Erica gushed about my photography from the very first email I received and every email along the way. This sorta thing does crazy good things in a creatives heart. Honestly, I usually don't get THAT much appreciation and when it does come, its life giving. Her and Eric have been some of the best people to work alongside and I'm so excited for their wedding next year. We had a fun time on this session checking out one of their favorite spots in NE Minneapolis (612 Brew) and exploring a couple great locations near our home in South Minneapolis. I really love the last set of photos after the sun had set. I used to never want to shoot after the sun went down, but lately I've been really loving the colors and mood during that window before all goes black.

2014 / Year In Review
2014 was my biggest year, yet. I was the busiest I've ever been with photography...had more portrait and family sessions and weddings in a single season ever. It still wasn't enough, though. I want to work harder. I want to drink more coffee and stay up later. In 2014, I started shooting more film than digital and started developing all my black and white film at home. This was the first year I worked outside of Minnesota. I traveled to Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Texas and South Dakota. All for photography. I'm so stoked about this. Help me make 2015 even better! Thank you thank you thank you…for the support, encouragement and inspiration. Love you guys. I couldn't do this without you. Here are some rad photos from this year.
