Lending a hand...



This is Tyler Carroll.  I met him and Patrick Boll last Saturday when I was in Sioux Falls having some  Fall Mini-sessions.  Saturday was one of the most beautiful days at the Japanese Gardens.  They were having a Senior Session there as well.  As I was walking by, Patrick asked me if he could use my reflector.  He loved the location but there just wasn't enough light for the setting.  Of course, I jumped in to help out another photographer!  Tyler even allowed me to take a few shots of him.
As I was photographing Tyler, he played a song for me.  He's got talent!
This was my favorite image.  My goal was to capture his love of his guitar.  I hope that you can see his passion for music!  Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day!
To Patrick, thank you for asking!  Good luck to you on your ventures!

Trend Report:Over-The-Knee Boots

Trend Report:Over-The-Knee Boots

Most of you know that as I transition into Full-time photography, I'm working part-time at Macy's as a Merchandiser. The best part of my job is getting to see all the trends first hand as they hit the floor. This is one trend I might have to purchase this Fall season. I especially love this look with a short shirt and over-the-calf leggings from Hue. We just received a couple large assortments and it's really made it difficult for me to decide which pair to pick. Maybe 1 of every color?

Meet Chad, Angie and Ben.  This is the second time that I've taken their photographs.
Ben is very fast!  He stopped for only a moment just long enough to see if I was still there!!
What a Beautiful Family!
Big Blues!
He's a people watcher!
Adorable!!!

It can't get any better than a railroad track and a train!  Can it?

This was my first Minneapolis PUG Model Shoot.  It's a group of photographers that get together to share ideas and learn from each other.  It was an awesome time.
