Beckett is 6 months old and he is so so so cute!  (Well, he is actually a liiiittle older than 6 months…we had to reschedule 3 times due to rain but I’m so glad we held off for a nice day!)  His newborn session seems like yesterday and his mom and dad just celebrated their two year wedding anniversary!  I love watching families grow!

This Saturday, May 19 is Global Food Revolution Day.  This day is about bringing people who love food together to share information, talents and resources; to pass on their knowledge and highlight the world’s food issues.  Food Revolution Day is about connecting with your community through events at schools, restaurants, local businesses, dinner parties and farmers’ markets. We want to inspire change in people’s food habits and to promote the mission for better food and education for everyone.  We need to get back to the basics and start thinking about where our food comes from.  We need to become a conscious community and understand the food choices we make on a daily basis. We can do this by improving food education.

My friend Amy Sapola is organizing the Food Revolution Rochester MN group and wrote a fantastic guest blog post on Sontes blog.  Saturday morning, you can find me tagging along with her as we explore the Rochester Farmer’s Market, interviewing vendors and photographing the goods.  Then on Saturday evening, Sontes is offering a Chef’s Tasting Menu.  They’ve put together an exclusive tasting menu for the evening, full of local, sustainable, organic, or biodynamic ingredients.  Please join us in the conversation about real food as we take steps towards a healthier lifestyle.  Watch for a recap with lots of photos following this weekend!

Happy Mother’s Day…especially to this momma of 1 soon to be 2 adorable kiddos!  Aren’t these guys ridiculously cute?  

Ryan and Jessica are getting married!  I have known Ryan since we were we little kids (I’ll bypass any embarrassing stories) and I can’t believe he’s old enough to be getting married (I know that makes me sound old).  But seriously, I am so excited for these two.   And I love their dog.  :)  Aren’t they cute?

Seriously…April is over?

I am very excited to be participating in another ARTWALK tomorrow May 3 from 5-9pm!  The Dovetailers will be performing live music per usual and Bobby Marines will also be painting!  At each venue, you will be able to register for a chance to win a downtown prize package!  To view/print this month’s map, click here: http://www.downtownrochestermn.com/arts-theatre-comedy/documents/ARTWALK_map_05_12.pdf.  Hope to see you tomorrow !  Click here to view photos from a past ARTWALK!

It has been an absolute joy to get to know this family over the last couple years.  First, Jaxson’s one year session and then Lincoln’s newborn, 3 month, and 6 month sessions.  I really have loved it!  Lincoln is now 9 months old…next up: one year photos in July!

Sarah is the mother of three lovely kiddos but this shoot was just about her and her youngest, Jack.  Our goal was simple…get images that capture the connection between a mother and her son, that communicate love and capture life right now.  And in the midst of wrestling, snuggling, playing in the dirt, racing matchbox cars, and giggling, we froze a few moments on a beautiful spring day.  And years from now, these moments become memories…

I couldn’t help take a few of just Sarah at the end…isn’t she gorgeous?  She is also a beautifully talented photographer…check out her work here.

It’s a special day today, it’s this guy’s birthday.  Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Hello poor, neglected blog!  Remember me?!  March was BUSY and here’s an iPhone recap.  I’ve been diligently taking a photo a day with my phone (MOST of the time) and my big camera has been pretty busy too so I have lots of posts coming up!  In the meantime, HAPPY EASTER!
