M and J....wedding for Erin Johnson Photography

This weekend I had the privilege to photograph the BEST 8-8-08 wedding in the state for Erin Johnson Photography. Check out her blog HERE to see more :]

I'd rather play Football

I have yet to meet a *guy* high school senior who is REALLY excited about his senior photo shoot. And T is no exception.  There is no doubt in my mind that he would rather be playing his guitar or throwing the football.  Don't get me wrong... there was never any complaint! T was good enough to give me his time with an AMAZING great attitude!  Really, I have never met such and agreeable young man! And in the end I believe we both had a really nice time!

T I wish you all the best for your senior year!!

Where did the time go??

A is the daughter of a friend.  And all I can say is.... she suddenly turned into a young woman!  Wow, when did that happen?  A has mixed feelings about her senior year.  Excited to be moving on, yet sad to be moving on.  She is interested in art and was on a competitive diving team for many years.we began her shoot at her grandparents 100+ year old home on Lake Minnetonka.


then played around in town a bit....A is super fun and has lots of great ideas!


A, I am so happy to see you thriving and enjoying your friends and school!

CC is her thing

E is the Cross Country Captain and a super funny girl to boot! I had a great time working with you E and I wish you the very best for your senior year!

Look at those huge eyes!


and great smile!!

put that WEDDING DRESS back on!!

The day after S and D's fantastic wedding we met for a dress shoot.  S and D were willing to do almost anything.... frankly, I think my imagination came short of their willingness.  Nonetheless, we had a great time!  and some darn nice shots!








S was even willing to get INTO the fountain!  Isn't she beautiful!! 

Huge thanks to Erin of Erin Johnson Photography for joining me in the fun!

What a great time to be a senior!

especially if you are as active and kind hearted as K! She volunteers at a local hospital in her free time, is involved in sports and her church. I had such a great time getting to know you K and I wish you the very best in your senior year!
again, one of those out of focus perfections!  Love the feeling of this image of K!

amazing beauty to go along with her tender heart...
and then we see where K gets her beauty...mom!

Gnome brush with the authorities....

Hello family.  It was nice to hear from you yesterday.  I am being careful and you are right, no everyone can be trusted as you will see from the pictures above.  There was a little misunderstanding with the locals.  Apparently they do not like when you take the apple out of the pigs mouth during a Luau.   It was all straightened out with nothing more than an apology and a promise to stay away from the next Luau. 

I did see on cable news the other day that the weather is starting to warm up at home.  Don't worry.  I will be home soon as I can raise the funds.  However, I am rather enjoying my travels.  I do miss you all!
