I went back home a few weeks ago, only to see a few of my favorite people!
Who doesn't love an impromptu portrait session in the rain? World, meet my friend Erin. I actually didn't really have a conversation with this kid until this night. We never really spoke in high school, so while drinking beer at the county fair, I was like....WHY are we not friends? Erin is good shit. I mean, he is one of those guys that is hilarious, fun and full of life! And ladies, in real life, he totally looks like Ryan Reynolds! Uh huh, you know what I'm talking about!
Then below we have the Bielefeldt brothers. These two have been my best friends for years and years and I just love them to bits! They have always been there for me, support me in everything I do and are huge fans, but keep it real for me, for sure.
You may recognize Shawn from his previous shoot with me, yeah, he's kind of a big deal!

A few weeks ago, an incredibly awesome person lent me a film camera, that is absolutely amazing by the way, and I totally became re-inspired to photograph some things on 'my list'. I also inspired some spontaneous shoots too! Film photos fire me up because of their authenticity. It is SO real and lovely and it constantly reminds me of why I am a photographer.
The imperfection is what makes it beautiful to me.
I've been meaning to photograph my 90 year old grandmother for a long time. 90 years old. What does that look like? 90 years old. What do you do? 90 years old. What makes you happy?
I can say that at 90 years old, Grandma, as she is known to everyone, is quite the woman. Her favorite past time is entertaining, chatting and playing board games. Taking her photograph was so much fun, because it was definitely the highlight of her day, but it was more than that. It was an opportunity to really document an amazing woman.

These are priceless. The way she's looking at you--and looking at everyone in the first shot makes for a timeless portrait. Real. Isn't it great to use your talent for family and friends.

My goal each year is to get our weddings published in as many magazines and blogs as possible! Honestly, it is for no other desire than my own satisfaction. My first job as a photographer was for a newspaper, where I was published on a daily basis. It has been the drive for me ever since, both wedding wise and commercially to share my photographs with the world! I love to see the layouts, finished product and the magazines on the shelves - I am always so proud!
I am happy to announce that the amazing Carufel wedding from last fall has been published in Minneapolis / St Paul Weddings!

The world is so small. I am reminded of this daily when I meet people and somehow our circles have crossed and all of a sudden my world is open to a whole new realm of fabulous clients! All of my business comes from referrals and word of mouth. I am constantly amazed and grateful for all of the awesome recommendations that my past clients give out! Paige was deciding on whether or not to get maternity photos done when Lisha sent her my website. Done and Done. A few days later, Paige had 2 sessions booked and she was so excited!
It was a true pleasure to photograph Paige and her husband Wyatt (who for those hockey fans, watch for Wyatt's debut in Pittsburgh - he just signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins! ). This is such a special time in their lives and these two are SO excited to meet their little girl!

And now for my favorite - the studio session!
Congratulations to Paige and Wyatt! I can't wait to meet little Ruby in a few weeks!
