Right after her brother's wedding, she lost her 'dream job' and was a bit conflicted as to what she should do next. She knew what she loved and she knew what she was good at...and all of a sudden it came to her, a blog. She channeled all of her energy into putting it together and I must say, I think it is going to be a hit!
Tamara loves everything celebrity, fashion, and trends. She is also always hot-on-the-gossip and never holds back her honest opinion about whatever is the latest hot-topic.
For her blog, she wanted to do a 'spoof' of celebrities', which she asked me to shoot. Our goal was to make them super sarcastic and cheezy, which I think we achieved! ;0)
I highly encourage you all to check out Almost Taymous and in her own words:
"After closely following the ups and downs of the lives of celebrities, it is clear that being famous has its price. So I will move in a slightly different direction, since anyone can be famous these days, only one can be Almost Taymous."
Here's to following your dreams!
LOVEe
Kelley and Nate are two of my all-time favorite people and I am just SO happy for these two! Not only are they amazing friends, but they also make THE most adorable babies!
A little fact-o: Lily and Liam are 2 months old now, but weren't suppose to be born for another 3 days from now....they were super-preemies, but they are sure strong little buggers with a lot of personality!
Congratulations to Kelley and Nate on the new little ones!
LOVEe
WOOO WEEEE!!!! First off, than you all for your comments, e-mails, texts, tweets and facebook comments on the images from Part 1 of the Rockstar Boudoir Photography Event! The photographs are getting quite the response and I'm super stoked about it! Many of you are asking about the post processing, so I'll explain my thought process a little more! The inspiration I gathered for this year's event was influenced heavily by Polaroid film. It was also inspired heavily by the beautiful and unpredictable 'mistakes' that are made when shooting film in general - especially light leaks. I have always thought that light leaks are gorgeous and I'm very happy with my re-creation of this effect into these images!
Mission Accomplished! Now, onto the hot stuff...
I'm going to go ahead and give a big HELL YEAH to all of the ladies who were a part of this year's Rockstar Boudoir Photography Event - you are all gorgeous!
LOVEe
This year's Rockstar Boudoir Photography Event was a GREAT success! All of the ladies who took party in the night-o-fun were super cool, super hot and up for absolutely anything! We also had a bunch of fun rocking out to some LOUD music and sipping some bubbly! I host this event each year for 2 reasons:
This year, we kept the event in the studio, with a simple white background. All of the inspiration I pulled was very influenced by fashion and Polaroid film as well, along with grainy b&w - let me know what you think! Enjoy!!!
Special thank-you to Brynn and Lisa for their expertise on hair + makeup!
Stay tuned for more hot photos tomorrow!
LOVEe

This was THAT house! I absolutely loved this family and really enjoyed photographing them! There were 22 people, total, so I broke everyone down into their respective families before the GRAND family photo! Here are some of my favorite images!

Brian is the calm in their relationship - and it is the perfect balance, since these two have been married for 7 years! I asked them what the secret to 7 years was and they said, "Laugh and be Nerds..." Alright, I'll take that advice and run with it!
I also have to give major props to these two for supporting local fashion: Brian's jacket is by Laura Fulk and Aurora's dress is by Joynoelle!
LOVEe
Stephanie got married 2 months ago and what a lucky husband she is going to have! As a wedding gift, she flew all the way from Chicago and treated herself to a boudoir photography session for her man! We had our session at the A Loft Hotel in downtown Minneapolis and I really enjoyed shooting a boudoir session in this space! A special thank you to Hana for doing Stephanie's Hair + Makeup! Now, enough chatter, time to look at some haute boudoir photography!
Ooooh La Laaa!

I've been meaning to photograph my 90 year old grandmother for a long time. 90 years old. What does that look like? 90 years old. What do you do? 90 years old. What makes you happy?
I can say that at 90 years old, Grandma, as she is known to everyone, is quite the woman. Her favorite past time is entertaining, chatting and playing board games. Taking her photograph was so much fun, because it was definitely the highlight of her day, but it was more than that. It was an opportunity to really document an amazing woman.
LOVE>FILM!
