To Duluth we go!

Despite my best efforts last week, I still didn't get much on the blog! We were out of town every day for photo sessions and that didn't leave us much time for blog postin' :)

Right now I'm in Duluth, Minn., for a two-day engagement session with our fabulous clients Kayla and Doug. When we left Grand Forks this morning it was in the 60s, and the temperature when we arrived in Duluth was 41 and pouring rain. Brr. By the way, did you see that it's June?

We bought rain coats as soon as we got out of the car -- matching rain coats because it's all the store had -- and we had a great session with Kayla and Doug. Here's a shot Kory took of me in my new pink coat :: (Don't you love my hot gloves?)

And here's Kory in his fab new green coat ::

Here are two shots from our session tonight :: many more to come!

Griffin

Meet little one-year old Griffin. He's the cousin to some of our favorite kids, Izzy and Hudson, so we knew right away that he'd be a natural in front of the camera. We spent a beautiful spring afternoon with Griffin, his mom Sarah and dad Jon -- we laughed, we played, we ate Cheerios! They are such a sweet family and Griffin is a real cutie :)

I love this face ::

I love Griffin's "Dennis the Menace" cowlick here ::

Swings are always fun ::

I heart Izzy's green shoes ::

Lake, 2009, part one

Here's just a quick post from my time at the lake last weekend ... it rained on and off throughout the day, so mostly we were inside watching the squirrels (squirrel photos to come soon!). I did get a few shots after a downpour. Here's my favorite.

Yay for Janessa and Lance

Hip hip hooray ... I just found out that an image from Janessa and Lance's beautiful wedding in April placed in the latest AGWPJA contest. Janessa ruined a perfectly white pair of shoes to get on this path to take this photo, so she deserves a big shout out for being so great to work with! Woohoo for fabulous clients!
