Erica & Ryan | Engaged | Stone Arch Bridge












































































































































































































This shoot was lots-o-fun. And I was so pumped about another day of great - well, good enough - weather for outdoor shooting. It sure didn't hurt that Erica and Ryan are super-awesome, photogenic, and easy to get along with! I'm really looking forward to their wedding next June (fall engagement images are a nice contrast)... Oh, and we were at/around the Stone Arch Bridge - with the changing leaves, it's looked quite different every time I go there.
Thanks so much Erica & Ryan!

Fall Portraits | Pagel Family






Another fun fall session with the Pagel trio - and they just keep growing! Little Oliver was brand new the last I saw him, and now 6 months old and full of personality. Always a pleasure, guys - thanks for being one of the best clients -and friends- ever! :)

Kate & Brian | Engaged































































































































































The wonderful associate photographer Bethany did an awesome engagement session for Kate & Brian. Here are just a few of my favorites. Too cute!

Fall Portraits | Kendall Family









I got to meet and get to know the Kendalls when the youngest, Blake was 4 months old - now he's three! Maxi and Spencer are getting so big too! Time flies when you're having fun... Here are just a few of my favorites from their fall session. Enjoy! And thanks so much P, P & co. - it was lovely to see you again!

Senior 2010 | Olivia | Hopkins HS



































































































































































































































Talk about classically beautiful! I knew just from looking through the viewfinder that Olivia would look stunning in her senior portraits. We strolled along the Guthrie & Mill City Museum area downtown Minneapolis as the farmers' market was cleaning up and got some amazing shots - and it was so much fun! Well done, Olivia. And holy buckets! :)

October 9 | Kristyna & Jesse | Married





















































































































































































































































































It's been a pleasure getting to know this couple - we started with their engagement session back in January and they are so sweet and cool! Kristyna's just a doll and her and Jesse's love seems quiet, peaceful, and strong. Love it!

A successful event through and through, their ceremony and reception took place at one of my favorite venues, Windows on Minnesota with stunning flowers by Fleur de Lis Fresh Flowers and cake from the always-yummy Buttercream. (Kristyna & Jesse even remembered it was my birthday and had a delicious chocolate cupcake for me. Many many thanks!) Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Bright!
