Charlotte’s Trash the Dress Session | Minneapolis Boudoir Photographer

Charlotte’s Trash the Dress Session

Charlotte came in last week for a Trash the Dress session . I know most people commonly associate a TTD session with a wedding dress, but it can be ANY dress really!! I have done wedding, prom, bridesmaid and plain ol’ cocktail dresses!!

TTD sessions can be done for numerous reasons as well. Some are to celebrate their wedding, some a divorce, others it’s just plain FUN and others yet are to feel SEXY, as in Charlotte’s case!! She had a smokin’ hot black velvet dress with thigh high stockings and high heels! It was the most perfect day out and we got some totally amazing images!!

if you’re interested in a Trash the Dress session , we are running a special promotion now thru Sept. 15th. For only $249 you will receive your session and a mini accordian album!! Call the studio to schedule, space is super limited and it will only be warm for a few more weeks šŸ™

Brad Tabke For Shakopee Mayor | Shakopee Photographer

Brad Tabke For Shakopee Mayor

One of my fellow Chamber members and friend, Brad Tabke , is running for Shakopee Mayor and asked if I would take photos for him to use on his website. I was honored and excited to do this for him and offer him support in this way! He wanted to portray his young family in the images in a casual environment at home, so that is what we did!

Please remember to get out and vote on November 8th!!!

Kate + Dan = Wedding Bliss | Twin Cities Wedding Photographer

Kate + Dan = Wedding Bliss

This weekend I had the honor of being asked to second shoot a wedding for Mark Teskey. It is always a great feeling to have another photographer love your work enough to want you to work with them.

Kate and Dan are both avid bicyclists and incorporated a vintage Schwinn tandem bike into their wedding, riding it off from the ceremony to their reception! It was really a super cool experience to chase after them to capture the coolest moments!

I have far too many favorites but here is a sneak peek for you!

Alex & Cole & Lauren Mini Session | Shakopee Portrait Studio

Alex & Cole & Lauren Mini Session

I always love seeing my former college roommate, Kari, and her children! She honestly has the most well-behaved and helpful boys I have ever met! They were such amazing big-brothers to their little sister who wasn’t so sure about the session! The held her and helped her keep calm, it was really quite adorable! I am so happy for her and her beautiful family!! I love how the universe aligns us with people when we have lost touch after college!! Here is a sneak peek of their session!
