.
Happy 2010!
I photographed Diana at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. It was a lovely day, and we had a lot of fun… Diana has some awesome style; it was fun featuring the boots, scarves and outfits that she brought along!
Brittany’s session was at Como Park and Como Lake in St. Paul. We were really fortunate to have a sunny evening for our session, especially because the days surrounding her shoot were rainy and cold!
I photographed Caitlin at Minnehaha Falls Park in Minneapolis. It was a very chilly and windy day, but she was a trooper and managed to look nice and warm in all of the photos. We were there during some of the best light of the day… it was such a fun session!
We started Weston’s session at Vertical Endeavors in St. Paul. Weston is an avid rock climber, and it was so fun to capture him in action! After that we headed to an underpass in St. Paul as well as Mears Park. This was a really fun session… he has such a great sense of humor!
It was fun exploring the city of St. Paul with Alex and his mom… we came across some great spots with awesome character. Alex also plays soccer, so after downtown St. Paul we headed over to a soccer field to catch some shots there as well.
Bethany’s session was at the Dodge Nature Center in West St. Paul as well as a cool old barn her mom found for us to photograph at. It was awesome chatting about photography with Bethany… I definitely had a lot of fun with her session!
