Genevieve — Newborn

I just love newborns with hair, and little Genevieve has a lot of it! She was so sweet and wonderful to photograph… you can tell how very much she loves being cuddled up to her mommy and daddy. Such a darling!

Congrats, guys! What a lovely little girl!

Eric and Dee — Wedding

Eric and Dee were a fun couple to photograph. We started in the West Side of St. Paul at the Wellstone Center, photographing around El Burrito Mercado and the surrounding neighborhood. The vibrant colors and murals were a great backdrop for the photos. After that we headed to Harriet Island where the ceremony and reception were held. It was a beautiful day with a big (but short!) storm in the mix.

Congratulations, Eric and Dee! It was so much fun spending the day with you!

Jamie — 2011 Senior

We came into Jamie’s session with a lot of exciting plans. She has a horse named Buddy that she’s been riding for years, so we were able to photograph her with him– we even took some photos of her applying purple paint to Buddy. So fun. We also went  deep into the woods, braving mosquitoes and poison ivy to photograph her with a chandelier hanging from a tree. She was up for anything… such a great session!

Tara and Ryan — Wedding

Tara and Ryan’s wedding was awesome! Every detail was so well planned– from the beautiful ceremony at The Church of St. Michael in Prior Lake, down to a rocking reception held at Brackett’s Crossing Country Club in Lakeville. One of our favorite parts of the event was witnessing Tara and Ryan’s sense of humor… we saw it all throughout the day. They’re just the kind of people that after spending the day with them you realize you’ve been smiling all day and your cheeks hurt.

Devin — 2011 Edina High School Senior

I photographed Devin near the Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. It was a really fun session, Devin was very laid back and a natural in front of the camera. And I always love going to new locations… you never know where the road might take you. We ended up driving around the lakes, stopping when I’d see a great place to shoot. Great fun!

Tyler — 1 year old

Tyler is one of the most smiley babies I’ve ever met… he was just so sweet to photograph. His mom had the great idea of having me photograph him demolishing a cake and he dove right into it, which made for some really fun photos!

Justine — 1.5 years old

I had a lot of fun trying out new ideas during this session… It was a perfect day with awesome light and a smiling little girl. Doesn’t get better than that!

Christina and Jason, you have quite the little model on your hands!

Veronica — Newborn

Veronica was the sweetest little thing! She slept so well, we were able to do some really fun shots. I’m really looking forward to photographing her throughout her first year!

Congrats, you guys… she’s beautiful!

LeVahn Family

I photographed the LeVahn family in their backyard in Maple Grove. It was especially fun photographing their 3 kids, because they’re almost the exact ages of our own 3 kids, and the similarities in their personalities were neat to see.

Such a beautiful family!

Sam and Adam — Wedding

We had another rainy day for Sam and Adam’s wedding held at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. These guys were so awesome braving the wet weather with umbrellas (and a smile!). The chapel on campus was gorgeous! Their reception (at the Royal Cliff Banquet Center in Eagan) was also a lot of fun. It’s always great to see a couple deeply in love… we’re so happy for these two!
