I'm going on a real vacation! I leave tonight at 8pm and I'll be back next Wednesday. Are you wondering where I'm headed? You'll have to find out next week when I post the photos :)  
 
Although I'll be gone, the blog will carry on! Kory will be guest blogging in my absence. He's NEVER blogged here before, so this is a first! Kory is threatening to post all sorts of things -- embarrassing photos of me, mostly -- so it should be an interesting week!  
 
Have a good week with Kory :) One thing is for sure :: He uses fewer smiley faces. 
 
Here's a photos from our session last week with Elaina. I love her hat!

Meet one of the most adorable 4-year-olds I know :: Grace. Grace is funny (she knows knock-knock jokes!) and sweet, silly and sassy, and has the best "cheesy" smile I've seen in a while. I love spending time with Grace and her little bro Evan. They are both so much fun to photograph!  
 
Also, Grace's mom makes the best brownies in Grand Forks. We got a big pack of brownies when we finished the session and I think they were gone the next day. Who needs real food when you've got brownies for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Evan is a doll :)

I'm kicking off 20 days of blogging with Sean and Jessi's engagement session! 
 
Sean and I go waaaaay back to our days working at the Dakota Student, the student newspaper at UND. Sean used to read my stories out loud when he proofread them, much to my embarrassment. 
 
Thus (Sean used to use the word "thus" in every story he wrote) I hope to return the favor now and embarrass him by posting a few ridiculously cute photos of him and his gorgeous fiance, Jessi. Sean and Jessi are getting married this summer at Jessi's family lake home near Bemidji. It's sure to be a good time! 
 
We met in Fargo for the session, the day after Jessi ran a half-marathon! I think I'd still be sweating 24 hours after I ran that much ...

Rockstars.

Hello, blog readers :) We are in full-time busy mode here at the office. After all, it's wedding season! In addition to the regular craziness that comes with wedding season, we've just finished moving in to our new office. For weeks we've been painting, building IKEA furniture, and hanging photos. The new office is bigger, with actual windows, and has a kitchen! No more watering plants in the bathroom sink. Before and after photos of the new office are coming very soon :) 
 
In other personal news, I'm getting my braces off TOMORROW. That's right, no more metal mouth for me! I'm beyond excited. Photos of my new smile coming soon, too! 
 
Today I'm busy editing sessions for all sorts of blog posts. I have 15 sessions (engagement photos, baby photos and nature-y photos) and 5 weddings to blog! So get ready for 20 days of blog posts starting tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a quick shot from Lisa + KC's wedding on Saturday. How adorable is this blue typewriter?
