My nephew Rudy loves sports, especially football. This was his last game of the season. My brother-in-law coaches and is apparently a highly sought after coach because he does such a great job with the kids. Unfortunately, the team lost but like the Vikes, there is always next season.

My family boasts many creative people. One of them is my niece Grace. She has followed in my mother’s footsteps and is becoming a great harpist. I try to attend her recitals throughout the year and love watching her grow into a confident and gifted musician. These images were taken at an honor recital at […]

This year at the fair was great — totally my style. Arrive late (4pm vs. 8am), eat food, ride rides. Each year I bring my camera and since I went with a friend (instead of my mom), I photographed the rides (instead of the animals). These were my favorite images from an evening on the […]

Some may know this but I am an avid bicyclist and all around “green” environmentally-oriented person and have been for many years. I ride all over town — to Minneapolis from West St Paul and back, to the bank or post office for small errands, etc. So I decided to volunteer for St. Paul Smart […]

This weekend I went up north with my friend Katy and her dog Cosmo. Katy is a quintessential dog mom. We were planning on canoeing so she bought Cosmo a life jacket. As it turned out, the life jacket beefed up his toy poodle body and she felt better about him looking less like an […]

My Dad is selling his fabulous lake home on pristine Lake Wabana a few miles north of Grand Rapids, MN. Fortunately for me its not selling. I love going up there. Its so northern Minnesota — quiet, clean, gorgeous. I secretly hope it doesn’t ever sell although I’m sure it will, its beautiful. These are […]

On Saturday the Berman family came over to have two-year-and-one-week old Calleigh photographed. This age is one of my absolute favorites to doucment and not because its easy. Toddlers, Calleigh included, do not sit still for more than 10 seconds and they will not look at the camera — but for fleeting moments. Everything is […]

Kara Wagner and Jason Lundrigan had a beautiful spring wedding on May 1, 2009. The reception at the Varsity Club was amazing and was my first wedding event there. En route to the Varsity Club, the limo stopped at the Stone Arch bridge in Minneapolis and Nye’s Polonaise Room — both were great wedding day […]

My photography career started with my sister’s trip to Russia. I was a supportive but jealous seventh grader. She was going to be a “student ambassador” representing the United States and traveling beyond the former “iron curtain.” That seemed really cool. I decided that when my chance came, I too would travel abroad. After she […]

The day started with brunch at Cassie and Rich’s house. We mixed up ingredients for omelets in freezer bags then boiled them for 13 minutes — it was surprisingly good. Eventually we walked over the Wabasha Bridge to watch the parade. A few of us were bold and joined the parade at the very end […]
