Fall is Leaving

Here lies the last signs of fall that I saw on Monday. Crazy that it came and went so fast this year. Minnesota is tricky that way.

The Day I was an Aerial Photographer

Someone needed some aerial shots of their property and I was hired to go up with a pilot and take them. I find flying in small planes frightening and thrilling all at the same time. I was excited that the morning we went up it was perfectly sunny in spite of the chill in the air.

On the way to shooting the property I happily snapped shots from the air. It was the perfect time to go up and capture the harvested fields and the changing fall colors. These were taken on September 24th and I was actually a little surprised that there were fewer trees that were changed in color. On the ground at that time it really seemed like a lot more.

I thought that it actually looked like a vacuum had gone through and neatly vacuumed all the crops away. Do you see it too?

Just like that we were back to the little Paynesville Airport. Seriously, a perfect flight. My pilot was amazing and kept my ride smoother than any I have ever had before (This is my third time flying in a little plane). I was so thankful for the fun opportunity!

The "V" Family - Cold Spring, MN Family Photographer

Last weekend turned out to be especially chilly. The "V" family and I had an appointment to have their pictures taken on Saturday. In spite of the cold, they held up so well. I would say they were very brave to come out with me! Because of the cold weather, it certainly was the fastest shoot I have ever done. I was so excited to get home, upload the pics and see that there were lots of good ones! Thanks "V" Family for toughing it out!

Desserts

I used to be really good about taking pictures of desserts when I would go out to eat...needless to say, I have fallen out of the habit. Last Friday we were out to eat at American Burger Bar in St. Joseph, MN. We all had a great meal, yummo on the burgers! Rarely do we follow up a burger with a dessert, but that night was special and this dessert totally needed it's own photo shoot. It looked amazing for a deep fried cheesecake, but I would have to say that I do prefer it cold. But, it was totally worth it for the amazing presentation!

Vintage Cameras - Starting a Collection

Someday I hope to have a huge collection of them, but for now, I have four. I think it would actually require a serious effort on my part, someday maybe that will be the case :).

Fun Fall Photoshoot with the Schmitz Family - Cold Spring, MN Lifestyle Photography

This is the second time I have been able to shoot this family. It was the last perfect day of fall we had here. The next day cooled off, then the winds came and blew all the color away. Glad we had the chance to sneak this shoot in. This family is wonderful and I had a great time with their little guy, sooooo fun! He is a honey!

Thanks Schmitz family for the great time together!
