Fun with the family

I spent a Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis with my family last weekend ... and haven't laughed so hard in a long time! We spent some time at the Minneapolis farmer's market, then saw the film "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in 3D. It was pretty exciting :)

Here's us in our swanky 3D glasses ::

The farmer's market was filled to the brim with delicious-looking produce. For example, carrots ::

Peas ::

And pretty onions ::

Artsy photo of my family's newly painted deck (this photo seemed like a good idea after a couple gin and tonics) ::

The family watch dog Drake ::

More time at the lake

Over the Fourth of July weekend, we got away to the lake for a quick overnight stay. It was great to get a chance to relax just a bit :)

I love the light at the lake ... it's always so pretty. Here are some photos of the stairs that lead the way down to the dock from the cabin, and a shot of some flowers (with the hammock in the background).

After the sun set, we had some fun with sparklers ::

And flashlights :: (Can you read these?)

But our trip to the lake wasn't all pleasure ... we met up with Amanda's family for some family portraits. Here's a quick sneak peek. I'll have more images from their session next week!

This weekend we're off to Fargo today for Katie and Cody's wedding, then I am heading down to Minneapolis on Saturday to work with my friend and fellow photographer Steve Silverman. Have a great weekend!

We're on a billboard!

Well, we're not actually on the billboard, but one of our photos is! We've been very busy lately because we are working with the UND Athletic Department and the Ralph Engelstad Arena to produce images for their 2008-2009 athletic marketing campaign. Today I was driving down South Washington Street and saw this billboard ::

It's not the greatest photo of the billboard ... I was trying to shoot it out of my car window :)

Here's a better version of what's on the sign ::

It will be exciting to see how they use the rest of the photos!

Meet Amanda, my executive ass.

You might remember Miss Amanda from our fun Amanda and the banjo shoot earlier this spring. She's put her banjo gig on hold for a bit so she can take on a new job :: executive assistant for Shawna Noel Photography (or executive ass, as she likes to call herself).

Amanda is the world's greatest organizer and she's putting her skills to good use around here. So far she's organized all the client lists, sent out info packets, and even made herself a name plate. It's so much fun to work with her every day :)

Here are some photos Amanda took around our office:: (Yes, that is her butt)
