The Wilson Family recently called to schedule what I should probably start calling “the photographer’s favorite” photo shoot. This is where I come out to your home and we start there, usually photographing the kids in their bedrooms, then family shots in and around your home and finish at a local park for a mix […]

The blankets really customized her session and because they are in her infant portraits, will always be remembered as a part of her […]

Little Royal had has second photo shoot at just over three months old and was in varying moods. This is common with babies, toddlers, kids, high school seniors, adults and retirees. Really, people are not always glowing with happiness, it comes and goes, that’s why I shoot for personality. You come away with a more […]

Anna and Steve are getting married mid-July. Because their wedding will be very natural they wanted to have a more urban engagement session. I thought immediately of the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis. It offers a little bit of everything — the downtown cityscape, multiple cool urban buildings and of course, nature.

At first I was primarily concerned with navigating the traffic and meeting up with my family on time. Upon arriving, the visuals were so amazing – the range of people, the matching and colorful outfits, custom posters, […]
