Jason + Trisha: Minneapolis/ St. Paul Engagement Photography

I first met Jason + Trisha last fall for their engagement session and it was windy... and when we met again for a "summery" shoot, it was windy again. But, these guys are pros, so nothing fazed them! I love couples who can roll with the punches and be in the moment. Their fall session featured warm fuzzy hats in downtown Stillwater and this session was super fun and summery at a local garden. The sun was shining and we all hope it will be just a tad warmer for their wedding in July :)

Jason + Trisha should be on those eHarmony commercials... not only because they met online a couple years ago, but because they are totally real life in love and you can see it in their eyes how much they adore each other. A perfect match!

Harvey Dean: St. Paul Newborn Photography

I know I teased you a while back with that diptych of Mr. Harvey Dean and you've probably been waiting forever for the rest, so here they are!














Word on the street is that this little handsome man is starting to smile 24/7, so stay tuned for more photos of Mr. Harvey coming soon :)

Kate, class of 2011: Minneapolis/ St. Paul Portrait Photographer

My besties are always trying their hardest to promote my little bizz to the people they know -- and it has always, without fail, turned out GREAT! So when Kate came my way, I knew her session would be stunning and fabulous, just like her!

I know all of us here in the Midwest couldn't wait for our high school senior photo session, but apparently in AZ, the multiple outfit changes and cool (at the time) poses weren't all that and so poor Kate never had senior photos taken! She'll be graduating a few weeks from now from graduate school and will soon be off to conquer the world and wanted to celebrate the end of this academic journey.

You know you've made a friend when she opens her car and five pairs of shoes come flying out, along with a vintage trunk of jewels and uber trendy cheetah print threads and she says, "I know you said to bring options, so I did and I hope that's okay..." and you're standing there, thanking your lucky stars! I absolutely adore when clients allow me to style their shoot and Kate was totally along for the ride -- she even wore my magic silver belt in a few shots!

Of course the weather wasn't too cooperative, but Kate took everything in stride and did so flawlessly. We HAD to do some cheesy poses just for tradition's-sake but ultimately ended up with some headshots for resumes and fab Facebook profile photos :)

Here's Kate!



When your clients think you're hilarious, it makes it SO much more fun! Thanks to Kate, I've begun perfecting my list of jokes that work and... don't work :)


Thanks to these guys for making us laugh on such a chilly day! One of the ladies was even so nice as to let Kate have a ride :)

Syd

New Promo!

After scouring through photos of the last year, I came across this gem and HAD to use it for a new promo piece.










And now the race is on to figure out my new branding, logo, website, blog... whew! Hope you'll be along for the ride :)
