A few days ago I had the pleasure of working with the City House. The City House is a group that connects those on the margins of society, who might be homeless, in prison, or in recovery, with those in the mainstream of our society, for mutual listening, learning, and transformation. I was able to document the days of mentors and leaders in this group and talk with them about the lives they have lead and the lives they currently lead, an experience I won’t soon forget.
In a couple of weeks I’m going to be doing an awesome test shoot with these two talented makeup artists, Romeny and Alice. If you are a bride looking for gorgeous, flawless makeup on your wedding day, look no further. These two have amazing skills and delightful personalities. Here are some shots from a 10 minute portrait session we shot last week. Keep your eyes open in early May for our upcoming test shoot!
Winter in Minnesota is cold. It’s cold and windy and (often but not always) covered in snow. But winter in Minnesota? It can be breathtakingly beautiful too. If you surrender to the cold and the damp and the wind you can get portraits more beautiful than you ever imagined. Of course it helps if your model is the gorgeous and easy-going Lauren Beuckman and the florals and styling are the brainchild of Jackie from Munster Rose. The moral of the story? Don’t let a few chills slow you down…just surrender.
When I first was presented with an opportunity to shoot for Rivets and Roses I was both excited and a bit nervous. I had never seen myself as a wedding photographer and frankly was not exactly interested in it. I got my start as a photographer shooting concerts in the Minneapolis area and from there with my background in design began working with musicians on album design/photography, promotional material, etc and that is something I will always do, but I yearned for more. I truly enjoy documenting the events of the night at a said concert but to me there wasn’t enough substance or emotion. I always left satisfied but I felt I was in need of documenting something with a bit more depth.
This is Jackie. Jackie is not only drop-dead beautiful, but she is also the talent behind one of my favorite florists of all time, Munster Rose. Jackie and I have a little collaboration that we’re working on at sunrise tomorrow and I can’t wait to show it to you. Stay tuned for a sneak peek of her amazing work!
