Baby Isabella

Finals last week left me out of touch for awhile. I am happy to say they are over for at least a little while and I passed with high grades so I get to relax now, atleast for a couple weeks. Hopefully I will even get to hit up a couple mountain bike trails.

Yesterday was MNSCS #1 Erik's Spring Cup, they set the course up to be raced backwards, most of the racers seem to enjoy the change. It was one of the largest turn outs in quite some time for the MNSCS, so thanks to everyone who showed up and raced, thats totally cool!

I ran around getting photos from many places as usual. I have them on my computer, just need to get them on my website. Most, if not all classes will be uploaded this evening and all will be online by tomorrow.

Totally off that subject, I had a fun session with some old friends of Andy and I's, along with their sweet new baby girl. I'll leave you with a few of my favorite images of Little Ms. Isabella Biana.

Spring Fling 2009

The 2009 Mountain Biking Season Opener...

New gear worked out well, but had to get rid of all those factory settings and get used to where everything was on the new body. Made for an interesting day of shooting, I did more fine tuning and playing then I did getting photos but was a good first time out. Wonderful to see many of the bikers from last season and this race got me pumped for the upcoming MNSCS season. This weekend, right after finals : ) One door closes while another opens.





I love this saying by Elliot Erwitt: "Its about time we take photography seriously and start treating it like a hobby!"

Its been awhile

Wow! Lots of fun stuff going on. The MNSCS is just two weeks away from kicking off the 2009 Racing Season. Lots of changes in store and just spending time making sure all those details are worked out! Most of the stuff is on the MNSCS Website http://www.mnscs.com/ and the rest will just have to be a nice surprise : )


Elk River is hosting a last minute race this weekend, and once again I have new gear so Im heading over to try it out!! Rich puts on some of the best events in MN so if your not doing anything on Saturday I hope to see you there! Plus it gives you a chance to pre-ride the course for the new addition to the MNCSC - Single Track Attack!


New Gear you say - A New Full Frame Camera - the Nikon D-700, along with a prime lens and another lens that came with it. You really can never have to many of them, really! A few other new items but I wont bore you with that.


In the photo realm of my little world, things are starting to get crazy busy!! Along with the Kick off of the MNSCS series which includes 11 events, I have around 14 weddings scheduled for this summer. I think as of this morning I booked my final event, there are just not anymore weekends left.


I meet with Krissa a few weeks back and learned the joy of Senior Photos. She was a super sweet girl and was extremly fun to shoot. I only have a few teasers images on my site to pull from, but I will share a few anyways because I havent posted images in forever.






More New News, My new website has been delayed a bit but I meet with the web designer next Monday so hopefully there will be some exciting updates on that front as well.

Until Next time!
