{Hank} .fall 2012

A first look at Henry and those blue eyes and red hair draw you in.

Then he grins at you.

Blows you a kiss.

Gives you a hug.

And your heart is just melted.

Despite more hardships than anyone should have to endure before the age of 3 (much less before the age of 30), 

this little guy can sign to communicate, scoot along at quite the pace, and is just learning to walk.

And he has everyone wrapped around his little finger!

So glad we had a beautiful day to capture this blue-eyed redheaded babe! 

{Wedded} Alex + Liz

I approached the nearly-weds prior to their wedding, demanding some answers about the photography for 

their big day. Several parents and friends were taking family, wedding party, and ceremony photos, but was 

someone taking charge of some of the other important shots?

The Dress

Getting Ready

First Look

Bride & Groom

I was especially enamored with the idea of taking photos of Liz's wedding dress. Probably because she 

made it herself. From bodice to embellishments to layers of tulle. The personal touches made her look all the 

more beautiful.

The story of the day should be evident in all the 1.000 words of each of these photos. There was beauty, 

rain, repairs, Duluth, tears, laughter, love, tallness, kissing, and fun. Enjoy!

Graham | Minnehaha Falls

Minnehaha Falls holds one of my favorite adventure memories from days gone by.

Two of my best friends and I got lost trying to find parking (this was in the days before that nice parking lot - I think...) 

and then headed the wrong direction down the trail only to be rained on while we trekked back up the trail to find the Falls at a slow drip.

We took pictures, jumped in puddles, and then tried to warm our hands with the car's defroster.

On this trip, I drove right past the entrance to the parking lot because it was carefully hidden in the fifth turn of a round-about. 

This particular day was hot, humid, and filled with very different photo opportunities. 

And the Falls were bursting.

Graham is from Minneapolis born and raised and chose this location for his senior pictures.

He claims to hate photos, but was able to go along with all of our ideas and muster a smile along the way. 

Luckily we started with the tie and ended with TMNT. 

As we were finishing I laughingly commented, "Now all we need is a manhole cover!" And then we found one :)

Happy Graduation, Graham!
