Engagement Session - Cullen & Breanna

We had a great little engagement session with Cullen and Breanna. They came out to the farm a little later than we usually shoot and it was fun for me to find some new ways that the light falls a little later in the evening. I love how the sunlight passes through the green of the spring leaves. It creates such a warm glow to things.

We're also in the prime of the flowering tree season. We're lucky enough to have ten flowering apple trees on the farm and they provide some great backdrops for photos.

It is a big week for Cullen and Breanna. Cullen is off to NCAA Nationals in the 1500meters. Then college graduation on Sunday. Best of luck with all that. I am really excited to shoot their wedding in August!!

Engagement Session - Jessica & Kyle

Jess and Kyle came down for a little pre, pre, pre wedding engagement session. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. I am really excited to be doing their wedding in 2010. They were one of the first 2010 bookings from way back when. Things are really filling up quickly now.

ESession - Lindsay & Chad

I got a few photos on earlier, but wanted to add a couple more since the rest of them are in their wedding gallery area now. We had a great time at Como Park, though our plan was to go in the Conservatory. However they wanted $25 for a half hour of shooting and they couldn't use the bathroom!??! Funny.

We went down the road by the lake and got some great shooting in. I am really excited to do their wedding coming up! It's going to be a great day!

Dan & Amanda's ESession

It was a little breezy and rainy, but we got some great shots with Dan and Amanda at the farm. I am really excited to shoot their wedding in a couple weeks. It's going to be a great one.

A Busy Tuesday

Had a personal day from school and spent the day in the the cities. Shot the final session of the 2009 MN FFA State Convention at Northrup Auditorium at the University of Minnesota. This has become a yearly tradition for me since my wife works for MN FFA. Throughout the year, I am fortunate to photograph many events for FFA and love working with those kids. This is also the day that the state officers for the upcoming year are announced which is always exciting. It's sad to see the past year's officers go, but I can't help but think about all the times new officers will be in front of my cameras over the next year.





Following the Convention, I headed off to Como Park for Lindsay and Chad's engagement session. We had a great time on this beautiful, sunny, spring day and got some great photos. I am anxious for their wedding coming up in June!!

Also got two more client meetings in following this session, so like the title says...it was a busy, but really productive Tuesday for me!!

ESession - Nick+Rachael

Okay, it was an eventful morning here. Many of you know that we are due with baby#2 later in October, however the doctor said this last week that we are ready to go anytime. Well, anytime appeared to be this morning at say, 2AM!! Got ready to go and all but had the truck in drive heading out when things slowed down. Called doctor back and said to wait it out a bit.

That continued all morning and finally Leah said, "just go". Nothing is going to happen here.

Well that gave me a chance to get out on a great shoot with Nick and Rachael in Northfield. We had a wonderful little walk by the river in the morning light.

Got some amazing photographs.

I am so excited to shoot their wedding next summer...they love to smile, laugh and just be together!!

Enjoy the photos.
