Michael and Laura, waiting for June

Michael and Laura's paths crossed back when they were very young. Their brother's used to play together and Laura was always somewhere in the mix. Off and on throughout high school their lives were intertwined and after high school they lost touch, until facebook! They reconnected there and the rest is history! The three of us hit up Centennial Lakes in Edina and had a great time chatting and photographing. They are naturals in front of the camera, and I look forward to their big day in June!

Andy and Kate- 05.16.09

I absolutely love my job. I really do.

It is so easy to do when you gt a beautiful couple like Kate and Andy! This couple truly had an amazing day to get married, the weather was perfect and the fun never stopped. We started the day off by shooting around the Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church and then hit up a few side streets and alleys for some street shots. After some strolling around, we hit up a school carnival where Andy showed Kate his rippling muscles and then headed back to the church. Following the ceremony we took a trolley around Lake Calhoun and then headed over to Calhoun Beach Club, where Kate's sister, maid of honor, and Andy's brother, best man, toasted to the new couple leaving no eye dry, including my own! Your love for one another is transparent; thank you for allowing me to document it, I was so touched and feel so blessed to be a part of your day!

On vacation

Just got back from sunny Flordia with my wonderful hubby. We left the kiddos at home and took a break from life for 6 wonderful days! As much as I love my family, it is always a blessing to be away and reconnect with Kevin. So I am back at it, plugging away, refreshed and caught up on sleep. At least for this week!

More photos to come from new events later this week!

Benjamin's first Birthday

In the Korean culture the first and 60the birthdays are most important. The first birthday signifies that the baby has made it through the first year and will have a long life. The 60the year represents that the person has had a long life and they are most truly blessed. I was able to be a part of one of the first birthday celebrations which included dancing, a marionette show, and of course birthday cake!
