30 Years!

My parents are celebrating 30 wonderful years of marriage this summer. My sisters and I became the "party planning committee" for a couple months and put together a great family get-together this week. We had over 40 family members and celebrated on a gorgeous summer evening. Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad. We love you!


What's a party without a little Cafe Latte dessert?! YUM!

Father's Day!

A couple days ago, I took some headshots of my dad. As many of you know, he's an author/speaker guy and wanted some better pictures to put on his future books, current website and other new publicity stuff he's doing. So... he asked his daughter to do them! Cool! The mosquitoes were horrible in my parents' yard, so we managed to get through pictures fast!


Happy Father's Day, Dad! Love you!

Cabin Fun!

What a great weekend getaway! Here are a couple pics from being on the lake. Having my new camera is wonderful when taking pictures of Brian waterskiing! If you can click on this first picture so it fills your screen, you can see so many of the little water beads. Hopefully a better lens is in my future so the pics are even better! My old camera will never be taking waterskiing pics ever again!
The water on the lake is so clear and clean! Gotta love northern MN.

Hey!

The Wasserman Wedding

A few posts back I mentioned that I would be posting some wedding pics! That weekend finally arrived! My high school friend, Katie, had an 18-month engagement to Ben. Despite many wedding planning bumps in the road (you Minnesotans all heard that news story about the bridal shop closing... yep, Katie's dress was from there, but she somehow managed to get her dress despite the shop closing unexpectedly ONE month before her wedding!), the wedding was wonderful and perfect in every way! The weather couldn't have been better and both bride and groom looked stunning!
Luckily (for my sake), there was only one photographer, so I got to play "second shooter" for the entire day! 400-500 images later, I was exhausted, but pleased! It was SO fun to follow everyone around and just snap away at all the candid opportunities. I even got to use my 4G memory card for the first time (not sure why that excites me so much...)!! The pictures seem to be in reverse order! Oops!
Best wishes to the very happy couple... vacationing in Jamaica... lucky ducks!

A couple of the groomsmen goofing around while the real photographer wasn't looking!
The photographer suddenly forgot something, handed his big camera off to Abbey, one of the bridesmaids, and then ran off for a while. So... what to do, what to do... she turned it on and started snapping! It was hilarious and the photographer will have quite a surprise when he looks at his images! :)

Ben's niece, Eden. She was sooo sweet.

Katie requested this shot, so I gave it my best attempt! Her bouquet is unusually similar to mine :)








Long story, but a funny one. If you know Katie, ask her.


Getting ready...

This event was a blast! Let's see... I've done their engagements and lots of wedding photos... so what is next? Baby?? ;) Love you guys!
