Last year, I received a call from a local charity called Thelma’s Place.  They asked me if I would be able to donate a session for their silent auction.   After learning a little bit about the center, I said yes.  Thelma’s Place is a non-profit center that helps Alzheimer’s and other dementia patients.  It offers their care givers a much needed break.

The event was called “The Sound of Music.”  It started off with drinks and a silent auction.  After a delicious dinner, Dr. Larry Sherman gave an amazing presentation about music and the brain.   He was very captivating and he played the piano beautifully.

You can see the family who bought my session here.

I truly had such a wonderful time photographing this event.  Everyone was so kind, the food was amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Sherman’s presentation.  Thelma’s Place is an amazing organization and I invite you to please visit their page and learn more about them.

I was so excited to have the opportunity to photograph Isaac’s first birthday party.  I was lucky enough to photograph his mom’s maternity photos, his newborn photos, and his nine month photos.

This was absolutely the best birthday party I’ve ever attended.  There was so much delicious food and so many fun things to do.  Everyone had a blast!!

I love being a Woodbury MN photographer but I sure do miss my Portland families!

It has been a privilege watching this sweet boy grow up.

I don’t normally photograph weddings, but every now and then there is one that I can’t turn down.  I have known Morgan for her entire life.  Our families have been best friends forever.  I was so excited when she got engaged and couldn’t wait to photograph her and Joe’s special day.

It was such a beautiful wedding and you can tell these two are madly in love with each other.

Congratulations, Morgan and Joe!!
