Fashion Shoot for Herlife Magazine | Amy Zellmer, Twin Cities photographer

Last month I was asked to photograph a Fashion Shoot for Herlife Magazine for their Trendsetter spread. I was pretty nervous, as I had never done a “Fashion Shoot” before, but was super excited to take on the task!! and I am so glad I did because I had a BLAST!!  The entire team was SO easy to work with and the images turned out amazing!! The magazine itself is a beautiful, glossy magazine that I am proud to be a part of 🙂

It was a hot, sunny day and we were fortunate enough that stormy cloud cover came in and saved the day!! It cooled off a bit, and allowed us beautiful natural light outside on Grand Avenue. It didn’t start raining until we were in our cars driving home!!

thanks to everyone I worked with on this amazing shoot:

The clothing featured was from Karma on Grand Ave in St. Paul.
Hair and makeup by Simonson’s Salon and Spa
Amazing model Tearra Rosario from  Wehmann Models & Talent

Megon’s Pregnancy & Isabell’s Newborn Sessions | Amy Zellmer, Photographer

I was so excited to meet little Miss Isabell for her newborn session! I had photographed her mommy a few weeks earlier for her pregnancy photos. This is her fourth and likely final baby, and she hadn’t done any pregnancy photos before. I am SO glad you decided to, they turned out beautiful!!

What a truly wonderful family to work with, I wish I could clone them 10 times over!!! It was a pleasure getting to know Megon and her clan, and I hope to see them many more times!!

Dog Days of Fall | Carver-Scott Humane Society Fundraiser

This will be my 6th time doing this great fundraiser for the Carver-Scott Humane Society. It is hugely popular so you will want to secure your reservation early, as space is limited!!

Receive a FREE session and 5×5 fine art print of your pet with the donation of premium dog or cat food or kitty litter (no generic please).

We will be accepting sessions for Sat. and Sun. Oct. 27 & 28. Sessions will be scheduled every 15 minutes, allowing us to get you in and out without your pet encountering another animal (although sometimes there is overlap and it does happen).

We will gladly accomodate a photo of you and your pet, however, the free image is of your pet alone. We can also accomodate multiple animals in one session,  you will only receive one free image for the session.

Brandon’s Senior Portraits | Shakopee Portrait Photographer

He is a really great kid, and was a rockstar at having his photo taken!! (some boys can be a challenge, but not Brandon!) Here is a sneak peek at his session, I think they turned out awesome 🙂

Shara & Chris = Married | Twin Cities Wedding Photographer

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Shara and Chris’ gorgeous wedding. They had the most perfect weather for their day, including bright blue skies and white whispy clouds.

They were surrounded by truly amazing family and friends. I have to say they were by far one of the easiest groups I have had to work, and they were a large group! It makes my job so much easier when everyone is on time and cooperative, even the guys didn’t complain once (that I heard at least!)

I have known Shara for several years through a mutual friend, so her wedding day felt very comfortable and easy for me. It is so simple to see that her and Chris are an amazing  couple, and that makes my job SO easy!! Chris kept saying how he hates having his photo taken, but man did he rock it!!

I had some extra time in their wedding schedule to play around with some fun lighting and creative stuff. And we were totally blessed with a rockin sunset during the reception!!

A big thank you to Rousey Johnson III for being my assistant!! and to some of the other great vendors: Buttercream, Waconia Ballroom & Lancer Catering.

Thank you Shara & Chris for having me be a part of your wonderful day 🙂

Olivia’s Newborn Session | Twin Cities Baby Photographer

Little Olivia came in for her newborn session a few weeks ago, and was absolutely adorable! Newborns are such a great session, definitely one of my personal favorites to photograph. They are so tiny, precious, sweet, and innocent. I met her parents at the St. Francis Baby Fair this summer, and it was so wonderful to work with them and meet baby Olivia! Here is a sneak peek!

A Mother & Daughter Session | Twin Cities Portrait Photographer

Daniella and Katherine came in for a very special session, one that makes me truly realize why I do what I do. I am here to capture people’s memories, memories that they will cherish for a lifetime. Memories that mean so very much, especially at milestones and occassions.

Katherine went thru breast cancer surgery in May and is currently undergoing radiation therapy. Daniella just recently moved to Colorado, and wanted to get photos done while she was in town. I have been photographing Daniella’s beautiful family for six years and have really gotten to feel like a part of their family. It was such an honor to document these very special images for them, images that I know mean so very much. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it 🙂

Dane & Erin’s Wedding | Twin Cities Wedding Photographer

I was so super excited to be a part of Dane & Erin’s wedding day!! I have known Dane for well over 10 years, we used to work with each other at Chilis Eagan back in the day! He was a cook and I was a bartender. I worked there for five years and have remained friends with a good handful of people I worked with over the years, and have 3 official Chilis weddings under my belt!!

I first met Erin two years ago when I photographed their baby, Logan’s, newborn photos. He was so handsome at his parent’s wedding, sporting his tux and fancy sneakers!!

It means so much more to photograph a wedding when there is a personal connection to it, and I am so completely blessed to know each and every one of my couple’s that I am photographing this year!!! Some are friends of friends, some are past clients, and some are employees! It’s been a great year so far and is only going to get better and I roll into the thick of my wedding season!!

Enjoy the sneak peek of their wedding 🙂  They are only my second wedding ever to be blessed with a rainbow during the reception!!!
