Top 15 Photos of 2015 | Photography

Welcoming 2016 was an event like every year I can remember, sitting on my parents couch with a cup of sparkling grape juice watching a rerun for Minnesota time of the ball drop from NY. It perfectly sums up my year simple and laid back.  

2015 was a year of growth in my photography education, which I learned from the wisdom of a lot of creative live speakers such as Jasmine Star, Sue Byrce, Katelyn James, and others. I enjoyed learning from such strong ladies in the industry; hearing their success stories inspire me to keep giving my 110%. Some days it feels like I got it and others it really feels like no one will want to book me. But I will keep showing you my work because I love it and I am working to have my future brides to love it too!
I have chosen my top 15 favorites from 2015 to end out my 1st year as a wedding photographer.

Here's to 2016 and the next step in this crazy photographer journey! 

Lebanon Hills Portrait Photography | Suzy

 My wonderful sister headed to a new job this past week. She has now started working for an international cruise liner, the Norwegian Sun. 
This is a whole new experience for her that I know she has been really nervous about starting. Like anyone starting a new job, she doesn't quite know what to expect. We had both agreed we wanted to go out to document the occasion. We headed out to a sunset filled shoot in the rolling hills of Lebanon Hills Park in Eagan, Minnesota.(It is known for its winding trails which I highly recommend if you are looking for a lovely walk.) 

 We went on our own trail through the tall grass. I was making sure to look where I was waking in case we might meet with a slithering new friend.  Suzy stunned in her beautiful session (Which was not hard for her as you can see). Suzy primarily shoots with her Nikon, with her new She did a great job in following what I asked and she did not land on her butt while running sideways on this hill.  All in all she looks to her next step and All we can say is Adventure is out there for anyone brave enough to follow it.
