Blogger to Word Press

Hello-

I have had some recent issues with my blogger account. For some reason I am unable to add photos to my post and since I am a photographer it has lead me to search out other blogging options. I have started a WordPress blog and will slowly transition my blogger account over in the event the issue with uploading photos cannot be resolved. You can find me at http://danaschoppephotography.wordpress.com/

Thanks for viewing.

Coley & Dustin

I met Coley through "The Knot". I feel like we have a great bond and have had a fun time during our meetings discussing her wedding details. I was very excited to finally meet the infamous Dustin during our engagement session at Theodore Wirth Park. I definately think one of the most important factors a client can look for when booking their photographer is to ensure that their and the photographers personalities mesh well together. Coley was creative and innovative and together we engineered some very beautiful portraits. I am sooo excited for your wedding day and cannot wait to work with you both again!

A little bit of my fall

My blog currently will not let me post photos. So I guess words will have to do.

So what have I been up to? Weddings, Weddings, and more Weddings. October and September were definately my busy season of 2009. I have meet so many amazing people and have had some of the most amazing experiences with my clients.

My recent weddings have taken me to The Mermaid in Mounds View, The Trellis in Stillwater (one of my favorites so far) Nicollet Island in Mpls, and Eau Claire, WI. Everyone one of the locations has their own unique charm. Its a great joy for me to get to know my clients and to see their all their hard work come together in a fabulous day. To see their individual touches make their days everything they dream of. Weddings are a right of passage, a very special time in two peoples lives and I am so thrilled to be apart of this day. Ive meet so many new great friends. Its sometimes hard to believe that I wont be in touch with the couples after they get their wedding photos. I guess thats when the child photography comes into play : ).

I just want to thank each and everyone of my clients for believing in Dana Schoppe Photography, For allowing me to partake in your amazing day, to join your faimilies, for being open and excited to try new and creative poses for your photographer who loves to capture you digitally! And last and definately not least, for being such great people!

Thank You!

Powder Monkey Photos are finally online : )

One of the best events of the MNSCS! The COGGS crew host some amazing events, this one is held at Spirit Mountain in Duluth! Great times and Challenges for all!

The Smothers

The MNSCS is very near and dear to me. I have met so many amazing people and without it I doubt that I would have nearly the photography career that I have been blessed with! A couple weeks back I had the pleasure of heading to a remote part of MN to meet with the Smothers for a family session. We first met three years ago when I raced citizen, this young boy in the kids comp class kept heckling me, 'What? thats all you got!" "Geez im just a kid and im ahead of you" LOL! Well after a little heckling back we became friends and I got to know his parents and the rest of his amazing racing family!! We scowered their property and let the boys be boys, to come up with some amazing photos. Thank for your hospitality and for the opportunity to spend a great afternoon with your family!!

Kate & Pete

I absolutely fell in love with this couple. We had three wonderful sessions together and then their wedding day. (which couldnt have been more perfect!) Congratulations Kate and Pete and thank you for everything!!

Whoops, how did that get in there : )

Chris, Sara and the Girls

I was lucky to meet Chris and Sara a couple months back, and even luckier when I found out that I get to be the photographer for their upcoming wedding. We scheduled the engagement session at the local park where Chris proposed to Sara, and it definately wouldnt have been complete without the girls. We had such a great time and I look forward to capturing your wedding! BTW - Thats what she said!!

Jordan

I had a great time working with this gal. She wasnt feeling to well, but was very excited to go forward with the Senior photos. I had her wading in a stream, swimming with ducks, and all sorts of crazy stuff. She really was a trooper and we captured some amazing images together. Thanks Jordan and I hope your Senior year is fantastic!!
