Twin Cities Fun!

So Randy and I have been on the road A LOT lately.  We spent Easter in St. Louis with family and have been non-stop ever since.  Of course on our travels we have had our cameras.  I spent April 10th and 11th in St. Paul with my girls.  I actually lived up in the Twin Cities Metro area after graduation from Luther for about a year before moving back south.  There are things I miss (Cities 97) and things I don't miss (traffic).  I really miss being around my friends, they are my soul.  I will never have a sister (unless of course Scotti or Steve get movin!) and these girls are the closest thing to a sister that I can have.  They asked if I would bring my camera to ladies weekend so they could have some new head shots.  I was like yeah, how hard can that be?  Sara is just amazingly beautiful.  I don't think she knows just how gorgeous she really is.

I think Sara might kill me for putting this on the blog, but it really shows how much fun we were having!  You rock that look sista!

I love this next picture.  She just looks so classic!

Then there is Kaye.  Without looking she has become such a dear friend to me.  I feel like we really missed out not being closer while in school.  I hope that our friendship continues for many many years.  You just look stunning in this picture!

In the next picture you look awesome!

This next picture was just for fun at the end, but its one of my favs.  It really shows just how much fun we had and how many teeth we have too ;)

Ladies, I don't know how to thank you enough for the love, support and encouragement you have given me in the last few years.  We have all been through so much together that I can't imagine my life without you!  As you both enter new phases in your lives I wish you nothing but happiness because you deserve nothing but happiness.

Ok, now to the boring stuff :)  Randy and I took a workshop up in the Cities the 17th and 18th to learn about some of the latest and greatest photography techniques.  It was 2 days of awesome!  This first picture I snapped while our instructor was talking about some settings and playing with some things on the menus.  If you know me you know I am a hands on learner so of course I took my camera out and started to play.  Just as I was getting things right he turned and said "of course you're not doing this on your camera right now!" and looked right at me.  I nearly busted a gut right there.  Its a good thing he has a sense of humor!

In this next one he was demonstrating something :)  No, he wasn't taking a picture, but I think its funny I got a shot of him demonstrating with the cap on.

Seriously though we learned a lot and are looking forward to putting it to good use with the upcoming wedding blitz!  We start this weekend with Erin and Wade in Cedar Rapids!  I can't wait!
