Action Jackson

Yesterday I did an art photo shoot with my gracious volunteer, Mitch "Action" Jackson, a star MMA fighter who trains at my gym, American School of Martial Arts in Savage, MN.  His current record is 12 wins, 1 loss.  Awesome record, Mitch!  Here are a couple of preview images from our session.  The first is an HDR image, the second is a moody B&W.  Enjoy, more to come! :)

Little Baby Josie

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing little Josie, who was 4 weeks early, and 4 weeks old.  Gorgeous little Josie didn't want to let me out of her sight for very long - she was very alert for such a little girl.  Here is a little sneak peak for her parents.  Elizabeth, it was a pleasure, and I would absolutely love to work with you again in the future, and watch Josie grow up. She's an absolute angel. :)

Three Kids, One Lollipop

Usually this would make for a bad equation, but these three had a blast licking on this one HUGE lollipop.  Meet Jack, Charlie, and Lucy (not necessarily in that order).  We braved the heat today at the Arboretum, and the bugs - LOTS of bugs - to capture some of their adorable expressions.  This one in particular makes me laugh. :)

Little Z

Last night, I went to my nephew Zach's baseball game, and while I was there, took some photos of him in action.  There are a couple of Zachs, so they just call him "Little Z".  At this age, they are so serious about the game.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Nephews

Today my brother and his family stopped by for some food and fun, and while they were here, a quick (very quick) mini-session for the boys, my nephews.  I managed to catch a few cute images of them, even though photography wasn't exactly on their agenda :)  These are my favorites.
