Here are a few from a recent senior. Doesn't she resemble Jessica Simpson? Maybe it's just me, but I thought she did! Anyway, we went to Willow River state park and photographed her by the waterfalls, and then headed out to downtown Stillwater. The sun had set by the time we got there so we had to be creative with our lighting. I think we got some cool stuff!

I photographed these newborn twins 6 months ago.

They were beautiful, tiny fragile preemies...

Here are the same babies, 6 months later. Look at those cheeks! Amazing the changes a baby can make in just a matter of months. I can't wait to see them next time!

I had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful senior girl's senior portraits last week before the big November freeze set in! She was a lot of fun to work with. About half of them were done in my studio downtown Minneapolis, the other half at a very cool spot downtown called Mill Ruins Park. There are lots of old buildings and weathered looking old style textures there and I think it made for a great backdrop for lots of these photographs.

In the spirit of Halloween, I had to show off my little monkey!

Just wanted to share a few from my sister's family session. Aren't they just a bunch of cuties???

I photographed my sister's family this weekend and brought Nina along to "help". Well, I took advantage of the opportunity to get a few of her too.

Holding uncle Chris' hand...

I was really glad to get the one below. That's Nina, just the way I see her every day. That smile is so HER...

Ok, who taught Nina how to say "cheese"??? It certainly wasn't me!

I don't normally run specials, but I just got a special offer from the company who makes the gallery wrap canvas', so I'm excited to pass it on to you!

For the month of November, if you order a gallery wrap canvas wall portrait 24x30 or larger, you'll get an 11x14 gallery wrap for FREE! Yay! Orders must be placed in the month of November to get the deal.

Ok how exciting is that? Well it is for me! I love canvas wraps and I think everyone should own at least one. It's perfect timing for holiday gift giving too, so you'll get the big one and you can give the other as a gift to grandma, or someone else. Or the other way around if you're feeling generous....

I thought I'd take a moment to talk about an event I had the opportunity to photograph recently. It's called "Memories in the Making" and supports the Alzheimer's Association, http://www.alz.org/ helping to fund research in hopes of finding a cure. My job was to photograph the kids and families at the event. I then posted them online for the families to view and order. Once the orders are complete the proceeds will be donated to Alzheimer's Association. Thanks to Laura Dierke for organizing the event! Here are some of my favorites from that day:
