Griffin Thomas- 5 Months




























Griffin is a regular of mine!! It's been so fun to watch him grow up over the past 5 months. Each time I photograph him he gets more and more animated. He was very happy and giggly this morning but he made his mommy work for his smiles. She was doing all kinds of funny things to get him going but it worked and we got some great photos.

Jesse & Amber






I always love engagement sessions with my future wedding clients. Its such a fun time to get to know them as a couple and interact with them before the big day!! Amber just moved back to Minnesota from being away at college. To start off their new beginning in MN, Amber and Jesse wanted to get their enagement pictures done. They will be getting married in October of 2007. Jesse and Amber were very relaxed and fun loving around eachother...always sneaking in quiet little moments to themselves inbetween photos. I can't wait to photograph their wedding this fall !!

James Landon




Little James Landon just turned 3 months old this week. To celebrate mom and dad wanted him to be photographed! We started bright and early at 9am and James was not camera shy. We had a good hour session and by the time I left he was snoozing soundly in his swing!

2007 Diamond Awards












































On January 25, 2007 I had the privilege to photograph the 2007 Diamond Awards. This event is put on by the University of Minnesota and the Bob Allison Ataxia Foundation. The goal of this event is to raise money for research on Ataxia since there is no cure. Bob Allison was a great baseball player for the Twins and after he retired he was diagnosed with this disease. This neurological disease caused Bob to not be able to walk and eventually unable to talk as well. After 8 years Bob lost his battle to Ataxia. It was his families vision to start a reasearch fund for this illness so that others may have a chance at a cure. The MN Twins and more than 650 people were happy to be apart of this great cause. Over $373,000 was raised in 5 hours and there was not a dry eye in the house.
