Anne and Drew-- Getting Married Saturday!

Hi all!

I have been busy, as usual, except for even moreso in the past 2 months than ever before. I am afraid I took on too much this fall! But, it is a learning experience none the less. I am already making a New Year's resolution to blog at least 1 time a week. I will reconfirm this after New Year's... but I really think I can do it, and you know what?? I WANT to. There are a couple blogs I read often, and Jasmine Star's is one of them. I realized that what I absolutely love about her blog other than the fact that I love her writing, she is a sweet person, and her photos are pretty to look at-- is that she updates so frequently. I absolutely love having something to read and look at on a regular basis. And while I would suck at being Jasmine Star, or anyone else for that matter, I want to do this for me, and for you-- because it will be fun, because I have so many photos I want to share that I am not posting because my time is squished to the max right now.... but I want it in my plans to be a more frequent blogger.

Like I said, I am crazy busy right now. Basically trying to catch up on all my fall weddings and portraits. But, for next year, I want my blog to have more of a priority. At the end of the wedding season, when I have all the weddings done, I'll do a post where I pick one or two faves from each wedding I did this year (24:)).



Here are some photos from a quickie engagement session I did for Anne and Drew. (Can we call them "ANNEDREW" when they get married? Maybe;)). They are getting married on Saturday!! This will be my last wedding of this year, and I know it will be wonderful. I've known them both since high school, but moreso Drew because we hung out in the same group of friends Sophomore and Junior year... He is such a good and funny guy-- I know he will make Anne very happy for all of their years. :)

Kara & Noah's Wedding: Five Faves

A couple funnies:

Where am I?

Apologies for my absence. As if that is any different than normal for blogging;)

The past 3 weeks have been the busy weeks in my career so far... shooting, editing, and all business related task-wise! Honestly, I don't even know where the past 12 weeks have gone!

That said, everything is going pretty well, and I can't complain that I have work. I feel very blessed.


I'll do my best in November to have at least a few updates!

October 12th... and it's snowing!?

Oh man... While Minnesota weather is always unpredictable, sometimes, it still surprises us! It is, indeed, snowing a significant amount today. The past few days have been SUPER cold-- especially as a photographer, and for my subjects! Julianna and Kyle tied the knot yesterday, and they knew that, while cold, we would still get fantastic shots outside with some of the fall colors. The bridal party and families all braved the brief bit of cold while we did our best to snap some quick photos-- photos I know they will absolutely love, and not ever regret going outside for!

From what I've read on Facebook status updates, most people are enjoying the bit of snow today. People are coping by purchasing specialty seasonal coffee drinks at our local coffee shops, lighting holiday scented candles, and keeping warm and snuggley with sweaters, sweatpants and sweatshirts (Side note: Writing those three words together makes me wonder why the creators of those words used the word "sweat" in all three... sure, they help us to stay warm, but "sweat" is a little gross! I mean, a "Sweater." Why couldn't we have called it a "warmer?" That's what it does for me-- makes me warmer!).

Here are a few photos from out my window earlier today:


As you can see, most of the leaves haven't even had a chance to change colors yet!



A snow this early is never expected to last... So I think that's one reason that Minnesotans aren't' complaining... yet, ha:)


Stay warm!
(I know my friends in other states are... you punks!)
