They are SOOO comfortable, and I feel that while this is my first pair of Puma shoes, this will not be my last!
I am sure my friend Johanne would have something to say about the colors :P
This is the song I sing when I wear them!!! :)

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
Today Aaron and I spent some time riding our bikes on the trails at a park near our neighborhood. It was absolutely gorgeous weather outside today! We hope that it's as nice tomorrow. We'll be headed to my parents to chill by the river and play some frisbee. They said they'll be doing some work around the house and yard, but we'll get a chance to have dinner with them.
A couple pics from a different park by our house (taken last week). We love being outside!
Hope you all get outside tomorrow! Be safe, also!

Bergen and Justin's Wedding in the AM!
I am so thrilled to be shooting Bergen and Justin's wedding today!
I realized that I was absolutely terrible at updating my blog last fall, so here are some engagement photos that we took last fall at the Minnesota Arboretum. The leaves were PERFECT that day, as you can see!
High five!!
She fits perfectly into his arms, doesn't she!?
This made me giggle, so we just had to:)
Everyone have a great holiday weekend!

HOT HOT HOT! Tornado season is upon us.
It is currently 91 Degrees in my city!
In May, in Minnesota? Unheard of! I heard that Minneapolis (about 35 miles from where I am) broke a heat record today by a degree. (92 or 93 I think?) Insane!
Thank goodness for the wind gusts(which are "up to 40 mph!") -- I can't imagine how hot it would be otherwise!
Although, the wind is still coming through the office window cracks and making this irritating whistling noise. Grr!
Aaron and I had the windows open earlier today until we realized, "Wait a minute... it's 90 degrees outside!? That's why it's so flippin hot in our house!" We thought we were just being babies who weren't used to the seasonal heat yet, ha! He is working from home today down at our kitchen table, and when we had the South windows open, a wind gust came and pushed the screen right off the window! Seriously? Haha!
I love knowing what's going on with weather. As I've probably said before, I really like learning about storms, and the jet stream, and all of that stuff. I will be the one outside with my camera when there is a storm rolling in. However... HOWEVER... I am scared of tornadoes to the extent of that I believe they should be respected, along with severe weather. If those tornado sirens go off, I am in the basement in a half second. The thing with severe weather sirens, is that you don't know if a tornado is "possible" or if it just surprised everyone and came out of the sky ("WHOA! We better sound the sirens!"), or if one is already on the ground. Last year, on May 25th, a tornado landed in my city, and another landed in a city(Hugo) about 20 miles from my house, too. That tornado in Hugo surprised everyone, and people had to scramble to their basements. It ripped out a whole street-- some houses were ripped completely off their foundations (exposing the basement). Seventeen people sought medical attention, and a little boy died too, which is so tragic. They said the sirens had JUST went off when they looked down the street and there was the tornado. That's the thing... just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it hasn't already landed behind your house.
Click HERE to see the Hugo tornado (you can hardly see it, but it's there).
And, here is the devastation from a bird's eye view:

Oh, and to help you remember what a tornado actually looks like and why you should not be friends with one,
here is a photo of an Iowa tornado, taken from WAY TOO CLOSE!!!!!!!
(I did not take this photo, and not sure who to give credit for it, but to the dude who took it... get your butt inside next time!!)
And so, I just want to remind all of my fellow Minnesotans, and, those in tornado country, to be aware of the weather, and respect severe weather! Here's the thing... tornadoes and severe weather don't give a care about your life. They don't have any feelings at all, contrary to popular belief. So don't be idiots, and take care of yourselves;)

Being in a bridal party....
is FUN!!!!
While I love being behind the camera on a wedding day, I had such a great time being in the bridal party for my brother-in-law's wedding!! It was so fun to enjoy the family, hang out with the bridal party, meet new friends, catch up with old acquaintances, dance like a crazy person, and just seriously enjoy the day whenever possible.
When Liz walked down the aisle, all of us 4 bridesmaids were already crying, haha! It started with Meredith, Liz's sister, and then it just went right down the line as soon as we knew the bridesmaid ahead of us was crying. It was such a happy day! And now, Jon and Liz are on their honeymoon in Hawaii-- a place they are sure to thoroughly enjoy.
Here are just a couple pics of Aaron and me. I took a few photos at the wedding, but there was another photographer to capture most of the stuff! I will share some of the quick photos I snapped as the week goes on.
(No, this is not a serious smile, in case you were wondering;) This is me goofing off while my sister in law took a pic.)
Helping out the ring bearer with his boutonniere that fell off before formals... LOL! Look at that face he's making!
The gorgeous couple!
.
More photos to come.

Mother's Day
Here is Dixie, enjoying a glass of wine.
(Or, so it looks like it, ha:))
She did her share of entertaining us on Mother's Day evening....
The best part is, she doesn't share her slobbery ball all that often. You usually have to go and take it from her if YOU want to play with her.
And, I know I just posted photos of trees from Washington DC, but I love plum and crab apple blossoms. I had to share these pics from my parents' yard... Spring is so pretty here in MN, and it smells heavenly!
Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day last weekend. Much love to Mom, and Mom Murray!

Jonathan & Elizabeth: Engagement Photos !
My brother-in-law is getting married on Saturday to the wonderful Elizabeth. I love them both, and I am super excited for the wedding! I get to be in the wedding, so I am trying to narrow down my hairdo ideas... I think I'm just going to have the stylist help me decide! And as far as makeup goes, I need to get some waterproof mascara... I might just cry when Liz walks down the aisle. Or, at some point, I'm sure of it!
Here are just a couple images from their engagement session:
(They met playing the viola, so we started at the Schmitt Music wall in Minneapolis... I thought it seemed appropriate!).

This one is totally "them" and makes me laugh.
Watch out!

Azalea Gardens!!
While in MD and Washington DC area, we went to the National Arboretum. It was rainy, but we had our umbrellas and rain coats. The rain and overcast sky really made the colors stand out!!
Here are a "few" photos from that day (I took so many more than I'm even showing, haha!:))
This is Aaron's great Aunt Barbara, and Uncle Bob.
I love these branches...
We then drove through the coniferous gardens...
We came across this HUGE tree!!
(What was under the tree)
These are the columns from the original capitol building!
A successfully fun day:)
(The rain made my hair this way, just FYI:))
