Badlands

These are a few images I came across from a trip to The Badlands that I took a few years ago. It's fun to look back on them. I will be posting more images from my archives throughout the new year. 

A lovely album

Simply put, I love making albums for my clients. They are hands down the best way to retell the story of a wedding day. I get so excited to deliver an album to a couple and just love to imagine them sitting in their home on their couch, looking at it together with their family and friends. I hear over and over from people that their wedding day was amazing but seemed to go by so quickly. The album is a way to relive some of those wonderful moments that may otherwise be forgotten over time. 

My goal is to always make beautiful albums with clean designs that will not date themselves quickly. Here is our most recent album for a great couple, Nikki and Matt, who were married last Fall. I love that they chose the rich purple cover to match the bridesmaids dresses! So, so lovely. 

Home in the Winter : Happy New Year

I absolutely love going home for Christmas. My family is VERY close and we have a lot of traditions that we have kept alive for many years. Home is always warm, full of good conversation, love, great food and drink and amazing memories. Here's to a wonderful new year full of all of those things.

These guys were so much fun at Nikki and Matt's wedding! We got them to ham it up for the camera, which wasn't hard to do! A big thank you to Megan at MN Bride for sharing my work on the blog today.

Film Images Part 2

These are some of the color images I shot in Alabama at the A Bryan Photo workshop. I absolutely love the classic look of film and the simplicity of it. All shot on Hasselblad with Kodak Portra film. 

Film Images!!!

I am SOOOO excited about these images I shot on film at the A Bryan Photo Workshop in Alabama a few weeks ago!! The tonal range of film is unbelievable and the square format is something I absolutely LOVE. These were shot on a Rolleiflex and Hasselblad cameras with Kodak Tri-X black and white film. They were processed by Richard Photo Lab in Los Angeles. Thank you so much to Bryan and his incredible team of people for offering us such a career-changing experience. Thanks to Brian at Richard Photo Lab for his extensive knowledge of the photography industry and his generosity (he had our film overnight processed so we could critique the next day!). A huge thank you to Kodak for donating all of the film we got to shoot with too!! I will be sharing more film images soon from the experience! Enjoy!

The Brown Family

My approach to family sessions is simple : to keep it fun and genuine. I ask my families what they love to do together and we use that as inspiration for the session. Kids feel comfortable when they can just play and be themselves and not just sit still and say "cheese". I love capturing those real moments of love within a family, when you're running around in the hard, hugging, joking around...and my favorite is to shoot in the home of the family because it provides the personal elements that are key to great photographs. I love getting to watch these boys grow up and am already looking forward to their next session!
