TWO Last Minute Minneapolis Boudoir Marathons!

A lot of demand has come in during the last 24 hours that I have decided to hold TWO Minneapolis Boudoir Marathons!  Marathon #1 will be December 29th and Marathon #2 will be January 3rd!  There are only FOUR slots available on each day and they are already filling up fast.  Email me quickly if you are interested!

UPDATE: I got a ton of inquiries for January 3rd and there didn't seem to be as much interest in December 29th so I have canceled the December 29th shoot and have added 3 sessions onto January 3rd!  There are just TWO SESSIONS LEFT!  

Chico, CA Boudoir and Lingerie Photographer : Ms. C's Nice/Naughty

When Ms. C came into my studio for her Christmas themed-boudoir session I'm not entirely sure she realized just how themed this session was going to be!  After taking a look at her wardrobe choices- a girlie pink teddy, a sexy black get-up, and her Christmas lingerie I realized we had a fantastic theme here- Naughty and Nice!  She loves the idea so we went with it, playing around with "nice", "naught", and then threw a little holiday cheer into the mix!  Needless to say, this Swedish beauty has a very lucky guy getting a fantastic gift this Christmas!

No more chat, onto the shoot! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FULL SESSION!


Chico, CA Engagement Photographer : Jeanella and Nasir in Muir Woods

Last week I traveled out to Muir Woods in Marin County to meet with Jeanella and Nasir for their engagement session.  It was a beautiful setting for a beautiful couple!  I love Destination Engagements and the red woods are so amazingly beautiful.   Here are just a few of my favorites from the session.  You will see much more of Jeanelle and Nasir because I am shooting BOTH of their weddings (yes, they are having two!).  So be sure to check back in January/February for wedding #1 and March for wedding #2!

This gorgeous tree is located just outside of Muir Woods.  It was way too amazing to not put them in front of!

Chico, CA Boudoir Photographer : Julie

Long time no see!  I apologize for the lack of updates as we've been working hard to set up and improve the studio.  I am happy to say it is ready to go and here for all of your photographic needs, especially for newborn and boudoir sessions.  In fact, we just had our first in-studio boudoir client this past month and I am so excited to share this beautiful session with you!

Julie is gorgeous!  She came into the session a little nervous but left saying she really enjoyed it.  As always, I warn boudoir clients that they may be a little sore after their session since you are using muscles you don't usually use and Julie said she was no exception.  You can really tell she's working it in these images.

Duluth, MN Wedding Photographer : Cara and Andrew Part 2

I mentioned in my first post that Cara and Andrew's wedding had an extremely special venue to both the bride and myself. YMCA Camp Miller is located on the shores of Sturgeon Lake, just 45 minutes south of Duluth, MN. It's not much, at least not compared to some of those huge summer camps out east, but since 1992 I've been calling Camp Miller my summer home. I spent a few years away before returning again this last summer to shoot the wedding of Cara and Andrew.

We jokingly said the theme of this wedding was burlap and twine, but it was much more than that. This vegan, eco-friendly wedding emphasized sustainability in a place that meant a lot to Cara to sustain. I love the details and all of the thought or preparation that Cara and Andrew put into their wedding day. Even the sister of the bride, Jody (another former Camp Miller counselor) got into the day by hand making all of the cupcakes! Enjoy!

Duluth, MN Wedding Photographer : Cara and Andrew

This wedding was one I have been looking forward to since I was booked to shoot it last  year.  Now don't get me wrong, I look forward to each and every single wedding I have.  Just this one sticks out due to the people and venue.  In many ways this wedding was like a little reunion for the bride and several of her family and friends... and me.  Back in 2000 I worked with Cara and her sister Jody (the blond bridesmaid) at the YMCA Camp Miller in Sturgeon Lake, MN.  It's at that camp, on 9/10/11, that Cara and her husband Andrew said "I Do". 

This is just a teaser.  There will be much, much more coming soon!


I was a little saddened to get to camp and see that they had already pulled out the swimming docks, which is where I'd planned to do a big chunk of the portraits.  But it ended up being OK, we make what little they had left work and I really love the results!
