Chemi

This kid is the next big thing in the Minnesota roller blade scene.  At the age of 18 Chemi took 2nd place in the annual RTP competition in Duluth this year, blading alongside much older pros.  He also took first at OUT.

Deb and Mike

I had the pleasure of photographing Deb and Mike's wedding the other day.  What an inspiring couple, Deb is the most optimistic and positive bride I have ever met and Mike adoration for her is obvious.  I had a blast shooting these guys and especially Mike as he got his groove on all night on the dance floor.

Wyoming

For the past 3 years my family has made a trip to the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming.  Me, my dad, my brother and his kids, my aunt and my cousin all made the two day drive into the wilderness this past June.  Spending three days in the back country with dried packaged camp food, relatives, flies, and sunburn can really make you appreciate the mundane things in life such as a toilette.  However, through all the emotional pain and suffering, I cherish these trips spent with my dad and family.  Since the age of 8 years old I've endured and enjoyed these two week vacations and believe I have learned about life and my self by doing so.  Not only have these trips taught me about myself and have given me the appreciation for nature but they have also been my inspiration to become a photographer.  Here are some of the photographs from Wyoming Trip 2011.


 

A rainy day at The Farm

The following photos are products of another shoot I had at the farm.  It was raining off and on all day which made for wonderful lighting.  The mood at The Farm was calm and undramatic for once, these photos reflect the peacefulness that may be overlooked on a normal busy day.

Wedding Post

So I photographed my aunt's wedding last summer in California.  It was the second official wedding I have ever shot and it was truly a blast.  The bride and groom are obviously made for each other and have found a deep and loving bond that is hard to find.  I am posting this now almost a year later to celebrate their found companionship and to display my favorite wedding shoot so far.
