I had another wonderful wedding last weekend over at the Como Conservatory. I had shot weddings there before -- so lovely! -- but I had never been at a reception there. Quite a lovely space! Anyway, that up there is just one sneak peek image -- it will probably be a week or so before I can pull together a full take.As it sounds, things around HQ are super busy this week as I'm wrapping up a bunch of work (so! many! cats!), preparing birthday gifts (my man celebrates another year this weekend!) and packing the whole family up for a long weekend in Ohio with friends. I am beyond excited for the short vacation, but there's a lot to get done before we step onto that plane. Not to worry though. I'm sure flying with a wiggly toddler will be perfectly enjoyable (cough, cough).And today on the internet I found...These shoes which I adore because since I tore my calf muscle last spring, heels are not really working in my favor anymore.Wonderful, free fonts? Don't mind if I do, thanks.And millions of people who say they love connecting on Facebook, but have never been on the internet. Oh yeah.
From dogs to cats, eh?Today I photographed three cats (not at the same location), and this guy here was hilarious. This was the very first frame because this was the look I got the first time he heard my shutter click. Too funny! I love that expression.Maybe later, I'll do a full cat post so you can see my favorite images of the felines (since I'm so obviously pro-dog over here), but I'll need to wait for client approval on that one.For your internet share of the day, I have a few. First: 
I got up super early yesterday morning and met this boy up here (and his mom) out in "the country" for a photo session. It was about the best start to a Monday I could have asked for! What a cutie! We had fields and fields of wild flowers and trails through the woods and all kinds of pretty spots to choose from.And photographing happy dogs romping leash-free in the wilderness is THE BEST.Besides that, I've been working a ton except for this morning when I took a break to go to the doctor for my annual checkup. Poked, prodded and now flu-vaccinated, I'm back at it (a little tender in the arm though).
For your internet share of the day, I'll be thinking about 
This morning was one of my few cat shoots of the year, and I had so much fun! This little lady was actually far friendlier than she appears in the photo, but I got lots of expressions during the shoot. This picture was one of my favorites.Then tonight, Jamie and I went to the Twins game, which was super fun! It was my only game this season, and we were gifted tickets in the hoity toity Legends Club section of the stadium. It was so fancy! (And fun!). I highly suggest it (especially if the tickets are freebies).For your internet share of the day, how about 
Today I was doing a few last-minute product shots for 
This week, I had an early shoot with a lovely family over near the lake. I asked them to come right around sunrise, which I always feel bad about. But seriously, look at that light! It is totally worth getting up a touch early for that gorgeousness right there.I don't know if you can see the morning fog or not, but it was quite lovely.This week has been pretty tough, otherwise. Ezra is having a really hard time with two teeth coming in at once, and I am a bit under the weather with fevers etc and work has been insanely busy (which is great! and stressful! and fun! and hard!). It's nothing major, just a lot of little things.And I read this article which was depressing as hell, but still fascinating. If you have ever thought you should be skinnier for how much you are working out or are eating, 
Did you guys try to take photos of the blood moon the other day? I didn't, but I've tried in the past to photograph the moon, and I just can't seem to get it right. I really need to practice, and it's on my to-do list. But the night of the super moon, I did head down to the lake to watch the moonrise and I did bring my camera. I didn't put too much thought into it, so I just had the lens that was already mounted (a 35mm), but I loved the reflection on the water in this image. Obviously, not the moon so much (since I cropped it out).I'll try again soon!For your internet shares of the day, 
Remember last week when I was designing that book? It came! And it is looooooovely. I know we all look at photos on our phones and computers all day long. But there is something so wonderful about holding a photo in my hands and seeing it on paper. And in a book? Even better!Many people ask me who I use to print my albums, and it really depends on the project. But for things close to my heart, I opt for
