Madi's Baptism! Fish Lake Lutheran Stark MN

My co-worker and good friend of mine asked me to take her daughter Madi's photos during her Baptism at Fish Lake Lutheran Church in Stark MN on May 22nd. What an awesome day it turned out to be, the spring trees were just starting to drop their pedals which made for an AWESOME back drop in the photos and I'm so happy the rain showers stayed away till the VERY last photo too, it was PERFECT!! I had such a great time with Madi and her family, getting to know the god parents and meeting the Grandparents, and Miss Madi was so fun to take photos of with that awesome smile of hers! Thank you guys again for having me be a part of her day!!! I enjoyed meeting you all!!! And CONGRATS Madi!!

Braham MN Prom

The Braham Prom photos of 2011 was probably my biggest project yet! I had to learn everything from how to make an order form to setting up an online site to purchase photos this project took me about 4 months from start to finish. It wasn't all about just taking the photos too, there was a lot of thought into how to pose the students, the timing of everything, and the manipulating of the photos, ordering photos and organizing again all the correct photos in each envelope. It was a MAJOR project, but I LOVED every second of it! And I'm pretty sure I will be asked back next year!!! Which I'm so excited about! I would like to send out a VERY BIG THANK YOU TO "Kirsten Pike" for giving me this opportunity!!! I had such a great time and learned a lot during this shoot. Other big THANK YOU's I would like to send out is to Lisa Timm for all the time and helpful advice she put into this for me, and Kinzie Longley for helping us out during the event!! And a special "Thank You" from me to each student for having me!! I hope you all enjoy your photos....THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART BRAHAM STUDENT!!!

Samantha & Davids Wedding ~ April 11th 2011

WOW is all I have to say about this wedding!!! I don't think I've ever been to a wedding that was this big and perfect, everything went so smooth!! And what an amazing couple... they were so cute!!! I shot this wedding with Connie Deflorin from Expressive Studios. The thing I absolutely love about doing weddings is that you get to know the couple and each click you do with the camera, you get to see & capture that love they have for each other, it's such an amazing thing to be a part of. And their family was just as amazing too, the speech the grooms father gave, made both Connie and I get tears witnessing that, it was very, very moving!!! It was a story book wedding with great engery!!!! Please check out Connie's beautiful photos too at http://www.expressivestudios.net/2011/04/samantha-and-davids-wedding.html
