Ellen, Jason, Lucy & Sawyer / an all film family/engagement session

Lucy warmly greeted me as I fumbled, packing my camera bag. She seemed really excited to have me there, which was refreshing. I had decided earlier that day to shoot 100% film on this session. It had been a while. But, I was excited. It also meant I was trying to use too many cameras, hence the fumbling. After a brief welcome and chat, we set off to explore the park and nearby lake. The sun was out. I had been waiting and waiting for a session to line up with decent weather and it finally happened! Getting the film scans back was like a breath of fresh air and has made me question why I still shoot digital so much. Hope you enjoy the gorgeous colors and feel of this session. I still have some availability for family or portrait sessions this Summer/Fall. Lets do it!

Thanks Ellen & Jason, for trusting me and enjoying your time together in front of the camera. You helped make some amazing photographs.

Megan + Travis / Minneapolis documentary engagement session

Eric + Erica / Minneapolis Engagement Session

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.
