Studio
Bobbi, Michael, & Finn
Posted on December 11, 2007
I had the pleasure of shooting little Finn’s 8 month pictures on Saturday evening. He was all smiles before we got him on the set, then he just had one thing on his mind…. playing with the toys! Finn loved all of the toys I have for kids in the studio. It actually worked out well, because it was the only way we could keep him sitting still for pictures. 
This is what I love about my job as a photographer. I get to work with different kids and their different personalities and have to figure out ways to get their inner selves to show for the pictures. I think we captured Finn true to his heart… a kid who loves to play and have fun!
See what I mean
This is what happens when you take the toys away
This was the only way to get him to really smile.

Emily & Erik – Married on November 30th, 2007
Posted on December 5, 2007
What a day for Emily & Erik! It was extremely cold outside, but the love between them and their friends & family was enough to keep everyone warm
Erik only proposed back in April, so the fact that they pulled off planning this wedding in that short amount of time is amazing. Hats off to them, that’s for sure! The church & reception sites were absolutely beautiful. They were originally thinking about planning a 2008 fall wedding, but the thought of a winter wedding intrigued Emily so much that they planned it for the end of November 2007. I’m sure glad they did, because I loved being a part of their wedding! Their ceremony was held at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Fridley & their reception was at the Courtyards of Andover in, yup, you guessed it… Andover! It really is too bad the pretty snow ended up falling the day after their wedding
I loved her flowers!
Emily & Erik’s first meeting
The first time Emily and her dad saw each other
They had this gorgeous red aisle runner for the church.
This was something I haven’t seen at a wedding before. Prior to the processional, they showed everyone a 5 minute slideshow, similar to what people usually show at receptions. It was really a neat way to do it!
I thought this was a cute moment. This is the little boy that Emily babysits for. He was blowing out the candles on the candelabra… well, at least the ones he could reach!
Ah, good old point & shoot cameras
This picture needs a caption. The bride & groom drew names out of a jar of couples when people clinked glasses. That couple had to get up and kiss as well!
Emily’s mom responding to her husband’s toast to the couple.
Check out the two little kids! Isn’t that hilarious?!
Congrats, Emily & Erik!! Enjoy your honeymoon in January!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying the snow! I can’t wait to get my little boy out there for his first real experience in the snow.
This was my second session of the day on Wednesday afternoon. I know Shelly, because she is my landlord! She owns the building where I have my studio & is also a chiropractor for the Healing Touch Wellness Center. Charlie & Shelly are expecting their 4th (!!) child in January, so they wanted to get some family pictures before the arrival of their baby boy and get some fun pregnancy shots. The kids were not looking forward to getting their pictures taken, however I think we captured some good shots.

Now for some belly shots. For having 3 kids, her stomach definitely looks fantastic!!
