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,…
Minneapolis and St Paul (and the metro) have a huge range of cultures and food traditions to draw from, and as a metro area, we are really finding out own place in the food world.

I don’t really want to magic to end, I suppose. Which is to say, it’s taken me like a year to finally write about their lovely slightly rainy Minnesota lake wedding. We started at Nancy’s parents house, where rain kept us inside for photos, leading to my discovery that a rain drop sprinkled window is makes for a moody backdrop, even if Nancy and Tiffany had…
Norskedalen heritage center is a mouthful to pronounce and a place you would never just stumble into, but the preserved farm houses and shelters make for amazing views of the hills in all directions. And those hills made for an amazing backdrop for late night fireworks illuminated by the misty evening.
Its only a part of their love story – one location out of many, one day out of thousands. But it was a hell of a celebration, and the marking of a great partnership.
Long before Meredith and Kevin had their Theodore Wirth Wedding, they made a series of huge life moves together – finding each other just before Meredith moved to Malawi, living to gether in Malawi and eloping at a local courthouse, moving back to Minnesota and celebrating with their families at an intimate bruch wedding at Theodore Wirth Chalet. Through all those large shifts in geography and culture and time, Meredith and Kevin have clearly found something stable and timeless in each other. Their combination of careful planning and joyful spontenaeity clearly balances out throughout their adventures together. And they can’t help but have huge…
