Danny and his family had their portrait session yesterday. With this family, there is always laughter and general silliness, so we had a really fun time =)
I couldn’t get over Danny’s cheeks!
Big sister has such a fabulous personality =)
ahhhh! the cheeks! the toes! the smile!
I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek!
Derrick and Rheta were married on Sunday!
This Texas couple took Minnesota by storm for their memorial weekend wedding. In a flash of purple and sparkle, Rheta and her planners at Events by Harper-Davis, took months of long distance planning and made this day a reality. Woodbury Central Park gave the feeling of the outdoors which worked well with Rheta’s use of butterflies in the decor, which was designed by Flair Your Affair.
The day started at the hotel with Rheta and her ladies getting all made up by Angel Popowitz. Rheta had symbolism in every part of her getting ready routine, having key members of her family help her put on her jewelry and get into her gown.
Since they didn’t want to see each other before the wedding, but wanted to be able to connect before the day got too crazy, Derrick and Rheta held hands and exchanged notes on either side of a wall. Do we call this a “no look first sight”? I’m not sure, but it was definitely cute!
After the ceremony, the wedding party took some pictures inside and outside of the park.
Rheta and her security detail…
Inside, the ballroom was awash in purple. Guests enjoyed a slideshow created by the videographers, Sacred Light Studios, and a delicious meal from Donatelli’s Restaurant.
Then came the highlight of Rheta’s night, the DANCING! DJ Tek knew just what to play to get that bride shimmying and shaking all night! The guests had such a great time!
Derrick and Rheta, thank you so much for having us be a part of your day! Enjoy your sneak peek!
Uptown Cafeteria and Support Group is a great place to eat in Minneapolis. There is such a spirit of playfulness AND the food is delish! Craft cocktails and a beefed up Sky Bar menu feature fresh ingredients and unique flavor profiles. The Sky Bar is a gorgeous rooftop deck with modern funky decor and gives a great vantage for people watching.
Take a look at some of the new menu offerings that I just photographed (and also covertly tasted…) and I bet you’ll be planning your next visit to uptown so you can try some of these dishes! Enjoy the sneak peek!
Finnegan had his three month old session today! Since we are doing the Grow With Me sessions, I get to see little Finn every three months, which is such a blast. Especially since his dad can go in the garage and fetch all kinds of cool props. Today, it was a beautiful door from the 1860s! SO AWESOME.
Little Finn has such a bright smile and did a great job during his session.
This little monkey hat was way too big for Finnegan as a newborn, but it fit perfectly today…
…and he is SUCH a Twins fan!
All the outfit changes wore the little guy out.
What a happy family!
Enjoy the sneak peek!
Justin and Katie had their engagement session today!
Though we started the session in the rain, it gave way to a fine mist and we enjoyed a beautiful spring morning. The filtered light made the new green leaves and bright tulips pop, and everything was so beautiful even Justin started taking pictures.
These two were so laid back and fun…I had a great time getting to know them as we drove around looking for beautiful little pieces of nature to use as a backdrop.
Justin and Katie, enjoy your sneak peek!
