Peggy & Tim - aka My Mom & Dad :) - Twin Cities Photographer

This shoot was my first venture to the historic downtown Elk River area in I don't know how long. I worked at Kemper Drug for a few years when I was in High School and really what a change! I think this spot is super cute and they're are so many fun little nooks and crannies. Check out Bryan's Senior photoshoot a few post previous for other shots around this spot.

I had some extra time one weekend and requested my parents for shoot at this spot. My mom said "Sure" for both her and my dad, with out consulting him of course:) and away we went! It's shoots like this that make me so happy that I get to do shoots "just because".

My mom said to me once "As parents there are some things that we'll do for our kids, just because they're our kids and we love them". This was in reference to her and my dad taking Juliana to a Big Cat Rescue when they were in Florida. So, maybe that's why they did this photoshoot or maybe my dad really LOVES having photos taken {(insert sarcasm;)]. I'm going to go with because they love me:). And after everything was said and done I'm so proud to have the parents I do, and the parents who always have any always will do anything for me:) Love you guys!

Sarah+Lucas' Wedding - Minnesota Wedding Photographer

Sarah and Lucas got married on a beautiful, well for end of November, day at the Little Mountain Chapel in Monticello, MN. Sarah has been a good friend of my sister Ashley's for as long as I can remember and Lucas and I went to High School together and know what it's like to have a little too much fun:).

Before every wedding I get a little excited and anxious about how the day will go and to be 100% honest Sarah and Lucas' day was pretty much near perfect. The bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome, Lucas' daughter and Sarah's new step daughter was as cute as could be and their families were wonderful.

The reception was held at Carousel Works in Big Lake, MN. The personal attendants and some of the bridesmaids were nice enough to gift some additional shoot time at the reception so we could capture some dancin' up moments and I'm soooo glad they did!

Congrats Sarah and Lucas!

Baking Cookies @ the Ferguson House - Minneapolis Photographer

Baking and Christmas cookies just make me feel at ease during the hustle of the holiday season. I think I might even enjoy it more when more skillful people are doing the baking. So, here we have a chef and an artist making cookies. Somehow there still ends up to be an "ameba" and a "barf" cookie but hey, that's what happens when two silly friends make cookies together :)

Bryan Class of 2010 - Minnesota Senior Photographer

Bryan had his senior photo session on a chilly Thanksgiving day in Downtown Elk River. His sister, Kelly, was nice enough to tag along and even had a fleece blanket to bundle him up with while we were walking around. Now, that's love! Despite the cold we managed to have a rockin' shoot!
