I had the opportunity to photograph a new clothing line for Hannah, a young and fiercly talented fashion designer, a few weeks ago and I’m still smiling thinking back on the fun we had. Hannah has an infectious smile and bubbly personality which definitely influenced the shoot from beginning to end. Thanks again Hannah for trusting me to capture your vision and I wish you the very best with your upcoming endeavors.
Tyler, a Stillwater High School senior, came to the studio for his senior pictures a few weeks ago marking the official start to my high school senior season. If you’ve had a chance to peek through my blog you probably already know that this is something I look forward to each and every year. I love the opportunity I have to connect with high school students at such an exciting time in their lives. Tyler has big plans after high school and I have no doubt he will succeed in everything he does. Best wishes to you, Tyler!
I’ve met quite a few babies in my lifetime but I’m not sure I’ve ever met one who is as smiley as this little man. He was all smiles when I first met him a few months ago and this time was no different. It seemed that every time I picked up my camera he smiled even when he was sleeping. What a ham, eh?! And you simply HAVE to see the Christening gown his mom made…it is truly a work of art. His bedroom is still under construction but I have to tell you that I cannot wait to see the room completed! Such a lucky little boy!
Recently I had the opportunity to collaborate with Lisa, owner of La Rue Marche, on an upcoming project. We decided to capture some promotional shots “just in case” and oh, what fun we had! Not only is Lisa incredibly talented with fashion styling and store design, but she is beautiful to boot. If you are in the Twin Cities area or plan to visit the area and love all things “fashion”…you simply have to make the trip to her store.
One of the best things about my job is the opportunity I have to work with people from around the country and the world for that matter. I love hearing about my clients’ life experiences and what brought them to where they are today. This particular session took place in what is quickly becoming my favorite little neighborhood in Minneapolis. I walked in and got right to work photographing adorable little Jack (who is quite fond of books might I add). At one point during the session Jack’s mom and I started chatting about how we ended up in the Twin Cities area. She mentioned she was from a small town in Iowa but moved north to attend school. When I asked where she was from in Iowa, she responded with “Sioux City, it’s a little town in the corner of…”. I had to cut her off because you see…that is where I grew up. Neither of us could believe it! Sioux City isn’t “tiny” but it’s certainly not a big city and it’s a rare occassion when one just bumps into someone from Sioux City. Although we didn’t go to the same high school I have no doubt our paths must have crossed at some point when we were growing up. What a small world, eh?!
