What Stirs Your Soul – Growing During Hard Times
When I look back, I realize that it was during the hardest times in my life that I put roots down, grew stronger, and found solid ground (even though I didn't know it at the time). That probably doesn't feel possible right now. It is hard to see clear when we are in the middle ...

Spring Thaw Gala – Boys and Girls Club Twin Cities
I'm honored to be working with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities as an event photographer. Here are a few photos from their recent Spring Thaw event (March 7th - my last event before the pandemic) at the new beautiful Quincy Hall. The band Consolation Champ was awesome!

Horseshoe Bend – Glen Canyon National Recreation Area – Arizona
This is what you see as you walk the 3/4 mile from the parking lot to the overlook of Horseshoe Bend. It's so flat that it's hard to believe you will see an awe-inspiring deep canyon. I kept imagining what the first people must have thought as they traveled this flat land and then to ...

The Block – Dog Friendly Patio – St. Louis Park, Minnesota
For Valentine's Day, we brought our favorite Valentine (our rescue dog, Allen) to The Block in St. Louis Park to check out their dog-friendly patio. We were so impressed! They have thought of everything to make your dining experience with your pup amazing. Allen has been to restaurant patios but has always been the only ...
Broken Arrow Trail – Hiking – Sedona
Broken Arrow is a new trail for us this year. We were hesitant to hike here because the trail runs parallel to the jeep path and we thought it would be disruptive. The jeeps didn't bother us at all and it was fun to watch them cruising over the red rocks. The hiking distance for ...
Goodbye My Girl – This One Is For You
When the new year started, I had big plans to write and all my blog posts planned for the month of January but then life happened. We lost our sweet girl, Utah. She was only 3 years old, almost 4 (her birthday would have been in February). We found out that she had chronic kidney ...
