Bringing the Minneapolis skyline into your engagement photos brings a sense of place for portraits. This can be especially fun if your wedding day won’t include time for skyline portraits, or if you are getting married elsewhere. If Minneapolis is important for the two of you, then there are many ways to bring it into your couple photos. Here are several spectacular spaces for bringing the Minneapolis Skyline into your engagement photos, along with some of the best spots and things to consider for these locations.

Somewhere in the middle of the engagement session, Patrick asked me “but how do you get us to look, like, natural and not posed?” I told him what I always tell people – that is my problem. You don’t have to worry about it. Because being in the moment allows photos to look natural. That is how I take natural looking photos. The most simple answer and the most complicated answer all in one. Give me all your photo hangups, all your “we never look good in photos because of” and “what ifs” – let me hold those, like an…
I offer SHORT portrait sessions at Minnehaha Falls every Thursday evening when the weather is nice. Your time is precious, but so are portraits. The SHORT portrait sessions are designed give your portraits a stylish update without dragging down your schedule. One of the best trends in portrait photography has been the rise of the budget photographer. Why? Because it has meant that professional photographers have had to up their game – getting usable images used to be good enough, and now my iphone has a better camera on it than my first professional SLR. It means that everybody’s headshots,…
Updated portraits with a storytelling edge to tell the story of your brand. What you look like, and what you are like to work with One thing I have learned from working with magazines and advertisers to document food and people is this: people like to have stories about businesses where they spend their money. It doesn’t matter if you are a cheesemaker, a musician, or a financial adviser (or a photographer!) – people want to have a story that they can relate to when they do business. Portraits should feel candid and alive, showcasing not only what you look…
First Ave Engagement Photos, a love affair with Purple Rain, and a puppy that deserves all the treats So excited to share these First Ave Engagement Photos of Megan and Jay. I’m always excited to celebrate Minneapolis, and engagement photos are perhaps the best way to do that – to walk around the spaces we care about, to find the best ways to tell stories about people and places and connections. Thanks, Megan and Jay, for a wonderful afternoon, for bringing your hilarious dog and enough bacon for him to love me, and for picking such great spots to walk…
When life hands you rain, you make rainy Minneapolis engagement portraits. Or, much more poetically: Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. Langston Hughes So, yeah, sometimes adventure means a bit of rain. And then, it is not enough to make it work – it is not enough to play with an umbrella and show off the droplets. You must embrace it and enjoy it. An unexpected rain storm is perhaps the most fun part of the adventure of engagement photos. So thank you,…
Look, I get it. You’ve probably been doing a lot of things in your life that don’t involve looking natural and fantastic in front of a camera. I hope that when you dance at a concert with your friends, for example, or run a 5k, or have a movie night at home with your sweetie, that you don’t consider for a moment if you look fantastic, but instead how it feels to be with people you love. But I’m sure that sometimes you do look natural, and fantastic, and gorgeous doing those things. And I love proving it. Case in…
