Erick and Bri are SUCH a fabulous couple! I met the groom months ago when he sold me an awesome pair of jeans and a few months later, I got a phone call from him saying, "Hey! It's Erick - I just got engaged!" While talking to guests at their reception, I learned that almost every guest there had that 'random' meeting with Erick and Bri - yet they were all the best of friends! This couple just attracts and surrounds themselves with the best people, not to mention they have the strongest love for each other! Not to turn all sappy on you readers, but I think the speech that Erick gave to Bri during their reception was hands down, the best, most heartfelt speech I have ever heard! (And there weren't many dry eyes in the room!) Congratulations to Erick and Bri on their fabulous wedding and ever more fabulous love story!

This past weekend, I hosted a shoot at my studio for some fellow photog friends! All these ladies are fabulous photographers, but I am HUGE on continuous learning. So, what better opportunity than to invite their families and all learn from each other! We shot Kristi, Melissa and Olivia's families...enjoy!

What can I say...Sally is one of my great oh-so-fabulous friends, not to mention the most gorgeous pregnant woman walking the streets of Minneapolis! Today I shot her pictures (she's due in a few short weeks!) and I had SO much fun! Congratulations to Sally - she is going to be one HOT MAMA!!! ;0)

...these are top secret photos for an upcoming issue of Metro Magazine, but they were SO cool and this shoot was SO much fun, I just had to share some right away! The article is featuring Jessica Reiter, who is a pro hula hooper! Check out her website Harmony Hoops! She is seriously cool - and a seriously good hula hooper!
