Floating On A Cloud

I took some really fun engagement photos the other day. I had seen something like this before, and today was the perfect day to try it. I think it really looks like their floating on clouds! (Isn't that how love feels anyway?)

Our Vacation!

Well, my family and I just got back from a much needed 2 week vacation. We went to Tybee Island, south of Savannah, Georgia. It's so beautiful there. It's hotter and stickier than MN, but when you're on the beach you don't even notice the heat.
I took some amazing images of my girls and my nieces in the cutest little tutu skirts on the beach. I just have to share those with everyone. It was so fun! I had people coming up to us, and wanting to take their own photos of the girls on the beach!
Besides playing in the water, we also took a carriage tour through Savannah. I love the history, and took some photos of course of our journey there. We also went to this great cemetary. Remember the movie, "Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil"? That's the cemetary where the movie took place. We also saw the bench that "Forest" of "Forest Gump" sat when he ate his box of chocolates.
Anyway, we had lots of fun, so take a look at my slideshow and see for yourself. I'll be playing catch up with my photo shoots and wedding images!

NILMDTS

I had my first NILMDTS session this week. NILMDTS is an organization to help parents who are experiencing an early infant loss. The organization teams up with professional photographers who donate their talent to take beautiful photos of their terminally ill, premature, or recently passed infant.
This was my first session, so I followed another photographer to see how she handles this type of situation.
The baby was born at 24 weeks, and weighed only 9 ounces. I had never seen such a tiny, but perfect baby. As the mother wrapped the tiny baby in a pink, satin blanket, you could see the tears in her eyes. The only thing, I can think at this point, is that I hope we can take the best, and most beautiful pictures of her baby girl for her. There were moments of awkard silence at times, but we just focused on the baby, and how perfect she was.
After looking over the images I took, I was really glad that I had the opportunity to give this mother something she could have forever, to remember her precious daughter!

Photography Class

I just finished up this week, teaching a photography class for the Centennial Community Education Department. The title was "How To Take Better Pictures". It went really well! I hadn't taught a class in quite awhile, but it felt very natural. The responses were very good, and I think the class really learned from it!

Nate & Kathleen

Today, I had so much fun taking Nate & Kathleen's engagement pictures! We headed over to my favorite park, to take some fun outdoor pictures in the snow. It even snowed for us... a little bit. We had a lot of fun! I love capturing people's true emotions. They're definitely in love!! What a great couple!
See you in June.

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...
