I have entered this contest numerously, and tonight I won a best of pic. Super cool. Here’s a re-cap of the photo that won! More posts to come this week!


Sweet dreams is the theme for this week. I had to post this because it is one of my all time favorite newborn photos. While in the hospital I photographed this little guy. His mom whipped out the shirt, and I had to laugh. See here for more sweet dreaming faces and here for the judges Justin and Mary Marants’ web-site, its way cool!

What an adorable picture…and I LOVE the shirt!! 🙂
Love this- so peaceful.
Seriously GREAT shirt. Oh my gosh. So funny and adorable. I just love it : )
Amazing shirt AND great picture too! 🙂 I love it – no wonder it’s a favorite!
Oh my, is that sweet! I love the shirt!
Oh my word. What an awesome shirt! And that baby is pretty stinkin’ cute too.

The new trend in photography these days: sun flare and shooting into the sun. I love the concept, and I love using the sun creativily. Here is a shot I did last fall for a woman who loves her horses. For me, a very city mouse, it was wonderful experence to catch the scenery around her and catch her in her element!
To see more fun photos with sun flare, head on over to ihearfaces. While you’re at it, go visit B]ecker and check out all the cool photography tutorials he has. You’ll quickly become a fan if you aren’t already.

Great photo! I love the colors and the composition of the photo. The sun flare makes it great1
I also live in Minneapolis. Saw on your twitter that you were editing. I just got photoshop last week and have been trying hard to learn it. It’s been a blast so far. Tonight I thought I had skin smoothing down and turned a little baby from white to dark brown skin…but it was smooth! 🙂
Your photography style is beautiful.
Thanks Tami
It’s encouraging to know that people are reading the blog. Good luck with the editing and photoshop. I was using some actions with that photo, but it is fun to play around with. Glad to know there are others in the Cities that are involved with faces. I feel like so many of the photographers are out in CA! Wish I lived there sometimes to have a longer season!
love horses 🙂 great shot
Wow! Great shot! I love it!

Autumn beauty is the theme this week. In the 20+ shoots that I have done this fall, this engagement photo stuck out to me. It was on one of those cloudy days that I did not expect to see the sun, and when it appeared the lighting and colors were FABULOUS! It’s days like this that I am thankful to live in MN and have the seasons!

Beautiful!
That tree takes my breath away. Great composition!
Wow! Lovely color!! Love the light, love the composition.
Beautiful picture. It tells a beautiful story.
Very nice. I love the light coming through the trees and the shadow and the compositions and… ok i love it all!! Great photo!
nice post. thanks.
Wow! Such beautiful colors!!

A quick look at Sarah and Robert’s beautiful garden soirée themed wedding day! I love catching these behind the scenes moments!Congratulations Sarah and Robert
Watching families grow over the years is one of the greatest joys of my job.
I recently photographed sweet baby Noah’s newborn session, and it was so special getting to capture this season for Sarah + Brandon after photographing their engagement, wedding, and growing family through the years.
His big sister absolutely adored him, and those sibling moments melted my heart
I shared more from their session on the blog today! If your family is growing and you’re looking for newborn or family photos in Minnesota, I’d love to connect.
Spring weddings just hit different
The soft blooms, golden sunsets, fresh air, and all the joyful new beginnings make this season pure magic. From emotional first looks to dancing under twinkle lights, spring weddings are full of life, color, and love and I’m so grateful to capture every moment of it.
If you’re planning a spring wedding, this is your reminder that the little moments become the big memories.
WOOHOO!!! Definitely a great photo to win a best of pick! Congrats!
