Christmas 2006

Every Christmas seems to turn into a time of reflection for me. We are so blessed! In 2006 my wife and I were blessed with our first child, Grace Katherine. She was a handful for the first month as she was born with a hole in her heart and a cataract in her right eye and we spent over half of her first month of life in hospitals. But God works in great ways and can turn everything that seems bad into a goodness greater that we could have imagined. A month of worry about your daughter every day with different test results coming back and surgeries being planned really makes you step back and remember what is important, PEOPLE and the memories that you create with them. Now Grace is doing great! Here's a picture of her with the patch that she has to wear over her left eye 1/2 of the time that she is awake in order to strengthen her right eye which had a cataract removed.



Also, if you are looking for a videographer in 15-20 years, feel free to contact my nephew.



or an personal chef in 10-15 years, feel free to contact my niece.



or a professional home-builder in about 20 years, feel free to contact my nephew.



God Bless all of you in 2007!

What a beautiful wedding.

I think that if I can get enough couples to see Andy's and Kristina's images, I think I can make December my busiest month of the year. Wonderful job by the wedding coordinator at Lutheran of the Cross in Nisswa and Cragun's Legacy.

My wife commented on "what a beautiful bride" when she first viewed the slide show and my wife has seen pictures of a LOT of brides.

A great big thanks to Andy and Kristina for letting me be part of their wedding day.

Tara and Carey

I've been so busy lately with launching my new website that the blog has been a little neglected. NO LONGER!

Tara and Carey. So much fun, because they trusted me to capture awesome images from their wedding. I want to thanks them so much. It was about 35 degrees Fahrenheit (2 Celsius for Carey's friend and family from Canada) and Tara wanted a lot of images outside so I want to thank everybody (especially the ladies) for being troopers and enduring the cold for photography's sake.

What a great wedding and what great people.

Friday it was snowing/raining, 35 mph winds, COLD!

But Saturday was a beautiful day, sun was out, no wind, and warm (for MN in October anyways). If you look closely, I am sure that a few of the bridesmaids have goosepimples in some of the outdoor images.

Jason and Emily, deeply in love, beautiful inside and out, thanks for letting me be part of your day.

WAY TO GO ANDREW! State of Iowa Soccer Champs.

My nephew Andrew's soccer team is the State of Iowa Soccer champs for his age group and will get to play in the Regional Tournament in the Spring.

The image isn't mine, but I've circled Andrew in the image.

Also, be ready as I will be launching a new website sometime in the near future.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

Tracy and Jeremy were AWESOME, and so was the Manhattan Beach Lodge and Crosslake Lutheran Church. You might be wondering about the title of this post, but I am sure the bride and groom know why it's there and if you look closely in the slideshow, you might catch the groom's impression of Zoolander's "Blue Steel".

And the question of the day is "Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?"

In all seriousness, Tracy and Jeremy are headed for a long life of fun, laughter and love. Congrats you two!

Kristina and Andy are ENGAGED!

Andy and Kristina are getting Married! How does a "Media Specialist" (Kristina) meet a "Grape Trader" (Andy)? That's a great question. While I work on getting that answered enjoy a short slideshow of their engagement session on Gull Lake.

Geoff and Holly!!!

Holly's bridesmaids were in Blue and Holly had on AWESOME blue shoes and the couples last name is Guitare and Geoff plays one mean AIR GUITARE. So what better music than a little Rockin Roll, Blues mix?

Great day, the rain stayed away and two people committed to the love of a lifetime.

Congrats Holly and Geoff!

Aaron and Maggie

Aaron and Maggie are one more couple that I truly enjoyed getting to know. Very wonderful people and truly in love. What better place to get married than at Camp Foley on Whitefish Lake where they were both camp counselors and where they met.
