Eric & Beth

This past week has been crazy!  In between planning yet another move, planning my baby's 1st birthday party, and all the other little tasks that life has, I've hardly been able to update!  

This past week I "second shot" a wedding in Owatonna.  Yup, this really is something I love!  I swear my camera has become a second appendage in the past year.  

Here are a few of my faves....

Congrats Eric & Beth!

2 tiny steps for man...

For the second time in the past week, Ingrid took two of the tinniest steps known to man (which I am convinced is just her trying to catch herself from falling).  Today she did it again!!  It truly is "Independence Day".  

In my opinion...

I HATE hot summer days.  I can appreciate certain aspects of summer.  Flowers, hiking, rainstorms, outdoor grilling, picnics, walks etc...but on days like today when I can hear my skin sizzling I just miss autumn & winter.  The good thing is, with this sweltering heat I feel like doing the exact same thing that I do on freezing days.  Wear sweat pants, and lay on the couch for hours just watching movies-which is exactly what I plan to do.

4 years

raToday Michael and I are celebrating our 4 year anniversary.  With the baby close by snoozing away, we plan to enjoy pizza & a movie (which you can find us doing almost any night of the week).  Tomorrow however we plan to party it up' classy style with some bowling, mini golf, and copious amounts of arcade games.  Yes, that's right-we're 12 at heart.  In my wildest imagination I could have never even hoped for someone as wonderful as my partner.  There is no doubt he is my equal (he vacuums the kleenex box....nuff' said!).  Here are a few pictures of us through out our years together.

Brayton Taylor

Emily and I have been friends since the third grade, we grew up together and since childhood have stayed good friends.  Her youngest son, Brayton, turns one in a few days.  I took his "1 year old" photos, and BOY is he a cutie!  Here is a sample of his cuteness:

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY BRAYTON!!

Another wedding!

This past weekend I got the chance to shoot another wedding-what a blast!  We had beautiful weather, and the bride and groom couldn't have been more adorable (and can I just add, I wouldn't mind being adopted by the bride's family......I've never felt so welcomed!!).  Here are a few preview pictures from our shoot!
