Foraging for food is a great way to detoxify the body and discover the amazing diversity of edible plants we walk past and dismiss daily.  Last weekend,  a small group of us got together and went to River Haven, Wisconsin , for a three day lesson to learn what is edible, and more importantly what it would be like to survive on a pure plant based diet in nature if we ever needed to.   All you really need is a sense of adventure, an open mind… and an open mouth!

The rules for the foraging trip were simple.  We must eat everything we find in their raw and natural state, no altering the food by cooking or fire. This insures that we are getting the maximum nutrients out of each plant so our bodies could detoxify and heal! [Read more →]

Wedding Photography in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At the Crowne Plaza Hotel

Jennae and Tyler,

Your wedding was PERFECT! The weather was great, thank God the rain held off just long enough for the ceremony to finish. I am so happy that you two decided to get married. I know you will have a wonderful life together! We wish all the best for you. I am so glad you chose me to be your wedding photographer instead of dressing up in a monkey suit! I had more fun behind the camera, and I know you will love the pictures!

What a beautiful day for Engagement pictures! Emily and Eric were a blast to work with. We started the afternoon with engagement pictures at Como park. The greenery and flowers were refreshing to see after the long winter we’ve endured. We ended with pictures at the Walker Art garden. I can’t wait to take your wedding pictures at the end of June. Congratulations Emily and Eric, or should I say EW squared!

Wedding Photography in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

It is not often that I get the pleasure of taking pictures at a small intimate wedding. I was honored to be chosen as the wedding photographer for Rebecca and Paul’s wedding on May 24th. The wedding was hosted at a lovely home in Eden Prairie, MN.

Paul and Rebecca at the Flying Cloud Airport

When I arrived, I immediately felt a true sense of peace, family and love. It was such an honor to capture such an extraordinary event without all the rush and often chaotic frenzy that is associated with “the big day.” In just a few hours I got to see what love and commitment meant to this couple and what kind of life they will lead as they travel into the unknown. With that spirit I took them to Staring Lake Park and then to Flying Cloud Airport to take the Bride and Groom pictures. Rebecca and Paul, thank you so much choosing me as your wedding photographer. I truly enjoyed it and was delighted and refreshed to see such intimacy associated with the wedding day. I wish you two the best in your future endeavors!

Thank you for choosing me as your wedding photographer. Your wedding was wonderful. I don’t see many weddings as intimate as yours. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and laid back feeling of everyone in the group, including you guys! It seemed like everyone knew each other and was very comfortable. I know that you had a great time. I wish you all the best in your upcoming years. I can’t wait to meet the little one you are expecting, and of course to be your photographer for your reception this fall.

To everyone who has been asking to see pictures of our new dog ECO, you can stop asking now because I am posting pictures of him!

Annie and I adopted Eco from a program called UnderDog Rescue. He was a stray and taken by Minneapolis animal control about 6 weeks ago. UnderDog Rescue quickly took him from animal control before he was euthanized and put him with a foster family where he was nursed back to health. He was extremely thin, had frostbite on this snout and had a pretty bad infection, and showed all the signs of abandonment and abuse. Annie and I had been looking for a small dog for some time, and when we found Eco, we knew he was ours! [Read more →]

Destination Wedding Photography

Finally! A Relaxing Destination Wedding

Congratulations Tadd and Maggie on your BEAUTIFUL WEDDING!!!

I forgot what a treat it was to attend a wedding and NOT have the stress of being the hired wedding photographer.
My cousin-in-law was married at the Ana y José Beach Club in Tulum Mexico. This happens to be the first beach wedding I have ever attended, although I am sure it will not be the last! This wedding was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It was also a WONDERFUL escape from the arctic winter here in Minneapolis St. Paul, Minnesota.

When it comes to tropical getaways, few places on earth are as beautiful as Thailand. Thailand offers one of the world’s largest varieties of tropical fruits and vegetables, a perfect location for a tropical fruit fast and healing retreat. Thailand is a Raw Food Paradise and a wonderful place for anyone looking to heal and detoxify their body.

Thailand’s ancient past is rooted in the Buddhist tradition, making it home to some of the oldest and largest Buddhist temples (stupas) in the world. The fantastic cultural diversity of Thailand incorporates a great deal of influence from India, China, Cambodia, and the rest of Southeast Asia, making it a perfect place to take pictures as well as offer an international photojournalist like myself, many unique opportunities.
