okay, i am going to do lots of blabbering tonight…but i warned you first so you can leave my blog if you want:) today i prepared my son for his first real funeral. and it brought flash backs to my mom’s funeral in 1995 as i knew that today’s funeral for john greiber was going...
i saw a post on megan cristello’s blog last winter and she had a fun family “styled” in brown, orange, chartreuse, and white with limes and oranges. i thought to myself “that looks like a fun, awesome shoot”. soooo, i propositioned both of my mini families a bit and they both agreed to come in...
logan’s team took second place in their baseball tournament in belle plaine this weekend! go spartans:) i took a typical team photo, but here is a silly one of the boys. logan is second on the left in the pile:) the boys proudly wore JG on their sleeves in memory of john greiber.
kelly is on a mission trip this week and i actually got up yesterday morning before 5 am and finished her edits before noon…yippee! i am waiting to do the full blown post as she does not have internet access this week and i am going to wait to post until she’s back:) however, i...
todd and i met up with robin/scott last night, we met at jax in northeast mpls. we wanted to try something new and robin was kind enough to make the reservation earlier in the week. we always enjoy when we get together with these two as they are a lot like the two of us,...
kelly is a high school senior from orono…we planned to do her shoot earlier this week but played it by ear and kept moving the date back due to the nasty weather. she is an early riser so instead of an evening shoot we ventured out yesterday morning. we had a gorgeous morning together, i...
here is a full blown lauren post…we had such a fun night on the town…the evening started out a bit windy but by the end of the evening it was perfect! she is my first senior from out of state, and she came from many states away!!!! gorgeous porcelain skin and beautiful eyes…i think you...
for those of you that read my blog on a regular basis…you might remember me doing a long post about the G family, their dad/husband was battling throat cancer-and i shared 3 images from their family shoot with me. well, john passed away late tuesday night and his funeral is monday? ( i just heard...
matt/heritage christian academy 2012 **we did all of matt’s images in minneapolis…i had a list of masculine walls/locations in mind prior to his shoot:) here is just a sampling of some of my favorites from his gallery! matt was my first boy of this season and he couldn’t have been more cooperative:) i think he...
good morning to all of you:) i am up early so i can get something done today. the weather doesn’t look like it’s going to cooperate AGAIN for me. this stinks:) my shoot last night cancelled/rescheduled…and looks like today’s might be cancelled/rescheduled. yikes! ***6 senior inquiries came in alone yesterday alone…absolutely crazy good! who would...
i have had 5 high school senior requests/inquiries today and today is not over yet. i don’t think i’ve ever had 5 in one day before. seniors 2012 please book now if you plan on booking with me…i am going to do my best to get everyone on my books, but then start referring out...
I will begin this post by stating that i have a handful of good friends, a handful who i could truly count on, rely on, and know who would be there when/if i really needed them…and matt’s mom is one of them! she listens to me both on my good days and my bad without...
As those that follow my work know…my mind is always a brewing! And if you read my previous post you know that i am really hoping to get my boudoir business up and running more this winter. I thought i’d just throw it out to my blog readers that if any of you have any...
The hardest part of the business for me is saying “no” to people. the absolute hardest part. when i get calls from people and they cannot afford me my heart just wants to give in and do it for free, or offer them some sort of deal. i want to shoot everyone when they want…but...
As i have previously stated, i promised my senior reps 2-2 hour shoots with me for being a rep for me at a reduced price and i also pay them $25 cash for each senior that they refer my way who books and completes a senior package with me:) but…my stipulation was they go early...
good morning! i woke up early and have already started to be productive for the day…i do enjoy a quiet house while my family is still sleeping:) i just did a facebook post/senior tip of the day stating to bring at least once piece of clothing in black to your shoot, i honestly do love...
what can i say…i had so darn much fun with laura on both of her shoots and i hope that fun comes screaming through to all of my blog readers. she is full of personality and oh, so photogenic. her eyes, her coloring and her hair make up a phenomenal combination! laura is going places…i...
i will be adding one more kid/small family mini shoot date for late october/early november…and that is all that i plan on adding to my schedule for 2011. after those are full i will be referring you out to other photographers so be on the lookout for that date as it will be first come,...
here is just a sneak peek of jenna/orono senior rep 2012. she is my third senior rep for orono and what i love is that each senior rep from orono has such a distinct personality and look to them, so different from each other! one thing about jenna…please take note of all of her jewelry...
this whole week i have had such a foggy brain-head cold which has turned into a sore throat. i don’t have time for any of this between work and all of the kid crap:) LOL i haven’t been sleeping well either and i’m not sure what is up with that?!?!? anyways…i really am struggling to...
yesterday was just one of those typical crazy summer days where i honestly didn’t get much work done with my kids home…i am adjusting to them home slowly. last summer i found that the only thing that worked for me was getting up at 5 am or 6 am to edit until they woke up...
you might be saying to yourself, “this girl looks familiar”…this is laura, one of my senior reps from orono 2012 and this is a sneak peek of our second night together! a perk of being a rep with me this year is that i promised each of the girls 2-two hour shoots with me, not...
yesterday i grabbed my camera bag real quick, we were already late…and don’t go there, it was earlier than allie wanted to get up and shower:)…i woke up with a sore throat…and a foggy brain head cold, etc LOL anyways, i will be honest and say that i often don’t take my camera as then...
i honestly love feet shots…either barefoot or with fun boots or shoes. converse high tops, heels, bitchin boots…yum! i also love urban shoots…and i love body language. put these together and you get something like this, i would blow this up in my house. just saying:) i funked this up quite a bit to make...
