Children’s Museum

I LOVE the Children’s museum.  Basically because the exhibits are so amazing and the kids can play for hours.  Big bonus this time I went, 90 people (moms and kids) attended the event from my mom’s group!  Let me tell you, it is the WAY TO GO.  I was able to chat with my friends while my kids played theirs.  There were also many eyes watching the doors, so if there was an escapee, they were quickly swooped up back into the pretend play land .  It was WONDERFUL.  Of course I stayed way too long.  ( I was busy crawling and enjoying the ant house with my 2 year old).  After I announced my regular “2 more minutes” at the face painting table there was a major meltdown followed by ear-piercing screams and fits of rage.  (You know the drill, we’ve all seen it).  I was all ready to shoot the remainder of the face creations, but Elise did not want to cooperate with my creative side.  Oh well.

    The Meyers Family

    Jeremy and I grew up together.  We met while I was in 5th grade and he in 4th.  Our families went to the same church.  I had 2 sisters and no brothers, and over time Jeremy became our “adopted brother.”  Even though we lived in different cities, we saw each other at least twice a week, if not more, as he hung out regularly at the Davis home.  As we grew up and graduated from high school, we still hung out; going on youth trips together as “counselors” (What a joke as we were only a few years older than the kids we were supposed to be mentoring),  hanging out together, me getting advise about guys from him and him receiving advise from me on girls.  Over time he met his amazing wife Elizabeth and Eva was born a few years after that.  This past weekend I had yet another chance to hang out with their family and do a session for them.  Being that we hadn’t seen each other in almost a year, and that I had just met his new son, we had to do coffee afterward, just to catch up.

    One of the reasons I had not seen Jeremy for a year is because he is a soldier and was deployed during part of 2008.  We found this great tribute to the soldiers at the Coon Rapids Dam which fit their family perfectly.  (Elizabeth used to be on active duty too (as an officer), but is now retired!)

      The Sutkowski’s

      I was able to photograph this beautiful family in May, but as Mackenna has grown, the photos need replacing!  (See Here for her 6 month photos.)  We toured around Elm Creek Park reserve and Mackenna had us all laughing, racing away from the camera and on to exploring the world around her.  Here are some snippets from the morning that we shared.

        I heart faces- week 45

        i heart faces- adults

        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!

        Jessica and Bryan 10.24.09

        I had the wonderful privilege of being a second shooter for my very good friend Kate at Jessica and Bryan’s beautiful fall wedding.  It is always fun for me to be able to look at a couple from a different angle and be able to see some of the details that I would not otherwise see.

        They were such an awesome couple and so laid back.  We had a fabulous day for shooting, and props to them for doing most of the pre-wedding photos outside.  Being from CA, I think they were a little taken aback with the crispness of the fall.  But they endured and were beautiful through it all!

        Here’s Kate at her best.  She was a Rockstar!  Thanks again for letting me be a part of the day!  I am always inspired and amazed to be around people that love what I do and are totally passionate about not only the field, but the people!
