THE JOURNAL

This fall right before the deadline for Senior photos I had a senior session at my favorite location in North Oaks.  He is actually a senior at a Lindstrom area High School but he wasn’t one for crowds or running into anyone he knew.  So he requested a location that I like to call The […]

There are plenty of reasons to shoot outdoors for any portrait shoot. You have the natural lighting, the weather that can enhance the mood, and the simply picturesque scenery. It doesn’t matter if you live in the city or the suburbs there are plenty of natural backdrops you can use during your photo session if […]

You have coordinated your outfits perfectly and chosen the most stunning location. But aside from the clothing and backdrops how else can you make your family portraits more memorable and meaningful?

There’s no denying that getting a good shot of your toddler can be quite a struggle. Not only are they always moving around but if you happen to catch them on a bad day, there’s almost no way that you’re going to get them to look at the camera. If you’re working with a professional […]

I’m so excited to announce this year’s holiday mini sessions in the studio for November 16th & 17th 2019!  We will be in my “new” studio.  I say new because I moved into it in February of this year so last year’s mini sessions were in the old studio and I just love this new […]

I photographed this high school senior at the beginning of the school year.  We headed over to Como Park where we explored.  Como park is great for variety in your photo sessions.  You get both a beautiful outdoor nature feel but also a little bit of a great urban backdrop too with it’s lovely buildings […]

This photo session has been on my calendar for a year!  It’s a once a year event that can only be done on a specific date each year.   The Great Minnesota Get Together is HUGE and each year it gets bigger and bigger and the crowds are amazing.  It’s just so much more than our […]
