I have 4 kids. Beatrice is 11, Sophie is 9, Clara is 6 and Mr.Jack is 5. Bea & Clara take violin lessons at MacPhail Center for Music. It has been really cool to see how their interest in music and their talent on the violin fostered by their teach Linda. My Niece Amanda who graduated from high school this past year also took lessons from Linda when she was 6 years old. So we have know Linda for the better part of 12 years! Our kids love Linda, so this session was very near and dear to my heart.

Recently I’ve been working on a project for an Anoka area dentist Dr. Eric Ness at Anoka-Ramsey Dental. (By the way, if you’re in need of an awesome dentist I highly recommend Dr. Ness!) He is in the process of updating his website and for part of the site there will be a testimonial section with images of some of the people he has worked with.

On Sunday afternoon I had a session with the Peterson family. Imagine 3 generations at the house for Sunday dinner, the Vikings game playing in the background and all the excitement that goes with it. I’m sure it sounds like so many homes across America on any given Sunday in December. Read more.. »

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. In Minneapolis we had the perfect holiday weekend–absolutely beautiful. I’m starting to get the winter itch. Its time to get into the snow and start making some cool images.

About 2 weeks ago I had the privilege of working with the Uetz family. This was a really cool session not only because they are a wonderful family, but because Lanette and my wife Natasha were high school classmates in Iowa. They saw each other at a class reunion this past summer (no, I’m not going to say how many years). Read more.. »

Last week I had a session with Thomas & Scott. Working with brothers always brings me back to growing up in a house with 3 boys. With boys, its always physical, very primal. Now Thomas & Scott were much more refined than me and my brothers, but there is always some of that boy energy just under the surface. Read more.. »
