Happy Birthday Evan!!

12.12.11

Evan turns four today. The last year has been amazing watching him develop his hilarious personality while also struggling with such things as "broken leg syndrome" every time we ask him to get something upstairs. I could go on all day with stories like the how he almost knocked all the teeth out of his mouth with a vuvuzela or his biggest concern with our baby-to-be (oh ya, did I mention my wife is pregnant? well she is, check out the first photo below, it's a boy! due in February!) is whether or not it will steal his toys. Either way, it's been an awesome year. Check out a selection of images from when Evan was three below. Happy birthday Evan!

MOE-to shoot with Moe

12.07.11

In Duluth's lakeside neighborhood is a boy named Jimmy and a dog named Moe. If you are ever around Lester Park in the late afternoon during the warmer months, you'll probably run into these two at some point. Both are relatively smaller specimens for their respective species, but both pack a ton of heart! Ok, enough with the cheese.

This past Monday night I traveled to my friend Jimmy's house with another friend, Mat, to take some photos of Moe the pug. This shoot had been in the works for a long time and we had a blast. Moe becomes the ideal photo subject when you wave a meaty treat in his face. I wonder if that works with people too? And you know what? Moe inflicted less damage to the white seamless backdrop than our friend/assistant Mat. Check out the infographic below to see the stark difference in damage distribution.

For now, enjoy the photos and do know that Moe is everyone's bro.

Janine + Brian :: Duluth, MN Wedding Photographer

Hey Duluthians... and everyone else! Did the below zero temperatures get you down this morning? Or maybe you're happy it's a sign that snow is on its way to stay? Well if you are part of the former, let's take a second and enjoy some of these images from Janine and Brian's Glensheen Mansion wedding. It was warmer. Look at those people outside... in the sun... without sleeves!

Rachel + Frank :: Sparta, WI Wedding Photographer

11.18.11

This was a wedding I was looking forward to for a long time. First, Rachel and I grew up on the streets of Sparta and graduated from high school together back in 2000. Second, it was a wedding in Sparta. SPARTA!!! I don't get home much during wedding season so it was definitely fun to be back, shooting a friend's wedding, with Diamond D's pizza (it's still Polak's to me) right down the road and Kwik Trips galore. I heart Wisconsin and I hearted (is that a word) this wedding. Congrats Rachel and Frank!
