a shoot with swings

Posted on December 2, 2009

I enjoy letting families play during our sessions.  This puts everyone at ease and enables me to capture moments that only come out when people are relaxed.  Elizabeth Park has a great playground and during the middle of our shoot we all headed over there to burn off some energy.  Plus it was very cold out and it was nice to get the body worked up and produce some heat.

I basically spend the weekend with part of this family; did the main family on Saturday and then had another session with Katie on Sunday (those pictures will be posted soon).  Great family + great energy = a very fun shot.  With clients like the Nuessen’s it makes my job so easy!

ms. brandi . high school senior

Posted on November 5, 2009

When I met Brandi for our session it was very early in the morning and very cold.  She was quite the trooper.  I never heard her complain that she was cold the whole 2 hours we were out walking around.  She had to be freezing; I was in 4 layers and still felt the cold.

Brandi reminds me a lot of myself when I was her age.  I see so much in her eyes, her zest for life that is going to come out.  I have a feeling this girl is going to do some amazing things.  She has a fun side that she isn’t afraid to show.  You will notice that in some of these shots her hair is long and red.  She wears a wig from time to time ~ how cool is that?  I would LOVE to wear a wig on the days that I want long sexy hair.  Kudos to Brandi for following her heart and doing what makes her happy!  Make sure you keep this attitude, sometimes as adults we tend to forget life it worth living, not worrying what others will think of us.

Best of luck to you Brandi; keep in touch.

meet ms. haley

Posted on October 29, 2009

Haley has a vivid personality.  The moment I met her I was having fun.  Her eyes sparkle with life; her mood is uplifting.  This girl has a bright future ahead of her.   As we talked we found out she knows my family up in Blaine, it’s such a small world.  I think this put both of us more at ease and we had a deeper connection. 

She was up to anything I asked of her (I hope the water was not to cold) and I would kill for her hair!  This was my first high school senior session and I am hooked, I hope to do a lot more next year.  Haley, I wish you well on your next journey ~ you will go far.
