We have had an amazing time photographing Charlotte over the past couple of years. We’ve really enjoyed getting to know her family and just a few days ago they welcomed a new daughter into their lives. We’re sure Charlotte is loving being a big sister and helping out. Here are some of our favorite photos […]

Blue Icicles against Orange background — Today’s Fine Art Friday photo is a leftover from last year when we had a good “crop” of icicles hanging around. I wanted to contrast the warm tones of the background with the cool tones in the ice.

High Dynamic Range Photography of Bridge and Trees near Duluth, Minnesota — Last Fine Art Friday I said it would be the last for a while from Duluth… well, I forgot about this photo I made in the same area along the lake shore. This is another HDR photo made by taking several exposures, for different times and putting them together with software to create a single image […]

Here is the slideshow from Charlotte’s Fall Grins and Giggles Session. It’s amazing how much Charlotte has changed and we’ve felt so privileged to be able to photograph her during this time. We are sure she is going to be a great big sister when her new baby sister arrives this month. Check back sometime […]

It is a bittersweet time that we have come to the end of our Grins and Giggles time with Charlotte. The first time we photographed Charlotte was at her baby dedication at Valley Evangelical Free Church when she was about 6 months old. Now she is almost 3 years old. Throughout this time, we’ve also […]

Fine Art Photography: Stoney Shore — Here is the second of several HDR photos I made in this area on the shores of Lake Superior near Duluth, MN. You may remember last week’s Fine Art Friday, Streams of Gold. I really loved this big rock with cris-crossed lines running through it and wanted to create an image around it.

Waterfall emerging from the woods — One of my business trips last June took me through Duluth, MN. After enjoying a wonderful dinner at New Scenic Cafe (I highly recommend trying it), I drove along the lake shore looking for some photo opportunities. I ended up stopping at a scenic pull off near the French River and photographed until I lost most […]

A few months ago, our good friends, Adam and Crystal asked us to photograph their daughter, Elizabeth. We met Crystal and Adam a few years ago through our Sunday School class and hit it off with them right away. Adam and Kevin think so similarly sometimes that Crystal and I just have to laugh and […]
