A big fat sneak peak for the D Fam because I had way too much fun at their session. Ben is another photographer friend of mine (yes, about 99% of my friends are photographers, it’s kind of wacky) and I met him and his family at Richardson Nature Center in Bloomington one evening. The weather threatened storms but turned out to be quite perfect for photos and we had the area pretty much to ourselves.

(In case you are wondering, the nature center has lots of frogs but no alligators…that we could find anyway.)

I did not steal either of the kids to take home with me, although I was pretty tempted and might reconsider sometime soon. Thanks for a fun session, guys!

Just a quick post to share the remaining holiday cards that didn’t make it into the first entry about cards and mini-sessions.

And with that, I think I’m off to bed!

Good morning internets! It’s 8.08.08! That means I am actually in Faribault right now, shooting a wedding, but thanks to the magic that is my blog software, this post can still appear (I hope). And aren’t you glad, because this post is here to tell you about my 8.08.08 Crazy Eights Special.

Book a session between now and Sunday night and pay only $88 for your session fee. And because eights are fun,* I’ll throw in a free 8×8 print and a sheet of 8 wallets. Just mention the Crazy Eights special when you contact me!

*I actually like fives better but I had other things on my agenda on 5.05.05.

Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to shoot a wedding at the Semple Mansion with Daniel Snow. The Mansion is a beautiful location and the wedding was beautiful as well. I wanted to share a few quick shots while I’m in between editing sessions!

So many things I want to post and so little time with so much to do in it! One thing at a time…

It’s hard to believe that it’s time to start thinking about fall and the holidays when we’re at near 90 temperatures and the kids are spending afternoons running through the sprinklers but it’s true. Time just flies. So a few scheduling items…

Fall/Winter scheduling (Sept-Dec) is now open. Sessions requiring holiday delivery must be completed by November 2nd and orders must be submitted by November 9th. I will still be booking sessions during the remainder of November and December but cannot guarantee holiday delivery for the remaining sessions.

Oh yes, a mini-session…a quick and fun way to get custom Christmas cards! Cards are 5×7 folded (with a few 5×5 exceptions) and professionally printed front and back on linen cardstock. I’m considering adding an additional mini-session date in a more urban location (think downtown) so leave a comment or drop me a note if you’re interested in that and I’ll see what turns out.

Previous and upcoming full-session clients may also order holiday cards.

A quick sampling of some of the cards I will be offering this year (there will be ten designs total so this is just a partial sample):

Only 144 shopping days left! Book soon! :)

(I added the rest of the holiday card samples here.)
