Once in awhile, we plan sessions and the weather is perfect, here was one lucky case. On a simple Sunday afternoon in the Sibley park we were able to create a beautiful story of this family. The couple featured here in this session, I am honored to call friends. They are currently working in Seoul, South Korea, and are back to Minnesota on vacation. When I caught wind of their plans to return I started hounding them about creating this session for them. Once in awhile, I remind people the importance of family portraits, and once in awhile they agree. I’ve included the entire session slide show.

-My thanks to Lucas for his stellar second shooter skills, featured on the side shots in the slide show (and props to Olivia for sleeping during this so we were able to photograph with two cameras)

Family Session-In the Park

We recently sponsored a “t” at The One Bright Star Golf Tournament, put on by the Weilage Corp here in Mankato and held at the North Links Golf Course, just a short distance from our yard.

At our T, the golfers were asked to “pose” for an image before they could t-off. They each had to draw an action word and act it out as a group…Here are the groups from the day. (the words they drew on top of the photo)

Celebrate…quietly

For anyone who wasn’t able to be at the church dedication at the end of East Main street, Here is the slide show I created from the 9:00 am church service.  Whenever asked to photograph an event I get very excited and try to treat that event with the same creation and passion I have with any Wedding day event I attend. I look to tell the story from beginning to middle to end. Here is the story of the Hosanna Dedication June 2010

Hosanna Dedication

p.s if you have never been to a worship service and would like to attend one with me, I attend the 7pm wednesday night worship each week and would love to have you join me!

Congratulations are in Order for Katie and Will whom tied the knot two weeks ago. We had high hopes of photographing the wedding party at a park, but a steady rain prevented that from happening. Instead we used an area protected from the rain on the outside of the church.

I met this amazing couple  a couple years ago while photographing the bride’s brothers wedding, and was thrilled when they were ready to say. their “I Do’s”. Here are a few images from the day.
