Spring is Here–At Least at the Shop

Wow, guys. This weather is fierce. I’m sitting on the couch tonight–as a fresh, four inches of snow, blankets the ground outside. (And, as my dog snores up a heckuva storm of his own, might I add.) Tomorrow’s weather is looking like a roller coaster of a day–bring on some rain, some sleet, some ice…

Schedule and Palettes :: Anoka Area Photographer

Hey there. 🙂 Tonight I’m just poppin’ in for a couple of random, photography update, quickies. First of all…my schedule is changing a bit in the upcoming future. I will not be scheduling new clients from August, through the turn of the year. Also, I will not be scheduling any weddings, even if you’re my…

Twin Cities Collective Photo Challenge :: Minnesota Photographer

Hello! I thought I’d pop in here quick tonight. 🙂 This time of year, around my blog, content feels lacking. (January, in Minnesota, typically leaves a Photographer quiet. I do have things on my plate…but, you’ll hear more about that later.) Anyway, this week I saw that Twin Cities Collective was hosting an Instagram photo…

Minnesota Co. Clothing Shoot :: Anoka Photographer

I just wanted to pop in here tonight to share a few of the images I recently shot while working with the Minnesota Co. — based in Anoka, MN.  Between Instagram giveaways, a recently launched website, a new blog, and ongoing social media postings…they needed some fresh shots of their best, cold-weather, MN apparel–which is…

Tweets and Blogs :: Minneapolis Family Photographer

Hello! I come here a lot…thinking about what to say, and then I realize the best things I have to say, lately, are poppin’ up over there —————> (and down a bit). I’m on Twitter, often, connecting with other Bloggers, Photographers, Minnesota folks, and friends. Every time I Tweet…it pops up over there. Also, I’m…

Whew! I Made It. Almost. :: Twin Cities Photographer

Who’s no where…yet everywhere, lately? Me. Because it’s December, and I am a photographer with my own clients, who also works in retail as a blogger, social media manager, email blast writer and creator, website updater and, of course, photographer.  (See old blog, about ‘other jobs’, here.)  This blog is going to focus on those…

Dammit Facebook, I’m a Lover, not a Hater.

Just FYI: I went ahead and deactivated my personal FB account. I didn’t do it lightly. I mean…I spent a few hours thinking about it. And, then the realization kicked in that if FB were real, I would have dumped them as a friend years ago.  They’re kind of an asshole. In case you’re curious…here…

Small Business Photography :: Twin Cities Area Photographer

So, a huge chunk of my photography business consists of working with small businesses.  When I team up with them, they can finally stop worrying about accidentally using copyrighted images for their business needs, or paying for generic stock photos that don’t really feel genuine to who they are.  I go in, we talk about…
