Some fun baby portraits… Not the whole set, but I just had to post some pictures of those big, unbelieveably beautiful, eyes.

And then, the “over the shoulder, movie star pose”, just for good measure. ;)

After the circus

Events, Life 1 Comment

Old friends, family, and meeting people you’ve never seen before… It’s amazing how tiring truly great days can be.  After the circus is over, you really just want to relax, kick back and ‘reflect’ over a fire.

Give the people what they want

You know you want it…  (Why is it no one requests more images of engagement photographs or an awesome candid moment at a wedding… all I get is “Show me more puppies!!!”).  Give the people what they want, I guess… Kona and Cooper snugglin’.

When we do wedding or engagment photographs, be cute like this statue.

Staying involved in the community through the Miss Fridley Scholarship program is fun…  The girls are always so gracious and happy.  A few images from the night:

From the four in this picture, a virtual cookie to the person who can guess who just won something…

Sara and Brian

Portraits, Wedding No Comments

I shot with Jen Coleman today; a really fun wedding photographer friend of mine.  Sara and Brian got married today at St. Mary’s church in downtown St. Paul.  They were so unbelievably cool; the family, the bridal party, and all the guests were all extremely gracious.  It was a downright pleasure to be a part of their day.  Sara, in particular, was certainly one of the most emotive people I’ve ever met – good times, good times.  Oh, and aviators…  anyone with aviators automatically gets in two times the number of pictures they otherwise would. :)

A couple quick images I made before I head for a well-earned sleep:

I’ll probably post some more as I process them… we’ll see, gotta keep room for dog pictures! ;)

Say Hello to Cooper

My parents, obviously jealous of my super awesome dog, Kona, decided they would also get a Brittany puppy.

…actually, we both decided about 6 months ago that we would and have just been waiting on finding a good non-puppy-mill breeder…   The new happy family.

Photograph of Cooper alone

When not in his parents arms, Cooper seemed a bit unsure of his new surroundings, but from experience, I’m sure within a day or two, he’ll be happy as a… puppy.  ZING!

In anticipation of continued puppy pictures, I am contemplating changing my site name to something along the lines of “puppies’R'us” instead of pretending to focus on wedding photography. Bah. :(

Some day I’ll get to posting more wedding, portrait and gear stuff… but that day is not today.  And, really, probably not tomorrow either.  Give me next week perhaps to get some more puppy out of my system. ;)
