Dashing Through The Snow It’s been slowly building in the back of our minds. Even before Halloween had ended Target employees were sneaking in their holiday merch just an aisle over, to plant the seeds in our thoughts. Now the snow is flying, albeit mixed with freezing rain, and Thanksgiving is this week! With Black […]

Tricks and Treats
Nothing Lasts Forever And so ends Halloween season for 2010. But it will not be forgotten! We have many happy memories after hosting an enjoyable pumpkin carving party. And fun was had with a very Four Square-y Halloween at Clockwork. We also attended a swank costume party (where everyone really got into the spirit *and* […]
Deep Breathing
Watch Me Jumpstart This morning I took a break from my usual hectic routine. To pause for just a moment. And to take a few deep breaths. I allowed myself to enjoy the relative calm of Como Lake. Sure, there were your usual joggers and dog walkers and baby stroller pushers on the paths, but […]
As American As
Apple Orchard Season Fall is my favorite time of year in the upper Midwest. Leaves change color. Foods like pumpkin, squash and apples come into season. And apple orchards everywhere open up to the public for hay rides and corn mazes and other activities. Last Sunday I took a break from trip prep to take […]
Time Flies
Delaying the Inevitable September has been a speeding bullet. Packed with deadlines – personal and professional. Ceaseless celebrations – birthdays and weddings. My son’s transition to a new school. And an ever expanding mountain of To Dos. It’s all been a bit much. Which is why I said yes to a dinner party with friends […]
Minnesota Nice
Weekends of Weddings The past few years I’ve had the opportunity to shoot many lovely weddings. Being that this is Minnesota, though, even the hardiest of us prefer to hold/attend weddings during milder weather. So it’s generally a seasonal gig. Which means many couples are scrambling for the most desirable time slots at the best […]
Adult Books
Labor / Leisure in the Common Room Wednesday night I attended another fine event at The Soap Factory (guess I’ve been gushing a lot about them, but I do appreciate the space). I joined others in The Common Room as “Adult Books” (Casey Deming, John Jerry, Jennifer Jerry, Tom Kaczynski, Ginny Maki, Anna Tsantir and […]
Local Flavor
Xpos and Experiences The first annual Minneapolis Indie Xpo was a smashing success, despite the oppressive heat and humidity. It was steamy hot inside The Soap Factory, which threatened to melt the frosting off The Donut Cooperative’s tasty offerings, but it didn’t seem to keep the crowds away. We visited with many friends and acquaintances […]
Love Is In The Air
Move the Heart, Switch the Pace Love is in the air. As well as lots and lots of moisture. Saturday morning I woke to rain. I feared I would have to reschedule a lovely couple’s engagement shoot. But they were flexible and we waited it out. Sure enough the clouds parted and the sun re-appeared […]
An Adventure In Temporal Journey
The Only Way Out Is Through As a resident of the Twin Cities I feel lucky to have access to so many art galleries and other creative spaces. Just last week I attended a Red76 curated event and another evening caught one of the ARTERY TWENTYTEN performances, hosted by The Soap Factory. There is always […]
