documentary film photography
Hellen is a friend who happens to LOVE baking. I love to eat sweets...so, one morning I went over to her cosy Minneapolis home to document her life in the kitchen and eat some stuff :) As many of you know, I prefer b/w photography. I did take some color photos during this session, but that window light with b/w film just looks so nice. Check out Hellen's food here.
We explored a new place where the river carves its own path and long before paved trails or manicured lawns, the land was breathing and changing with its own rhythm. Ancient oak trees and dry flood plains set the stage. Youthful adventure. Finding insects and sticks while enjoying the warmth of the Fall sun on our faces. Just another casual family session, but so inspiring to me. I love this job for many reasons, but its such joy for me to observe and create using photography. For everyone who helps make this possible...THANK YOU.
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.
