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?

Little Ben

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.

Don't you just love the details on this dress!  The flowers complete the look!
