Baby Owen

A few weeks ago my friend Brianne and her little boy Owen came over to our house for a morning photo shoot.  I first met Owen when he was just one week old and was mostly concerned about sleeping, eating, and pooping — now this little guy is six months old and a bundle of giggling and drooling — pure JOY!  He was so cute I could hardly stand it.  Jake had so much fun making him laugh and you can see him doing just that in one of the photos below.  Brianne is a lovely mother with such a contagious calmness — which is what I like about her so much (her husband Jarred is awesome too).  Owen is one lucky little guy!  I can’t wait to watch him grow.

Sneak Peek – Owen

I just wrapped up a photo shoot with Owen this morning and it was so much fun!  He is positively adorable — I mean, look at those eyelashes! More to come later.

Healing Haiti with Hearts for Water

Tomorrow night I have the opportunity to photograph a local charity event Healing Haiti with Hearts for Water hosted by SURGE.  My friend Shaina volunteered to photograph and she invited me to shoot with her.  This event sounds awesome — held at the Graves 601 Hotel in Minneapolis with complimentary whisky tastings — doesn’t get any better!  All donations are used to purchase and deliver water purification filters to Haiti.  Sounds like a wonderful event — so if you are in the Minneapolis area tomorrow night definitely come out in your best cocktail attire and enjoy a drink for a great cause!

Dawn & Mike Engagement

On a cold but sunny January afternoon a few weeks ago I met Dawn, Mike, and Guavin at Como Park Zoo and Conservatory for their engagement shoot.  It felt great to be surrounded by so much green in the warm conservatory!  Dawn and Mike are getting married next October (on my birthday!) at The Woods Chapel in Orono, Minnesota — which looks like an absolutely beautiful setting.  I am looking forward to their wedding and celebrating my birthday quietly :) knowing that I am doing something I love!

Kathryn & Matthew

I had the pleasure of shooting as 2nd photographer with my dear friend Paige of DeWees Photography. Paige is a brilliant photographer and it was awesome to work with her again and see her in action!  Both the ceremony and reception were at the Soap Factory in Minneapolis, which I had never been to before.  It was a very cool venue and definitely a place I would like to visit again.  The weather was a perfect September afternoon and the couple was absolutely lovely.  Here are some of my favorites that I took at Kathryn and Matthew’s wedding for DeWees Photography.

Frost-Trahan & Lange Family

A photo shoot with six kids under the age of five is what you would call crazy (in a good way)!  There were some tears, but mostly laughs, and even some small candy bribes. Whatever works to have everyone looking at the camera, at the same time, with a smile on their face, right?!  The kids were adorable and I had such a great time with the Frost-Trahan & Lange families – here are some of my favorite photos.

Kimberly & Chris

Kimberly and Chris got married at the Historic Courthouse in Stillwater, MN, which is a stunning building and location overlooking Stillwater.  I photographed the morning preparations.  Here are some of my favorite photos from the shoot.

Abby & Brock

My cousin Abby got married in North Carolina and I had the honor of spending the entire morning with my three beautiful cousins photographing the morning preparations.  The wedding and reception were at the beautiful Walnut Lane Bed & Breakfast in Pleasant Garden, North Carolina.  Our entire family, except my sister-in-law, was able to make it to the wedding and we had a great time celebrating together as a family!  Abby and Brock are a wonderful couple and so much fun!  They welcomed us with true southern hospitality.
