Hi – thanks for visiting my blog. I’m currently on a medical leave of absence and am not accepting photography engagements at this time.
I’ve attached a few pics from last year…better late than never!

Thanks for visiting.

Happy 4th of July!

Play, Skip, Enjoy | Eden Prairie Children’s Photographer

I was excited to photograph Miss E the other night. The ‘E’ could very well stand for Energy! I had fun trying to keep up as she played, ran and skipped
across the field – sometimes even rolling down the hill, climbing up and doing it all over again. In between we literally stopped to smell the flowers.
Something we should do more often!

Urban Ventures BearPath Golf Tournament | Eden Prairie Event Photographer

Michelle — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:51:13 +0000

I’ve participated in a few Urban Ventures photography shoots (see here and here) during this past winter. When the opportunity arose to join a team of photographers documenting their annual golf tournament with proceeds benefiting the Urban Stars Athletic Club, I was definitely game (though I know
nothing of golf, I can ride in a golf cart with the best of them!). It was beautiful weather, and I had a blast as usual working with Urban Ventures.

Workshoppin’

I recently took a few classes with Steve Silverman of Steve Silverman Imaging – a studio lighting workshop and a class in photographing people outdoors.
Not only was it a great opportunity to learn new techniques, but it was also fun to work with models. They definitely know how to work it for the camera!

Trying some different processing on this one:

Just playing around with my new macro lens – here’s a tulip from Mother’s Day.

Urban Ventures – Cristo Rey High School | Minneapolis Teen Photographer

Michelle — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 03:16:57 +0000

Before Christmas I participated in a volunteer photography shoot for Urban Ventures. You can see a few pictures from the previous shoot here. It was
such an amazing experience that I was excited to participate again. Instead of families, this time around we photographed teens at the Cristo Rey High
School. They had energy to spare – and we did manage to answer the question of how many people can you cram onto a roll of 107″ seamless, and well…
that would be…A LOT.

Here are a few photos from that day.

This little cutie was 10 days old and very sweet to photograph! Here are a few from our session.

I had the privilege of photographing individuals for an amazing organization that does very good things within the community. Check them out: www.urbanventures.org.

Newborn Goodness | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer

I was excited to shoot my first newborn. Her mama was a great model, and three weeks later, little baby E was born. She was a doll!
