Kayla + Adam are engaged! (Fargo Photographer)

... well actually, they are already married! I just haven't gotten their engagement pictures posted yet! (but we shot them only 2 weeks before the wedding... What a fun couple. I hope they are loving their new home in Seattle. I'll get working on those wedding photos too.

Steph was wearing her seat belt!

I know I should be posting from the many shoots that have not made it to the blog yet... and get the proofs done for all those people that are waiting... but I had to post this photo from the front page of the Forum this morning....this is my son's girlfriend Stephanie's black car in the middle!

Thankfully everyone was ok. She's kind of sore today though.

thanks to everyone for being so patient. I should be getting more proofs done soon... it's that time of the year! Max's baby book came today... I'll try to get some images of that up too! I love it!

Ideas for your family in an art piece!


If you have ever been in to the studio... you have seen my Mexico images on these fun canvases with sewn edges, mounted to the wall with metal brackets. I finally have an example of a portrait in a metallic canvas for a great urban look. The best part is... I have come up with a way to make them look like they are mounted and floating on the wall without mounting them at all! You can hang them anywhere... no more finding studs...you can move them around too.



newborn images are perfect for your baby as art...

This is a canvas set of a mother and son that will hang opposite the front door in the clients home. Stacking them showcases 2 favorite images and instantly makes a home feel fun and welcoming. The bottom is 20x30 and the top is 12x20. The edges have a patterned textured look with colors that I took from the brick wall and her shawl.

Want a square canvas, but the image just wont fit it? I can create a background to fit any image and style.

These gallery wrap canvases with all the newborn stats around the edges are a great way to preserve a favorite newborn image! I have used a bold font on this one, but a subtle script is great for a different look.

Tickled pink! ...fargo photographer

A week ago, my brother and his family was here to help me with my mothers estate. He found this in her things.... my first camera! I had no idea that she still had it! I used to line up my dolls and stuffed animals on the front step and take their pictures. They were so random...guess I haven't changed much.


It was a roller-coaster of emotions... fun memories, tears, frustrations at wanting to ask her a hundred questions. "Where did this come from? tell me all the stories about everything, I didn't pay enough attention the first time and I don't remember some things" There is one I remember well... I have been wearing her gold cuff bracelet. It was my grandmother Helen's. I was an infant when she passed away, but I remember my mom telling me how my father used it for a teething ring when he was a baby in 1921! As a new grandmother myself, it gives me a warm feeling to have it around my wrist. ... or ... was that just a hot flash?
