A warm Janesville, Minnesota Wedding

Sherry — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:40:57 +0000

I spent the coldest day of the year (remember in Nov, the day with sleet and ice etc-that day) with the warmest hearted couple I’ve met in a long time. This couple was surrounded by friends and family in the little village I like to call a home away from home, Janesville. Like any day in Minnesota, we knew there was a good chance of snow, but the bride was a trooper. In the few outdoors images we were able to catch before the sunset, the bride stood in flip flops as the snow sprinkled (okay sleet pelted) down. It was a bit magical being in that fun Minnesota setting, the snow quietly falling down around the bride and groom. Thank you for choosing me to create these images for you.

The Gift of Donations

This family was one of the 140 families who were able to receive portraits for Free from Inspired Portrait Photography in 2011. Between Silent Auctions, Fundraisers and our annual MOPS event we were able to provide families with free sessions all year long. If you are having a fundraiser and would like our photography as a gift to your attendee, please call me Sherry at 507.381.8007. We would love to make the 150 mark this year! Blessings to you

In the Heat of Love

Sherry — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:00:17 +0000

Cheers to this happy couple whom I’ve know for a few years. I met the Bride Dena a few years back when she was a high school senior. Her and her family have played a big roll in renewing my excitement for photography each time they hire us for a session. This wedding was no different. Travis and Dena chose the Indian Island Winery as the ideal location to say their “I do’s”. One of the highlights of the wedding was a balloon release prior to the reception beginning, this was the first time I had seen one done at a wedding, and it was very sweet. Here are a few of the other sweet memories from the day.

Inspired Photography Donates $500 To MS Walk Mankato, Minnesota

Sherry — Wed, 04 May 2011 20:12:56 +0000

With the help of a few loyal customers and a new amazing friend Annie Weber, we surpassed our goal of $150 and raised $500. We used that money to show our support and walk in the annual MS walk here in Mankato. Aside from the pure love of photography…..making a difference in the world is really the driving force behind “what I do” aka my job.

Not all photo shoots are beautiful white wedding gowns and cake eating toddlers, as amazing as they are, I fill my schedule with hours of volunteer shooting every year. (p,s Don’t be afraid to ask) I rarely turn down the chance to join the cause, esp when my children can be involved. I value the gift of time and it’s what I am able to give most of.

Lucas, Olivia (20 months) and Josiah (2 months) and I didn’t brave the out door five miles but did walk a great distance inside. It was the first time we tried out the double stroller, and it was heavier then I had thought! Here are the images I was able to create while walking and talking our way around the track

A Wedding Story

Sherry — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 14:00:39 +0000

Congrats to our many brides to be who recently got engaged. We’ve been receiving many calls and questions about our 2011 & 2012 wedding collections. If you’ve also recently decided to tie the knot, I would love to know all about it. I am IN LOVE with LOVE, and can’t get enough of the joy that a wedding day celebration brings. Featured here is a wedding from the summer of 2010, and one of the most memorable days I’ve had the chance to photograph. By the time I jumped in the van at the end of the night, I felt it hard to leave, as if I had become part of their families. Thank You Shawnna and Jay for reminding me how much TRUE LOVE means.

We still have a few dates in 2011 open for your wedding day photography. If you would like to meet with me and find out why my passion lies in the telling of your story with images, call me anytime. 507.381.8007

Long way from home

Sherry — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 15:58:53 +0000

Each October these lovely ladies visit their grandmother here in Mankato. They fly from California and celebrate her birthday with her every year. It’s lovely I think, they always go shopping for something matching to wear or a theme etc. I believe grandma was 96 this year. She cracks me up by always saying….”of course I can do that, I am not 100 ya know” I look forward to this each Fall. THANKS GUYS

Farm Life

A few times a year I am asked to photograph landscape art for a local farm finance company to use for their marketing group. This past spring I brought Lucas with to create some images as well. We delivered the client over 100 images, but here are a few I had hand to share with you! Harvest images to come soon!

Last week I had the pleasure of working with a Mankato business who had brought in Harmon Killebrew to speak to thier group. I was able to get a photo and a ball signed before he had to leave. Here are a few images from the time I spent with him.

I feel lucky each day to work with people of all ages, all walks of life, you are all super stars and home run hitters to me! I don’t take my job for granted, and I hope it shows in my work that each of you are special to Inspired Portrait Photography
