Side Trip To Duluth Minnesota With The Family – Part 2
We absolutely loved exploring Duluth and enjoyed the friendly locals. Even walking out at night felt safe, so I had the pleasure of photographing the harbor at night underneath a waxing moon. The aerial lift bridge at Duluth Harbor on Lake Superior was fascinating. There are only two of these bridges in the world (the…

The kids and I have never been to Duluth before, but my honeys went once when he was a teenager. It’s one of the top ranked cities in Minnesota and now I can appreciate why. It was absolutely gorgeous with buildings dating back to the 1800s and unending views of Lake Superior. I learned that…
Read MoreAnnual Fourth Of July Family Vacation In Minnesota
Every summer, my family makes the 1300+ mile drive up to northern Minnesota. We normally stop overnight in St. Louis, grab a few gooey butter cakes and bottles of my favorite barbecue sauce and then head out early the next morning.

Besides documenting the morning that their six month old twins got christened, it was an opportunity to make family portraits that Sarah knew she wanted to give as Mother’s Day gifts. My image box was perfect for this because all of the photographs…

As soon as we got into town, we checked into our room, dropped our bags and headed for the beach. We couldn’t wait to see the ocean. And only the girl child stopped on the tree long enough to pose for a photograph. I’m told she looks like me, but I don’t see it. There…
Read MoreHigh School Senior Photographs {Roswell, GA}
I met H late one afternoon a couple of weeks ago to make his senior photographs. We hiked some major hills through the woods to get to the ruins of an old paper mill. We talked about trips to Missouri and Minnesota. How we have family in both and the foods that are necessary to…
Read MoreHilton Head Birthday Weekend – Part 1
We had plans to go away for the weekend and visit friends. They fell through at the last minute, but then a sweet deal fell into our laps and the morning of a roadtrip…we decided to go to Hilton Head, South Carolina. Todd went decades ago, but I’ve never been. It’s been close to three…
