Sam is one of my former students. I have photographed her family for YEARS! She is an amazing person. I am so proud of who she is and can’t wait to see how she continues to grow.

We started shooting at 6:15pm and the sun was PERFECT for this shot. It almost looks fake.

The Lord bless and keep you. May His face shine upon you and give you peace. XOXOXO

p.s. Sam, I had to put this one with the chickens in for you. lol.

Lindsey is just beautiful. We spent time at St Anthony Main and Nicolette Island Pavillion and then headed to the Schmidtt Music wall.

This pictures is for Mike, Lindsey’s boyfriend, who I’m told has the most amazing bass voice. Lindsey misses you, Mike, and she and her mom couldn’t stop talking about how amazing you are.

Lindsey and Colleen, I had a blast hanging out with you both and hope to work with you again…soon.

Taylor was so much fun to photograph. There was a bit of sarcasm involved and lots of laughter.

T, you’re a great guy. I look forward to hearing about all that you accomplish.

Today, I had the pleasure of hanging out with Michael Pearce Donley (think Hugh Butternut from Triple Espresso - you know…”a highly caffeinated comedy”) for a couple of hours. Mike is a gifted artist and a fantastic person. He and his family are wonderful people and I am honored to have them as friends.

I love this one where Mike is laughing because THIS is how I see him. He is a down-to-earth, fun-loving guy.

Here are a few of my favorites. It was hard to narrow down the photos because, as you can see, Mike is full of expressions! Love it!

Esme is a smiley, happy little girl.

I have the pleasure of photographing her every three months.

I’m the luckiest!
