Greg & Christine and a Blizzard toast!

This wedding in Duluth was really fun! The group photos were before the ceremony, so to relax inbetween the pictures and the ceremony, chocolate Blizzards were had by all! Greg and Christine toasted to each other chocolate Blizzards in hand :)

I got this wonderful photo of Chris and her grandmother:

This ring bearer, by the way, is one of the cutest I have seen!

The ceremony was beautiful... and then Greg and Chris took off in this gorgeous vehicle!

Here is Greg's uncle in the driver's seat!All of their photos will be up on Friday!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Next up - Jessi and Tyler and Payge and John! I'm heading down to the Cities to shoot a wedding there this weekend, so I'll post some stuff on Monday....

A vacation, a bonfire, and a MOOSE!

Ok - so I went on a little (very) vacation to my parents' house in Monona. The photo above is a shot of a river I have always driven by on my way to Madison. I've never had the time to take a photo, but I got one this time!

It was really nice to go and see my family. The real reason I went was to see the dentist - yes, I drive 6 hours for a DENTIST - but I have some issues with drills to say the least :). After that was done, though, we got to hang out in my Mom's garden, go to the Madison Farmer's Market and the Dog Park, and sit around a bonfire at my sister Molly's new house. My Mom and I also went to some awesome thrift stores! I am absolutely obsessed with thrift stores - I found some incredible finds, including a Patagonia fleece for 20 cents!! It was REALLY fun and extremely relaxing.

These are some shots from the garden:Flora (Scout's girlfriend :) ) at the Dog Park:The Farmer's Market in Madison:The campfire:The most interesting thing that happened, though, happened on Scout and I's nightly walk around the block. We turned a corner to pass our neighbor's house. I thought to myself, man is it DARK. I couldn't see anything. It was misty, so I thought for a split second that maybe the streetlight was out. Then I realized that something was turning towards me. All of a sudden I realized that it was pitch back because a HUGE bull moose's rack was blocking the light!! It was literally 5 FEET from us and walking up to us. I completely freaked - not because I was scared, but because I have never ever ever seen one, and its been my dream to see one up close. This was a bit more than I bargained for, though!!!! I booked it back to the house dragging poor Scout by his leash, crashed through the front door and screamed "THERE IS A F-ING MOOSE UP THE STREET". We ran to the pickup, got the spotlight, I hastily got my camera and my flash, and we called another friend, the game warden, and our friend Lucas who was on patrol that night. (For those of you who don't know, my husband is a cop in Bayfield... and we didn't want poor Lucas getting phone calls about crazy people in pickups shining spotlights in yards.)

We drove the half block around the corner and there he was munching on grass in the Park Service lawn. He was NOT happy we showed up, so the only photos we have are these HORRIBLY embarrassing ones, which is why they are at the end of this blog lol. I took them from a MOVING pickup truck while hanging out the passenger window. You can kind of see his rack, but it doesn't do justice to how truly large he was... It does show, however, that I will do pretty much anything to get a photo - including hanging out a car window ;)

Molly's Senior photos in Bayfield, WI!

These photos were super fun to shoot! We went to the Apostle Island's Rentals and their real estate office, and we went to Bayfield's Memorial Park. It almost started to rain, but we made the best of it :)

I had a BLAST doing some cool special effects on a few of them, and I loved being able to have the ferry in the background!

Naomi & Chris on Madeline Island!

I got to photograph Naomi and Chris on Madeline Island about 2 weeks ago. Their wedding was beautiful and Naomi looked absolutely stunning in her dress!! Seriously - I couldn't figure out which photos to post because I like so many of them!! A sailboat even went by right at the first kiss...

Their little boy was so cute and I have some fantastic shots of him looking very handsome in his little suit :)

They were also kind enough to walk in VERY cold Lake Superior :)Thank you Naomi and Chris!!! It was awesome to meet the two of you and your families. Your slideshow will be up in the next few days!

So I have taken a bit of a posting break - but there has been a lot going on... One the couples I photographed earlier this year have been featured in the newest Minneapolis St Paul wedding guide! I haven't seen a copy, as I am in the middle of nowhere, but I hear it looks great!

Let me know if anyone sees it :)
