Happy birthday to my wonderful husband…friend, lover, business partner, strength and soul mate. May the next year bring you wonders in life that are more desirable than chocolate cake!
birthday wishes…
Brian and Kailyn – engaged!
We began the session at the home that Brian and Kailyn recently purchased. It’s such a beautiful old home with wonderful character.
While we were inside we took a few with Riley, their not so small puppy!
After a few at their home, we went to Rice Park in St. Paul. 
We decided we needed a few pictures with Riley being Riley! At the end of the session, back at their home, we took Riley out for some play time! He was so excited to be out and running!
Thanks Brian and Kailyn! We look forward to your wedding in June!
Seth and Laura – engaged!
Saturday afternoon we met up with Seth and Laura down by the stone arch bridge for their engagement session. I love to see couples who are in love and love to have fun and laugh together! Laura and Seth were a delight to photograph! We were very lucky to have temps in the 20s and almost no wind…it made being outside so much easier! Here’s the lovely couple!
Laura’s jacket is oh so wonderful – I wish I had one like it, but I think I have enough coats as it is!
It was even warm enough to find a few puddles of liquid water (as opposed to the frozen water that is quite ubiquitous these days). I love reflections!
We went inside at the end of the session to do a few without coats. Inside we found this fabulous old elevator! 
Thank you Laura and Seth, we look forward to your wedding day!

Hoar frost
Hoar frost: a deposit of ice crystals upon objects that have been chilled below freezing point by radiation cooling. We have had a lot of this thick, amazing and beautiful frost this winter and we finally made it outside to capture a few pictures of it! Enjoy!
February 15, 2010 - 6:34 pm - Lovely! I especially like the second picture.
Life: filled and overflowing
I think this is one of those posts you are supposed to do around Thanksgiving…but who says you have to limit your thankfulness to a particular season! Looking back over the last year, Alan and I have a ton to be thankful for.
We have been blessed with amazing friends and family who have been so supportive through our years of working way too much and spending way too little time with them.Thank you, we love each and every one of you!
We have been blessed by the wonderful people we have met through our photography. We have had the opportunity to get to know so many people and hear so many stories. I love stories, I love being able to catch a glimpse into other people’s stories and help them tell their own stories through the pictures we take. Our clients have inspired me again and again through their stories, their lives and kindness!
Our business has been growing like crazy and we are so thankful to those of you who have been instrumental in that growth. Whether you have done work for us, been a teacher for us, or have been a sounding board as we work though ideas…we are thankful to you for the role you have played. Many of you know that I have been full time with our photography biz for a year and a half. Beginning in April, Alan will officially move into a full time role with our photography as well! Not only will he photograph everything with me, he will get to help with all the other organization and running of this business of ours.
We are still in shock and awe that we have already met our goal of booking 30 weddings for the 2010 calendar year. We still have a few dates late fall and early winter that are open for booking, but we are now jumping in to booking for 2011!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are so excited to see what lays ahead on this path of life.
