Fast week

This week is packed with portrait sessions. And to round it off is a wedding on Saturday. Here is a sampling!

A time to celebrate!

On Saturday my husband and I went to this couple's house to photograph their family who were in town to help them celebrate their anniversary. After the portrait session they went off to celebrate with even more people who came from all over the U.S.! What a wonderful couple!

Hubbard Vacation

Last Thursday I drove out to Rapid City, SD with a car load of people - my sister-in-law, two nieces and my cousin (who I was bringing back home to Rapid City). And my brother rode his Victory motorcycle along with us. Later that evening my parents got on their Harleys and rode to SD too. We were having a quick Hubbard Family Vacation. Here are some pix from the Flintstone Park, Custer Park, Story Book Island Park and around Sturgis. My favorite picture is the large group one where my aunt bought ugly plastic teeth for all of us to wear. We all tried to look as dorky as possible - I think we all look like rednecks (no offense to the rednecks out there :D). The big group photo includes my family and then some of my aunts family and my godfather. I felt so bad for my parents and brother on the way home. It was raining pretty much the entire time. They were all cold and wet!

Busy week

My busy week started off on Sunday with photographing a family portrait and then attending a grad party. Then on Monday Mark (my husband) and I ventured down to the cities to go on Studio Tours for the MNPPA (MN Pro Photographers Assoc.) We went to six of the seven studios listed. Some were residential studios and others were store fronts and one was a warehouse location. They were all so cool in their own way. This is the second year I've gone on the tour. Tomorrow (Wednesday) I'm heading down to St. Cloud and on Thurs.-Monday I'll be in Rapid City, SD. My family is having a little vacation in SD. I'll post some images next week sometime!

The baby is here!

If you scroll down on this blog you'll see some maternity portraits. Well, a baby boy was born! Here are some examples from yesterday evening's portrait session.

New Old Couch

So I finally used my new old couch I bought off Craigs List. This is the couch I bought for $20 and picked it up while it was raining out. But I'm pretty sure it had been sitting in the rain and snow for a while! My brother thought I over paid. But I love the vintage look of it and am very excited to have it as a new addition to the studio. I actually want to put it in my tall grass field and do some funky outdoor portraits with it. But in the meantime I tried it out with my nieces when they were up for Memorial Weekend. And I picked up this tutu which they loved! They were dancing around and loving playing dress up. Kids are so funny!

Sisters

Take a look at these CUTE sisters! They were so good and fun to photograph! The middle sister was such a good poser! You'd think she was a little pro model.
