{Priti Things Promotional Shoot | Brainerd, MN Product Photography}

So excited to share this shoot. A friend of mine just started an Etsy shop, and I was able to shoot some image for her to use as promotional material. Not only are her creations adorable, and the girls that modeled for me gorgeous, she is also giving half the profits to Compassion International, which is awesome. :)

So enjoy the portraits... and then go check out her shop (and maybe buy some? hehe). http://www.etsy.com/shop/PritiThings

She also has a facebook page, which she updates with new items quite often... go give her some "like" ;) https://www.facebook.com/PritiThings?fref=ts

{The North Shore - Lake Superior MN | Personal}

When Katherine came to visit early in June {to shoot Jose and Katie's wedding with me!}, we also squeezed in a camping trip to the North Shore. It's how we work.. pack it all in. We may have forgotten a lot of fairly essential stuff, but we didn't get eaten by bears, or rained out of our tent, or have trees fall on us, or get smashed by a rock fall, although we thought we were going to ;) All in all, we had a pretty fun trip, and saw everything from two step falls {which is MUCH farther than two steps} at Tettegouche, to Split Rock, and Palisade Head... from Betty's Pies, to ships arriving in Duluth and the Silver Bay Marina. Gooood times!

Oh, and did you know? Bears don't have thumbs.
