Clark + Debbie's Wedding / Unity Baptist Church / Moose Lodge 963

What a fun wedding. I'm so happy for Clark and Debbie and very grateful they gave me the opportunity to photograph the day. This is such a great job, because every wedding is unique and personal.  It's never a boring day at the office. On this day I had beautiful weather, super nice people, great food, Hamlet and some amazing live music. The only bad part of the day was my over indulgence of various types of delicious chili at the reception, which left me a tad uncomfortable during the dance :/ I still think it was worth it, however. Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement! You can order prints here.

2012 Family Sessions

 

Thank you to all of the families that let me tag along this year. The more time I spend behind a camera the more I desire a minimal impact during family sessions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with all out posed photos and I do some of those, but I dont think my brain and heart work best that way.  Maybe I'm drawn to photograph real moments because of the constant bombardment we receive of fake imagery through t.v./media/you name it. I really don't know, but I find myself moving in a certain direction and thats exciting! I think I can take this direction a lot further, however and I trust God will bring the right people my way that will feel served by this approach.  I am amazed at what God has done over the past 2 years.  I always struggle with my abilities and confidence as an artist, but I am so thankful for the grace extended to me.  You are all a huge part of making this business more of a reality for me. THANK YOU. I feel like I'm living the dream :)

There is no "in season / out of season" for family portraits, especially with my style of trying to document real life happening. If you connect with these photos and want to book a time for me to come observe and hang with you and yours, contact me!  Please, I would love it.  Sessions start at $375 for 1 hour of photography and include all images with your choice of mini-album (these look amazing!) or credit towards a bunch of prints (I think you'll love these, too ).

Jon + Senate's Engagement / Stillwater, MN

When you start photographing people and weddings, you always wonder how many friends will be contacting you.  Well, I kinda started this photography thing a tad later in life (30) and most of my friends are already married and into careers and families. BUT, there are always a few that wait.  I am so thankful my buddy, Jon, waited.  We were track captains together in High School and just great friends.  He went on to the Naval Academy and continued more school and also serves in the military.  His fiance, Senate is super fun and cool and I am so excited to be photographing the wedding at the Mill City Museum next summer.  Congrats you guys! Love you both!

 go ahead, jump.
