Another Nice Day In Winona

Another beautiful day in Winona, Minn. My girlfriend and I had a little photo shoot by the river in a couple places. Had some more beautiful light, which was awesome. I'm also hoping to set up some shoots with people soon. So if anyone is interested in setting up a shoot let me know!

You have to love good light!

Hiking in the Bluffs

Today Lauren and I went hiking. It was a lot of fun, and very beautiful. We were climbing up some pretty steep stuff too right next to some cliff-like walls, and when we got to the top it was very beautiful. Not to mention there wasn't any bugs or anything yet, so that was awesome. All and all it was a very good afternoon. Check out some photos.
 

Mid West Music Fest 2012

Tonight was Mid West Music Fest, and I was busy!  It was well worth it thought.  I was working for the Winona Daily News and was going from venue to venue photographing bands.  Some artists that stuck out were, The May North, Kyle Olah, Ruben, and Charlie Parr.  If you like indie/bluegrass/rock/folk type music I think you would like those artists.  Check out some photos!

Minneapolis, Minn.

 

So the other weekend Lauren, Sarah, and I went up to Minneapolis to spend the night with my brother and his roommate.  We went and saw Fun., which was awesome, and we hung out with my brother for his birthday.  Oh and he just moved into this new house in Minneapolis and it has an awesome loft so we had to take a couple photos up there.  I'm also including some extra pictures from the last week too just for the heck of it so enjoy.  =]

Easter Weekend

Well it's Easter weekend so I went home to Bemidji, Minn. this weekend to spend some time with my family.  Whenever I get together with my brother we try and have a photo shoot.  This weekend I was also borrowing a nikon 80-200 f/2.8 af-s, which I absolutely love, so I wanted to do some shooting with that as well.
