Lovin' the Fall Colors

My fiancé & I were getting ready to take our Engagement photos - so I had to scout out the perfect location! Luckily I had my camera when I stumbled upon this beauty in South Minneapolis. It was so amazingly gorgeous I knew we just had to take our engagement photos here. The colors were exquisite and it is the perfect backdrop for some lovey-dovey photos :) I just love fall & this is my new favorite place.

Bachman's Gathering of Friends

Last weekend I went to the Bachman's Gathering of Friends antique sale. I was amazed with all of the gorgeous treasures people were selling!! It was a fabulous place to shop, spend the day & take some beautiful photographs!

Summer in the City

The snow is melting, the grass is getting greener & people are wearing shorts in 45 degree weather! That can only mean one thing in Minnesota -- Summer is on its way!!

To gear up for another wonderful season of summer weather & beautiful photo opportunities, here are a few of my favorite shots from past summers:

One of my favoite things to do on the weekends is to wake up early, and head down to the Como Zoo and Conservatory. This past Satuday was a perfect day to get down there with my camera, especially since the animals were awake and active (which isn't always the case!) Here are some of my favorites :: * * *

New Etsy shop is up and running!!

I haven't had a lot of time to go shoot lately, because I've been working on making my note cards for my new Etsy Shop I just opened! I am slowly working on building my products; right now I have a variety of photo note cards, but I'm hoping to have other products available soon! The note cards are all original photographs I have taken, mounted on heavy white card stock note cards with spray adhesive. Go HERE and check it out...let me know what you think! Here is a sample of some of the cards I've made.

Another great night for the Moon

The skies have been clear, and I've been able to get some great shots of the moon. I am going to try to eventually get a shot of the moon in each phase of its cycle.

Float like a Butterfly

Next week the Como Zoo is opening the Blooming Butterflies exhibit. It's a huge screened in structure that looks like a Caterpillar and is exploding with beautiful, colorful butterflies. . Its the perfect place for me to practice my macro photography, and work on different techniques. I think last summer I went almost every weekend! As you can guess, I'm highly anticipating the opening of the the Butterfly Garden next weekend. Here are some shots I took last summer:
