More TTD from last month

Ok, you're probably getting sick of these TTD sessions. Actually, this is from the same one as last time. I've just finally gotten around to getting to the rest of them. I also just got some super cool actions that I wanted to play with too. They are very contemporary. I promise it will be my last post about that TTD session!

Trash the Dress Video

Michelle and her husband Trent made a video of the TTD session we did a few weeks ago. (My last blog). Take a look, it's super cool!

It was so much fun! I really can't wait to do it again. Anyone interested in either being our model, or joining our team of photographers? Just let us know!

Trashing The Dress... Again!

Hello all, it has been quite awhile since I have been able to create a new blog. It's fall, which means ALOT of people want outdoor fall photos. So, I've been really busy photographing and editing all of these photos. But, I had to stop and join my friend Michelle Huber for our first photographer's workshop. We had a beautiful model in her wedding dress, with 5 photographers all photographing her at the same time! It was awesome! We were in Prescott, WI at Michelle's farm. It was great... corn fields, trees, barns and an old car. You MUST see some of these photos, there beautiful!! Anyone else interested in Trashing Your Dress???

New Products!

With the Holiday season fast approaching, I've decided to take on a couple more products which will be great for Holiday gifts. The first one is called Heritage Makers Books. These are great books that you can design yourself, or just drag and drop your own photos onto their computer program. Then, in about a week or two, you receive your very own book. I created my first book for my two daughters. I showed my family and friends, and everyone who sees it wants to make one for themselves.
To promote these new books, I'm offering a free 5x5 brag book for anyone who books their holiday session before October 30th. Just call or email me for more information or to book your portrait session. To view the Heritage Makers website, go to www.heritagemakers.com

Ok, so my next product is one of my favorites! It's Gina Alexander Photo purses! I am so excited about these purses! Not only are they so cool, but celebrities are also lined up to get these! I just sent in my first design for my purse, and I can't wait to receive it!
To promote these purses, I'm offering $15 off the purchase of a purse when you book your portrait session before October 30th.
Please note that sessions are already booking for the holiday season, and to receive your products before the holidays, you need to purchase them by November 30th. www.ginaalexander.com

Come to the studio to see each product in person.

Ciera's Grad Photos

Wow, Ciera is such a beautiful girl, and such a natural at posing for photos. I had so much fun taking her senior photos. We took almost 100! She even got into the water for me. Brave girl! Take a peek at some of my favorites...

Trash The Dress

Ok, for those who don't know what I'm talking about, let me explain. A photographer started this trend, where after your wedding day, you go out with a photographer and take creative, fun, and artsy photos with your wedding dress on. It's really fun! And I think Heather and Adam had fun too as we ventured out Sunday afternoon to three different locations for our trash-the-dress shoot. They were very brave as they entered the cool murky water, but they great, and the photos turned out awesome!! Take a peek at a couple we took.

Enjoy the photos!

60th Wedding Aniversary

How amazing to be married for 60 years! I had the great fortune of photographing some pictures of this long-time married couple at Gloria Dei Church in St. Paul, on Sunday. They were married at the very same church 60 years ago. I took pictures of them infront of the altar where they were married. I'm honored to be apart of their celebration!

Little Tenley

Look at this little cutie! Tenley is 6 months old and such a doll! It didn't seem like she was in the mood for pictures today, but we did get some really cute ones! Check out the picture with the parent's legs. You can't tell, but she was fussing the whole time. Don't worry Tenley, the photo sessions get easier as you grow up!

Teresa & Andy

I had the pleasure of taking Teresa and Andy's engagement photos this week in Chaska. We took the photos where their reception site will be for their wedding in September. A very beautiful woodsy feel. Take a peek at some of the fun pics we got! Can't wait until until the wedding!

Sweet Baby Boys

I just had to post this photo of these sweet little boys. Aidan & Ethan, still just over 5 lbs each. Aren't they just adorable! They were born on July 4th, weighing just over 3 lbs each, and have finally come home from the hospital. I'm honored to have taken their first professional portraits!

Second Wedding Gallery

I've added a second wedding gallery. (As if I don't have enough photos on there already.) The new gallery has wedding photos that I've taken this summer. I get so excited about my pictures, that I just have to keep adding more every time I shoot.
Enjoy the pics!

First time blogger!

Well, I figure everyone else is doing it, so I thought I'd try it too. I'll try to use this to feature fun new photos taken during the weeks. Right now is wedding season, so that's about all I've been doing lately. I had one Friday, and one Saturday! Both were really fun, and had great locations! I've already peeked at the pictures and they're looking great! Here is a photo from each wedding I had this weekend.
