The 23rd | Happy Belated Holidays

I honestly can’t remember if I already blogged these pictures, but I looked under the ‘portrait’ category and I couldn’t find them, so here they are!  These were the images that made up my family’s Christmas cards this year.  I’m off to Lutsen this weekend to ski so I guess I was feeling wintery.  Have [...]

The 17th | Silent Film

The 6th | It’s my birthday…

And the only thing I could find to photograph was this gas station. It’ll do for a cold Minnesota winter’s night.
