Baby Raiden

Call it being spontaneous or some hormonal-charged emotions since as of late I have been surrounded by pregnant women, but the idea of a laid back session of just a momma and her child was calling to me and Moraya and her handsome baby Raiden were up for a play date.  Also I have been having the creative urge to try video and while my lack of skill and experience is noticeable I find the home video feel sort of endearing, and these small moments between this baby and his momma in motion leave me completely in pieces (so I attached it at the end for those of you that won't mind a shaky camera and blurry focusing in order to see more of Raiden's sweet face).  Enjoy!   And then send me all your babies to photograph :)

Waking Up

This time of year always brings along a wave of self doubt.  It is a combination of pre-wedding season nerves as well as trying to shake away that winter creative hibernation.  Creativity for me always has its seasons, and my most obvious low is correlated with the cold and dark season.  But as the sun warms the skies, my heart seeks out ways to reclaim that creative spirit.  And so a pottery class.  A bunch of little crooked cup made by my own two hands.  This is my stirring.  

Waking up.

Katy & Justin | Duluth MN Engagement

The slush, and mud, and warmth, the feeling of new things beginning.  Spring has made perhaps an early visit to Minnesota and my heart could not be any happier.  Filled with joy that I got to welcome it in visiting one of my favorite cities and with this amazing couple, and so looking forward to what I am sure will be another perfect spring day, celebrating their marriage this June.
