Todd's Birthday!... and I still love my point and shoot camera...


Since Derek and I will be in Louisiana for the next two weekends, we celebrated Todd's birthday (March 12th) early. Jillian asked Todd what he would like to do for his birthday and he decided he wanted to go skiing. Now, Jillian has never skied before, and I am prone to spraining or breaking things when I ski, so Derek and I met Todd and Jillian at Afton Alps, the boys went skiing, and the girls went snow tubing. This also seems to be a pattern when Derek and I decide to go anywhere that has snow and hills (i.e., Colorado with Breezi). So, you may wonder why Todd and Derek are not in any of these pictures, especially since Todd is the birthday boy, and we were celebrating his birthday! Well, Jillian and I had the camera, and the boys didn't, so this is what we got! :) These first two pictures were taken by our "tubing boyfriends!" They have helpers at the top and bottom of the hills, and the guys at the top will push you, spin you, etc. down the hill. There was a super sweet guy from Montana who works there who was especially good at shoving and spinning Jillian and I down the hill. I didn't get his name, but I will give him a shout- out! 'Thanks snowboarder from Montana who has a sister is Denver!'



Then Jillian and I decided it would be fun to take pictures of each other as we went down the hill! This is a montage of those photos! Things included in here are Jillian giving a shout-out to her homies in Woobury (that isn't a W for west side, it's for Woodbury!), me yelling and laughing REALLY loudly, Jillian's boots, my boots, and a couple of really cool sundflares!


After tubing (and skiing for the guys), we headed back to the house where we had Chinese take out and birthday cake with balloons on it!


Derek and I got Todd 2 summer dress shirts, something I am sure he has always wanted! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

About Me

My photo
Twin Cities, MINNESOTA
I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota. I have a B.A. in Communication Disorders, and I have taken classes in photography and visual arts. I have a wonderful husband, a house, and two cats. I am an office manager and photographer for a wedding photography company in the twin cities, and I am working to start my own photography business in child, baby, belly, family, and high school senior portraits. I love natural lighting and I like getting as many candids as possible. I also love setting up photo shoots with backdrops, props, and cute outfits! I enjoy "choreographing" shots, not posing! I feel my style is mostly photo journalistic with a little bit of traditional and artistic thrown in the mix. I started this sight to share my work as well as keep updated with my family and friends! We seem to get more and more spread out across the country, but I am hoping to keep everyone informed on what is happening in my life with this blog. I also hope to share a little bit about myself with the people I photograph. I feel like I am photographing important moments and people in their lives, so I want them to get a glimpse of who I am as well.
