Congratulations Carrie & David!

Carrie and David got married last Saturday, and I was more than happy to photograph their happy event! I had photographed some of their friend's weddings a few years prior, so it was nice to be able to see them again.
Carrie and David's winter wedding took place in a beautiful 100 year old church in St. Paul. It was beautiful inside and out! Since this was a winter wedding, we of course had to get some photos outside in the snow. Luckily the weather wasn't too bad.
It was a wonderful day for them, and I was glad that I got to share it with them, as well as capture some beautiful moments. Here are a couple of my favorite images...

Long Time...

Hello all, yes, it has been a LONG time since I blogged. Of course, Christmas for a photographer is one of our busiest times, so I haven't had the chance to blog anything.
Things are a bit slower, for now. Until wedding season! But, I was going to share that I will be teaching a community education class through the Centennial school district in February. The class is called, "How To Take Better Pictures". The class will focus on how to take better pictures of your family and children. It is a beginner class, so it doesn't matter what type of camera you have, or your experience in photography. We'll just focus on things like composition and lighting. There are still a few opening for the class if anyone is interested.
So, now that things have slowed, I though I would share some of my favorite images from the last couple of months. There's quite an array of images.
Enjoy!

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...
