Brian and Shayna got married up in Duluth. Shayna has watched my nieces for years. She chose Rachel, the oldest, to be her flower girl, which of course was really fun for me. Even though there was thick fog and mist all day, nobody seemed to mind. Everyone was laughing and in high spirits. Very fun!
There is something about father/daughter moments, especially at a wedding. I love these ones of Shayna with her dad.
These portraits are of one of my dearest friend's new baby. This is Gabriel at 2 weeks. He is the cuddliest little baby. I love how he just snuggles right in as deep as he can. He also has some of the funniest expressions. You can really see Kyle, his dad, in a lot of his expressions. It amazes me how early you can see resemblances. Congratulations Kyle and Lindsay!
Angie and Dave got married at Hiawatha Church in South Minneapolis. It had rained all week, but the day of their wedding was absolutely beautiful!
Angie and Dave's nieces and nephews stole the show. They were so cute and did a great job with their big duties of the day-flower girls & ring bearers...and of course, blowing bubbles for the grand exit.
The grand finale of the evening was a dance Angie and Dave had choreographed with a friend. They wanted to add some spice to the traditional "couple's dance", and boy did they! It was hilarious and quite impressive. Congratulations you guys!
My dad once told me that with your closest friends in life, you won't really remember getting to know them. It's something that just happens over time and what makes for such a true friend. In someways that is what happened with my becoming a photographer. It is a passion that started and developed in many ways along the years through a love of art and people, particularly children culminating into a natural light portrait photographer. I couldn't love my work more.
