As anyone that follows my work knows…I don’t shoot that many families a year anymore. I have sort of gravitated to shooting more 1:1 shoots. But, this adorable family is just one of those that I always have fun with and they make it so easy on me. I wish the weather would have been...
off the top of my head i had done photos for the V family two other times, so this is our third time together! We did photos once outside when I was in the architectural antique building in ne mpls and last year they met me at Riverplace. Yesterday it was so crappy out, we...
Just a quick good morning to all of you that read my blog…to let you know that i am back home and back to work! I will be catching up this whole weekend-returning all calls, emails and approving orders:) I had a fabulous time at the Barcelo in Ixtapa with my family. As many of...
sometimes it is what it is…perfectly imperfect. we ventured to dassel yesterday to see my dad and his wife, verna. he is in his early 80′s and is not doing the best. he has myastheniusgravidus, and diabetes and depressed due to all of his medical symptoms. i took some groceries again…as verna tends to him...
last weekend was sadies, allie’s first school dance:) it was an evening event and she invited dominic to attend the dance with her. i took this picture inside dom’s house, on automatic with my canon 5d mark II and my 50 mm 1.4 lens. crappy light…crappy light. and this is what i did to it...
i would love to book some winter mini shoots, perfect for kid/small family, senior, boudoir or head shot. i have the studio booked from 10-2 on 2/20 (presidents day so kids are off of school). $295 includes 45 minute shoot time and the best 10-12 custom edited in a private gallery/cd. no prints. this is...
one of the negatives of being in the business is that i never find/make the time to edit my own photos. and i take less photos of my own kids/family. recently my dad has been not doing the best and i honestly freaked out a bit last week and pulled out old photos to look...

Hello to all of you out there today taking a peek at my blog! My weekend project is working on personal images and I will be honest and say that this is the first time I have really been able to do this since last June and it feels good! I have gotten a few...
I have spent a few hours today trying to decide what i am going to do for our holiday card. it is such a big decision when you are in the photography business. this year i feel sort of blah about it all…my great friend, robin, has designed my holiday cards the past few years...
it has been one heck of a crazy week over here and i plugged away at their edits between everything else this week:) i love repeat clients…i did tyler’s senior pics last year and also the whole family last fall for their holiday cards! here are just a few of my favorites from their time...
get ready…a repeat family next…the C kiddos:) and here is just one of them…miss A and i honestly didn’t know if i’d get to any of their images yet tonight, but here is one. i don’t think her mom would care me sharing that she frantically rang me at 5:30 tonight and she left her...
Here are some of my favorites from the M family shoot near my studio. I love when a client comes with a few ideas of their own and I just heard from Tami that she loves the shot of their walking down the alley the best:) It was her request and I am glad that...

as many of you know that follow my blog on a regular basis…i love walls, texture, color and shoot mainly outside/on location. i just took over my new studio october 1 and the walls and the floors are painted white. i am thrilled to have another look:) i took this shot last weekend at 4:40...
i will be honest and say that a shoot with 4 kids is never easy. and this shoot was not easy either. but, i don’t think i have ever laughed as much while editing in my whole photography career. these images are the real deal…very candid and i am proud of it:) one of my...
C told me that he wasn’t going to smile…and he wasn’t kidding:) his mom has already emailed me once joking on how i was going to have to photoshop a smile onto his face! this sneak peek is for her…if she’s watching:) i will be working on their edits next! i think he’s awfully handsome…don’t...
as i said previously, these three kiddos live across the street from me and i adore them and their parents. i take them out alone every year…and it is always a busy time, but we get it done. this time around we used a farm site near our neighborhood so it was quick and easy,...
