One of the odd things about licensing your work through agencies is that you don’t necessarily know exactly when or where your work will be used.  I license images through Getty, which provides me with stats on which images sold up to 45 days after the actual sale.  So was a bit surprised w...

My friend (who until recently lived on the 19th floor of Grant Park) was kind enough to let me come over early one morning to shoot this sunrise over the downtown Minneapolis skyline.  Thanks Claire! Share on Facebook Share and Enjoy:

I’ve been shooting quite a few weddings since the summer, so I thought it’d be a good idea to update my portfolio.  These are always available on my landing page or by clicking on the icon at the top left of the blog.  Just click on the images to view the slideshow full screen.  Pleas...

I headed over to Como Park today for some family photos.  Fall color is starting to fade, but we still found some gorgeous color and it was just a beautiful day to be outside. Share on Facebook Share and Enjoy:

After Chris and I finished up our headshots, I headed out onto the balcony for 10 minutes to capture these images of sunrise.  I had hoped to catch the lights of the the future home of the Twins, Target Field (top right of the first horizonal field below)…  but the lights turned off about 1...

I’ve been shooting more corporate headshots lately, these are Chris at Wells Fargo and my friend Bob.  Of course its always good to keep it a little fun (and hence the extra shot of Bob at the end).  Chris has a killer view of downtown from the Fifth Street Towers that I managed to catch (s...

I had a great time Sunday enjoying a colorful fall day with Declan, Ian, Jill, and Erik.  After taking some shots around home we headed toward the Mississippi River, where there is plenty of fall color right now.  We had a pretty good spot, but a couple of friendly runners (who were taking a quic...

It’s been a few months since I’ve gotten out with the local “Strobist” group (a group of photographers, models, and makeup artists dedicated to having a little fun while experimenting with flash photography and/or building up individual portfolios).  This months theme was ...

Nothing like a little fire to spice up a Halloween shoot.Strobist: On camera flash to add contrast, Nikon 70-200 shot wide open.

Nikon D3S brief hands-on: The new Nikon D3S is the manufacturer's first full-frame DSLR to offer a movie mode, and with a whopping ISO 102,400 maximum sensitivity, is capable of capturing images in near darkness. Nikon ...

Today was the first snow of the year (I was little shocked, since I was grilling in shorts last night), and the first time that Muse has ever gotten to throw a snowball.  We had a great time shooting at the Guthrie, Gold Medal Park, the Mill City Farmer’s Market, and around the Mill City Mu...

Ella is a critter, no doubt.  Hardly bigger than your hand, she can hide just about anywhere.  Like most Yorki’s, she may be little, but she’s full of energy.  Her owner, Amanda, and I headed over to Harriet Island in St Paul to get some shots with this little nugget.  I would lay on ...

I came across this view of downtown while looking for a unique place to shoot a couple on their wedding day. Share on Facebook Share and Enjoy:

I’ve shot several weddings this year, to make sure I’d be ready for this one (my first solo).  Weddings already feel pretty comfortable, but when I agreed to shoot my friend Holly’s wedding, I knew I’d better be on my game – not only was it my first wedding, with no ...
