McNamara Alumni Center || Emily & Joe

When beginning a wedding season, there are a million things a photographer thinks about… and by “thinks” I mean obsesses over, re-thinks, over-plans, and gets the nervous butterflies about. How lucky am I to have this stellar couple for the first of 2012! Like walking into an Uptown bar on your first date, spotting the hottest one in the place, and finding they’re yours! That’s Emily and Joe. As stunning as they were, dapper and dazzling for sure, their sincere romance was all over their faces and it was a beautiful thing. Cheers to a long life of butterflies and hot dates! Enjoy the La Vie kick off of La Weddings!

 

Minneapolis Family Photographer || Maternity Session

The most gorgeous pregnant mamas have been coming in for maternity sessions! I’m loving it. Teresa was absolutely no exception. She was radiant just days before she was about to give birth. I mean, come on, look at that bombshell hair and yummy black dress. Super charming dad-to-be at her side, Teresa is so ready to welcome this darling girl on her way. Congrats, you two!

Portrait Session Giveaway! || Minneapolis Portrait Photographer

Design Sponge | Published!

It’s true.  I photograph people.  There is nothing that interests me less than the idea of photographing a banana with perfect technical skill or a car at 60 MPH with no camera shake… I stick to moving, breathing, laughing, crying, interesting people in their surroundings.  But, when one of those such people are so damn cute and incredibly talented I simply can’t turn down the opportunity to capture them doing what they love.

Enter Carla!  She will always stand out in my mind as one of my cutest and most stylish brides of all times.  See her 2009 wedding HERE, or on Style Me Pretty: Here, Here, or Here!  Yes, we’re talking that stylish.  All this to say that I will photograph anything (even bananas) for the lovely Carla!

Carla recently completed a task even greater than undertaking wedding planning… a complete redesign on her home in St. Louis Park.  The outcome, nothing short of amazing.  I wanted to explore every room, corner, cubby but for fear of frightening Carla with my stalking I attempted to keep my cool and stick to taking photos!

Of course her designs we selected by Design Sponge for their blog, see the full post HERE.  And really, consider hiring this girl.  She has an incredible eye and a really unique execution of her designs.  I am in love with her work and fully intend for her to reinvent my entire home!

Cathedral of Saint Paul & Radisson Riverfront Wedding || Jennette & Luke

Oh how long I’ve been waiting to post this wedding.  Clearly, I’m late to get it up but I’ve been saving it as it’s one of my favorites.  Jennette and Luke are a dynamic duo to say the least.  Both are witty, charming, and down right smart (in the all encompassing English use of the word).  This was a day mixed with class, style and lots of humor and we had a blast.  Both the bride and groom rocked it for the camera with a comfortable awareness of the camera.  It was this that enabled the perfect blend of emotive candid images & stylish posed shots.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!  Enjoy the highlights!

As always, much love to our fabulous vendor partners:

Kristen at fab.you.lous Event Design, The St. Paul Cathedral, The Radisson Riverfront, Christine’s Floral Touch and others.
