post by leslieToday I'm going to show more photos from that amazing wedding last weekend. The weather was stunning, but not as gorgeous as that beautiful bride! My favorite thing about these images is that you can clearly see the love and adoration these two have for each other. They could not keep their hands off of each other, and I loved it! Enjoy!
Well, something super exciting happened a few weeks back. One of my very favorite bloggers (which you'll recognize because I link to her recipes almost weekly over here), had a baby. And she wanted me to come over and document her little girl! And I might just have squealed at my desk when the email came in! Did you hear me all the way in St. Paul? You might have.Anyway, I've been reading her blog for years and years and years (and cooking her dinners for that long as well), so I was thrilled. Today I'm showing you the photos from that session, and at the bottom of the post I'm sharing a video I made for this couple.Obviously, you guys know by now how much fun these videos are for me to make. But newborns? Oh how I love capturing them on video! The cries! The wiggles! The funny faces! Enjoy.
As you can imagine, I'm out photographing families a lot these days -- in fact, I have six left to photograph this week! But it has been so much fun. Capturing these moments both for keepsakes as well as holiday cards is a really nice way for me to hang out with fun kids as well as enjoy all the gorgeous fall color.This session was a few weeks back, but the light and color were so great that I wanted to share a few images. 
And now for a few internet shares of the day:+ This time lapse of braces working is fascinating! It also makes me want to get my teeth fixed.+ I found another illustrator that I love. When I was the art director for vita.mn, I was always hunting for illustrators for the magazine cover. Now I still peruse them, but it has to really hit me in the gut to take notice. (The Lord Among Wolves series is A+!)+ I've been thinking about making this pasta for about two weeks.+ Be a voter. Save America.
This weekend I got to photograph a friend's wedding (the best kind of wedding!). It was so gorgeous and sweet, and the couple were just so thrilled to be together that I didn't have to pose them even once. They just couldn't stop snuggling in and being giddy with each other! Which is thrilling for me!Besides it being a gorgeous day and it being my friends, it was also the first wedding Ezra has ever been invited to, so later this week you might get to see a photo of him in a tie. Because who can resist that?!?I have 3000 photos (literally) to dig through from this day, so it might be awhile before you see the full blog post, but please enjoy this sneak peek.And now for your internet shares of the day:+ This story about the current generation taking the bold move of dating without texting made me laugh. Here's hoping I never ever ever have to date again!+ A wonderful story of Lake Superior returning what it took.+ A new cooking show that sounds right up my alley.
A few weeks ago, before Canada and before my Day in the Life session, I got to photograph this adorable puppy named Murphy. He only weighs FOUR POUNDS! He was like a kitten, but a dog instead! So adorable!
This morning I had a shoot with the most adorable baby girl! Look at those cute toes! Not only did I get to take her photos, but I got to do a video as well, which I'm super excited to get started on!No other updates around here. It's been dreary and raining here all week, which has meant daily fires in the fireplace, long evening meals of soup and bread, and Jamie and I catching up on PBS murder mysteries like we're already 65. And it's been wonderful.
So... my clients came up to the North Shore for images of, you know, their families in front of Lake Superior. We all know this is my favorite lake to photograph and my enthusiasm for this slice of Minnesota runs strong. But on a day when clients have worked hard to get the perfect hair, this wind was NOT APPRECIATED AT ALL.Except when my family sessions were done and I focused on just taking photos of the water. Then I loved it! Here are a few of those images. Enjoy.
Also, have you noticed my lack of internet shares? Well, this country is depressing the hell out of me right now, and frankly, not even the internet can win me over.The climate, the greed, the asshole in charge, sexual predators voted into the Supreme Court, the crowds that laugh when assault victims are ridiculed... I mean, if this is what this country is, it makes me want to leave. So there's a window into my emotions right now, and I'm not sure you want that sort of rainbows and sunshine filtered through my internet shares. Maybe I'll be better in a few weeks. We'll see.
post by leslieI spent the weekend on the North Shore with my clients doing family mini sessions, and the color was *astounding*. The weather? A bit chillier, damper and windier than I prefer, but I think we got some good photos regardless. Next year we'll have to say collective prayers to the weather gods.This image is just looking up during a shoot with a family on Sunday morning. Yeah, that color was that good. You'll see more of the water later in the week, but for now, I gotta hit the road to get back to the cities for this week's shoots! Back to reality it is...
