Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm a photographer based out of the Twin Cities. I love photographing storybook portraits of families, children and weddings. When I'm not running around with my camera you'll find me shopping at the MOA, snuggling up with my kitty Dr. Vee or out and about enjoying the wonderful area that we live in!

Sir Von Willis' first photo shoot

Over the weekend Facebook told me that Steph got a cat. WHAT?! Steph got a cat?

This was confirmed Sunday night when Steph told me she indeed, did adopt a tabby tiger striped cat named Willis. I inquired if Willis would want to do a photo shoot and he surly did.

Juliana and I went over to Steph's posh Uptown apartment last night and let me tell you this little guy is fast, likes to eat fuzz and has a fierce MEOW!

Sneak Peek - The Andreasen Family

Sunday afternoon we had another shoot, this time with the Andreasen family. Ashley assisted me with this shoot at Otsego Park. First of all, if there were any days this fall to book 2 shoots in the same day this was the day. It was so beautiful outside! Second, the Andreasen's need to give out tips to all my future adult family clients (including my own!). They showed up, took care of business and were able to enjoy the rest of the day at the park. You guys were a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy your holidays and weddings to come:)



Sneak Peek - The Anderson Family

Early this morning I headed over to the Anderson's house to take their family portraits. I was excited when Anne called me and asked me to come over this year because we had loads of fun last year at their session. This morning the boys had a ton of energy. I'll tell ya, these boys really kept me on my toes! We were all over their yard and even riding 4-wheelers. I don't know how you do it Scott and Anne:) I hope you guys have a great Christmas!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween to everyone! Doctor Vee likes to dress up every year. Last year she was a witch, the year before dracula. Well, this year has probably been her least favorite costume yet, a pig. She really didn't enjoy her photo shoot too much either, but alas she managed to pull out a cute pic without looking too crabby.

Norma Jean @ Station 4

Whew, another show at Station 4 in St. Paul and this was a good one. I dragged Jul with me to go see Norma Jean on Wednesday. In my younger days this kind of thing would have been so routine for me, not so much anymore. That being said, I do miss it a bit. I really never realized how sweaty these guys can get. Yikes!!

Horrorpops @ Station 4

Last night I stepped outside my "bubble" a bit and went to check out the Horrorpops at Station 4 per the invite from Juliana. These types of shows are always an interesting crowd the rockabillysters always get my vote for great style. The show was good and I enjoyed myself. I even got to give 1.8 a little more action =)

My new 50mm 1.8 lens arrived to day (thanks Mom and Dad!). I took a little stroll down Park Ave after I got home from work and had a little fun with it.

Doctor Vee - Worlds Best Cat

I had a photoshoot with Dr. Vee today. She slept most of the time and tried to bite me when I woke her up, but she was so super cute as usual!

Just Because Shoot with Aly

Aly is my BFF and this past weekend I had planed a "surprise" photo shoot for her. I also must mention that Aly is a PBR girl. Ever since I've known her she's been the girl with a PBR in the bar and soon everyone else follows. She's kind of a big deal. To make a very upsetting story short, there was a PBR mural on Lyndale and it got moved to the Bulldog and is unreachable by humans. Bummer for sure. So my surprise photoshoot was not looking so great, but we Aly totally rocked it just down the street at the Intermedia Arts Center.
