Photo Girls

A couple of more photographer photos...

Dolce Studios (Kristi and Tasha)

Sally, Tim, and Noah [Maggie and Timber]

Sally just had a baby boy! Baby Noah was born on February 20th and he's so perfect! She also brought along her two dogs, Maggie and Timber for the shoot. Everyone is doing great and Sally is a beaming proud new mom.

Erika and Eric

Erika is another one of my photo girls- she is the one who went to New Zealand to teach photography. She had an amazing experience and even ended up meeting Mark Wahlberg on her flight home! She is just the nicest sweetest thing...

Eliesa and Judd

What can I say about Eliesa! I told her that she was like photographing a child. She's full of surprises and she can never sit still! ;)

Tasha and Tony

We had part two of our photo girls shoot today at Erin's studio. These are photos of Tasha (of Dolce Studios) and her husband Tony. Aren't they too cute?! My green couch took a little field trip. I have big plans for it this summer... I want to take it into a wheat field. Anyone interested?

Fashion Fight Night II

My friend Eliesa competed in Fashion Fight Night, an event featuring six Twin Cities photographers. There were three matches, with two photographers competing at the same time. Each photographer had their own hand picked team of assistants, a professional model, hair, make-up, etc. There was three, three-minute rounds to shoot, with five minutes in between to change looks. After each round, the photographer had to hand over their memory card to the judges and the images were immediately uploaded and shown on a big screen. Talk about pressure! Eliesa competed in the last match, and ended up tying with the other photographer with a rematch set for next year.

She was so awesome, she had the crowd going crazy and definitely put on the best show of the night! This was totally her element and she just rocked it like she does with everything else.

Here is a slideshow of the night. It was so much fun! Click here to view a larger version.
