The Groebners are like my other family, and I was really glad to get to take a few family portraits for them last week. Love you all! These next two pictures were an attempt at re-creating an old family picture… obviously the kids were a lot smaller then ;)

Read MoreKaylee and Anna are 2013 seniors and are both captains on the Brainerd High School Gymnastics team {click on their names to view their portrait sessions}. Before we did their senior sessions, we were able to met at the gym and play around for a while. I’ve been missing shooting sports, since this is my first season in six years that I haven’t shot for the Staples World newspaper, so this was LOTS of fun for me!

Read MoreI’ve been fighting shin splints these past few weeks, ever since I did five hours of biking, ran a 5k, swam with 325 children triathletes, swam a 1/2 mile race, and played ultimate frisbee all in one weekend. Smartest idea ever, right? I’m supposed to be training for a 10 mile race in less than four weeks, and I can barely limp through two miles. I sat down this morning to read my bible and I was complaining to God about it. This is the second year I’ve signed up for the 10 mile.. the first year I came down with mono, and wasn’t able to run.

Read MoreWe did Adam’s senior session around Crookneck Lake, where he lives. Thanks for being such a great sport Adam, even wearing your least favorite shirt for your Mom. :)
Read MoreAnna and I had a blast wandering all over Brainerd a few weeks ago for her senior sessions; we found lots of fun places and cool light, and she did everything I asked her to :) Even dancing in a random field. Thanks Anna! Anna is a captain on the Brainerd gymnastics team, so the next week we did some portraits at the gym… which will be coming soon! For now enjoy these…
