On May 19th, an auction house in Chicago will offer an important piece of Minnesota's architectural history for sale to the public - Frank Gehry's Winton House. Our photographer Thea, was lucky to be called upon to document the house in its current home near Owatonna, MN. If you have a few minutes, read up on the history here, http://www.wright20.com/pages/gehry.

Local event planner Gretchen, from Twirl Events, created a jazzy Speakeasy-esque fete for a local capital management company looking to treat their employees. The Nicolette Island Pavilion was transformed into a dark and spotlit club, fit with a cocktail bar, wine and beer tastings, and a build-your-own mashed potato buffet.

That moment when a bride gets into the dress is a significant part of the wedding day coverage that our team photographs. These photos show the intimate moments between the bride and all the people who are there to help them get into the dress, and how important it is to have them there to help.

A Look Back at 2014 // Post by Thea
in Thea
Happy New Year! As I look back at 2014, I see a life filled with happy occasions. There was a new baby, a rambunctious toddler, a handsome husband, and loads of supportive friends and clients.
Okay, so there was also spit up on everything, tantrums at Target, sleeplessness, and epically cold weather. But, really, who cares about all that.
Thank you to all of you that made the year sweet. Below are a few of my favorite photos from 2014 or, what I could gather to write this post before Annika wakes from her nap.
Best Moment of the Year // Post by Thea
