Going outside

March 07, 2015 in Trying New Things

Meet my friend Andrea. She convinced me to, just for a day, focus my camera on landscapes instead of people. She reminded me that every once in a while (read: often) you have to step out of what's familiar and try something new. 

Last month, Andrea invited me to ride with her around Minneapolis to do some shooting. This week we met up and shot a few of the Minneapolis staples, like:

The skyline,

Saint Anthony Falls,

and the Mill City Museum.

I'll admit, and she'll attest, that I constantly mentioned how I prefer shooting people. So I snuck some shots in.

I definitely see myself doing a little more landscape photography in the future, but I know my heart is in capturing moments with people. Thankfully, I will be doing a lot of that in the upcoming month.

 

P.S. Andrea owns Yarning Bee, a budding, small business that creates amazing hand-knit and hand-crocheted items. Check her out and support her work: https://yarningbee.wordpress.com

An impromptu cousin photo shoot
Sometimes your little coworkers make a bunch of noise and all your husband does is take pictures. Hats off to moms!
The boys saw my new lights and wanted to take photos.
Today was a difficult day of "work." But the day was made significantly better thanks to insight from @haymaymj, kind words from @kminh05, and post-bath snuggles with this little one.

We're not meant to do life/work/whatever by ourselves.
