Teena & Bernie

Abraham Lincoln said, "Nothing valuable can ever be lost by taking time."

Teena and Bernie are my case in point! I've known them for a few years now and was flattered when they asked me to shoot their engagement session. We headed to St. Paul where they went on their first date. Which was a terrific way for me to get a chocolate croissant from Bread and Chocolate! Thanks so much for a great shoot and congratulations on your engagement!

Sweet little girl!

When asked if I photograph children, I exuberantly say "yes I do and I love it!" For me, photographing children is at it's best done environmentally. What does that mean...? Well, what is your child into at this particular age? Bubbles, barbies, a cardboard box that you've made into a playhouse, soccer, girl scouts, boy scouts, reading books under her bed? Any of these, photographed explains a great deal about your child at this particular age, which gives you a photo shoot filled with joy, love and interest.

Case in point, this sweet little girl! To K, thank you for thinking of me to photograph your lovely girl!










And what shoot would be complete without some goldfish!!

Collin & Krista's Engagement

Let's talk Physics, Love and running.

To take a sentence from my photog friend: Eliesa with Photogen-inc, Collin and Krista are the true meaning of the "Element of Love". They are both attending graduate school in Michigan, both getting their doctorates in Physics, both are cross country runners and both just got that "element" you need to fall in love. I thought, wow, that's amazing, they have endurance for running, endurance to achieve their doctorates (together nonetheless) and endurance to be married.

So Krista, good luck in your academics in becoming a nuclear chemist. Collin, good luck in your academics in becoming an engineer and to the both of you, congratulations on finding love! Good luck with the remainder of your running season too!

Surprised in hearts!

Lazy Sundays

I'm learning to relax and be lazy on Sundays. I took a note from not only my doctor but also from my lovely dogs.

Louie, who thinks this is his chair and basks in the sun.


Frankie who thinks the couch is his and yes, I found him cuddling that pillow.

Commercial from Mcdonalds

This post really has nothing to do with weddings. It's a commercial from Mcdonalds and it's just so darn cute, I have to share it! I've seen it a couple of times now and just love the music, the kids, the super cute boy with the trophy, then the last frame of the boy with red hair...it's so great!
