Have you noticed how bad I am at updating the blog?

Me, too. I decided that I'm going to make a stronger effort into at least posting a weekly blog, even if it's just weekly updates with what I'm up to. Authenticity and a willingness to be vulnerable and transparent in my work is a core of my company and I've decided that part of that needs to be connecting with my audience on a more regular basis.

DESIGN CAMP.
I thought this week would be a FANTASTIC time to start that because DESIGN CAMP IS THIS WEEK! I have been waiting for this for like a whole year! I love Design Camp because of the speakers they bring in (Louise Fili spoke my first year, Mark Simonson did one of the breakout sessions, and this year, Jay Fletcher and Tad Carpenter will be speaking). I always find myself encouraged and reenergized when these design celebrities get on stage and talk about the same struggles or experiences I have. It's not difficult for a creative professional to find themselves experiencing a deep sense of community at Camp. I always feel right at home when I go up there. And did I mention Northern Minnesota in October?

WEDDINGS.
I've been helping Kara Vorwald shoot weddings this month and that has been a blast. I love shooting weddings so much. Kara has been a pure joy of getting to know! She does such beautiful work, creating stunning images that highlight people at their best. Kara is a really sweet woman with a fun sense of humor and a gentle and kind spirit. If I'm not quite the right photographer for your special day, I really hope you give her a call. If she is the one capturing your special day, you're going to love your photos for decades to come.

On that note, I am booking weddings for 2018 and 2019! If you just got engaged, have a look at my wedding portfolio (I just added some new photos with more on the way!), and let's get in touch! Book by December 31st to get 2017 pricing!

That's all for this week! Don't forget to say hi in the comments! Because nobody likes a creeper.
