Off to Canada!

Just a quick heads up... We're heading to Canada for the holiday weekend and won't be back until Tuesday. There isn't internet or cell phone service in the Canadian Bahamas, but if you leave me a message or email, I'll get back to you asap.

Megan, Haley, & Susan - Minneapolis, Bismarck, & Grand Forks Seniors

Check out some of the shots from some more recent senior sessions. We've been doing a lot of traveling to Minneapolis and Bismarck for our Senior Portrait clients. We're going to be back in Minneapolis again for Senior Photos the weekend of September 5-7th. It will be an awesome time!

Kirsten & Karly - Fargo & Grand Forks Seniors

Check out some of the photos from two of our more recent sessions. One was in Grand Forks and the other was in Fargo. Both girls were super fun and really easy to work with. Both of these girls are non-retouched, by the way.

Anneliesse & Josh's Wedding - Roseau, MN

Tovah and I had a great time shooting Anneliesse and Josh's wedding in Roseau this weekend. They had several sweet locations for photos and everyone was super cool to hang out with.

One Hundred Push Ups - First Test 22

So, in an effort to get back into shape, I've decided to embark on the "Hundred Push Ups" training program. It's a six-week routine to get you up to 100 push ups. For my initial test, I was able to squeeze out 22 of them. I know there is more to being in shape than doing a bunch of push ups, but goal is to create a mindset that is conducive to exercising and living healthy. Anyways, wish me luck. :)

Christin & Andy's Wedding in Bismarck

We had an awesome time in Bismarck last weekend shooting Christin and Andy's wedding. They are a super cool couple and we can't wait to hang out. Right now they're off in Hawaii for their honeymoon having a good time. We're jealous...

Wedding Gift Registry

Even if you're not keen on the idea of registering for gifts, it's always a good idea. Your friends and family will get you something, and it might as well be something that you want! You don't have to limit yourself to flatware; consider registering for anything from power tools to cooking classes to a second car.

• Always consider price. Be sure to register for gifts in a range of different prices, so every guest will be able to afford something. The average amount spent is $50 to $150.
• Keep it simple. Don't drive yourself crazy keeping track of multiple registries. Look for a registry or store that has most of what you want.
• Keep convenience in mind. All your guests should be able to access your registry online, 24-7.
• Update your list and expand when necessary. Keep tabs on what gets purchased, and be sure to add more items once all that remain are cheap (but useful!) gadgets and expensive appliances.
