The weather this week in August was a little weird. It had been in the 90s until the day I flew into Minneapolis several days before Kimber + Devlin’s wedding, at which point it dropped into the 60s. Rain clouded the forecast. For days on end. And then it miraculously shaped up, the temperatures climbed…

I drove ahead of Devlin + Kimber and had time to set up lights in the Firehouse Room of the Happy Gnome before going back outside to meet them when they walked up. This gnome sits outside of this fine establishment, waiting to greet every guest. We made a few portraits outside of the Happy Gnome. Then we…

There were many things to do in Destin. Parasailing. Water parks. Jet ski rentals. Fishing expeditions. Zip lining. The typical tourist attractions. We chose to go on a two hour sunset dolphin cruise through AJ’s Water Adventures. I think that was the best money we spent all week. The three guys who captained the cruise and…

Last month, I drove two hours to the North Georgia mountains to make Claire and Will’s engagement photographs. Will’s folks and grandparents live up there, so we used his parent’s home as home base for a meeting place, outfit changes, and ending with dinner preparations. We headed out to Lake Vogel with their dog Luna…
Read MoreThis weekend, I drove up to the North Georgia mountains for Claire and Will’s engagement session. After a week in the 30s and 40s, the weather could not have been more perfect. The light was beautiful. It did amazing things in Claire’s hair. Along with the wind. We stopped briefly at Sunrise Grocery to pick…
Read MoreI spent the last week in Minnesota. The state sent me home with snow on the ground, which I thought was a lovely sendoff for this trip. It was so beautiful. And when I got home, it was 40 degrees warmer which necessitated the peeling off of multiple clothing layers and driving with the windows…
