I had a great time seeing all the crazy puppy costumes on Halloween.  Here are a couple of photos from the Wag-o-Ween party held at Totally Kids down in Bloomington, MN.  Makes me want a puppy just seeing all these batty cute dogs and their cool costumes.  I mean- check out that shark!

I just love puppy costumes!

We met up with Mitch and Megan approximately two weekends ago to do their engagement photos at Minnehaha park in Minneapolis, MN.  We couldn’t have asked for better weather for October.  I loved getting to know them better and am really looking forward to their upcoming wedding in April next year.

I don’t know if I could find a cuter couple- so happy to be around each other and they give each other the most joyous looks.  I always feel honored to get to know the people I do through photography.  Mitch and Megan are a wonderful pair of people with amazing personalities that I could see lighting up a room the moment they arrive.
Please enjoy a select out take of photos from their engagement session as well as their slide show.

Well as you might guess I am a bit behind on posting to my blog- expect some backlogged blogging for the next couple weeks until I catch up!

People always amaze me with their strength of character and their vibrancy of life.  Photography gives me so many chances to meet these amazing individuals and get a glimpse into who they are and their lives.  I love photographing seniors- their lives are changing so much over the next year with plans solidifying for after high school.  For myself it was a year where my friends and I got the pangs of “senioritist” but loved most days of it even as we complained.  It isn’t so much the classes I had-  but it was the days with my friends, teachers, and family.  I hope all the seniors I photograph have such an excellent final year- I wish them to have the best of times with friends and a successful school year.

Brittany is a wonderful young lady from the Twin Ciites who is going to graduate in 2010.  She has an amazing spirit with a bright and vibrant personality that adversary can’t hold back.  She truly awes me and I will look forward to keeping in contact as she goes through the school year.  I am sure she will succeed at whatever she sets her sights on.

She was a blast to photograph and, just so you know, she has the most amazing shoes ever! :)

I had the great pleasure to be photographing Kat and Alex’s wedding on the 21st of August.  The wedding was held in the city of Henley-in-Arden which is located in the UK near Birmingham.  All the little details they planned made this wedding an absolute treat- and a yummy one at that.

You couldn’t have asked for better weather!

Trying a different format to show off the photos. Please enjoy. :)

We had a great time out at Como Lake in St. Paul to finish up Marta’s Senior portraits! The weather was perfect and her siblings came along for moral support (or so we are going to say ;)

I also got to met the new addition to their family – Luna – a totally precious 2 month old Shih Tzu. So adorable!
