Mae visited my St Paul studio last week for her newborn photo session. I tried a different set than in the past and really liked the feel, rustic, earthy. She was a great sport, adorable and pretty sleepy. These were my top favorites.

For the 4th of July weekend, I visited my friend ‘s lake home in Turtle Lake, WI. I’ve been going up there for nearly 30 years and I’ve taken tons of picture over that time. This weekend I went more impressionistic. These American flags along the roadside caught my eye. The sunset was glorious as […]

When Victoria called to talk about her ideas for her senior portrait session, she wanted to go downtown St. Paul but didn’t want the really urban look, she still wanted the background to be pretty. So I suggested one of my favorite places, Mears Park and the downtown library for its strong clean architecture. Both […]

In December I started volunteering at St. Paul’s Neighborhood House as a co-teacher of English language to adult immigrants and refugees. As I have gotten to know this non-profit, I have also started donating my photography services for events, promotional brochures and newsletters. This has allowed me to see the greater extent of the truly […]

Benjamin, an adorable seven month old baby boy, came over to my studio a few weeks ago for his professional photo session. His parents were worried about him smiling, which is to be expected. With little ones, timing and preparedness really is everything because sometimes those smiles are few and far between but you wouldn’t […]

We photographed him inside, outside, with his dog, his car and on the trampoline where he’s probably spent endless hours. We […]
