One of my favorite shots from my shoot with @edinadanceteam earlier this week 💚 How stunning is @rozlynlippert in this beautiful garden?! Many thanks to all the dancers who shared their time and talent with me - I can’t wait to edit the rest! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am booking dancer shoots (individual, small group, or team) through the rest of the summer and early fall 📸✨ I am observing health guidelines and prioritizing outdoor / social distance shoots, which allows for plenty of creativity while still keeping everyone safe. Send me a message if you’d like more info! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Going back to work after such a long break had me feeling some anxiety, and dealing with the irrational fear that I had somehow forgotten how to do my job. But it was just what I needed and having a couple of successful work days has rippled into other areas of my life to provide much needed motivation. Sharing in case anyone else is struggling with the same thing - you are not alone, and you have not forgotten how to do what you love! 💜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dance #dancephotography #dancephotoshoot #dancersofinstagram #nikon #nikonphotography #dancelife #minneapolisphotographer #minneapolisdance #dancephotographer #dancepictures #movement #minnesota #worldwidedance #photoideas #dancersofig #dancepose #outdoordance #outdoorphotoshoot

I had been quiet on this account since COVID-19. I was not working at all and did not know what to say. The depression and uncertainty was crippling to me. I have come to realize that one of the darkest times I have experienced pales in comparison to what black people and other marginalized groups feel on a daily basis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The recent tragedy surrounding George Floyd has further highlighted how much work still needs to be done to ensure that every human being is treated with respect and given the same opportunities. There is no one book we can read, no one donation we can make, no one difficult conversation we can have to magically fix it - it is an ongoing effort. It will take years of active work, on an individual level and beyond, to help make this world safer. I live in and love Minneapolis. It is heartwarming to see my neighbors come together to mourn, rebuild, and reform. Let’s keep it going. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am going to post some opportunities and resources in my story - please check them out! I will also regularly highlight the work of marginalized photographers and dancers. When the pandemic risk settles, I plan to organize fundraising photo shoots and donate my time to help serve the community in artistic and honest ways. I know it’s a long road ahead, but I’m up for walking the walk. Sending love ❤️

“The more technologically advanced the human species got, the more isolated they seemed to become at the same time. It was alarming, how humans could spend entire lifetimes engaged in all kinds of activities, without getting any closer to knowing who they really were, inside.” ― Jess C Scott, The Other Side of Life ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dance #dancephotography #dancephotoshoot #dancersofinstagram #nikon #nikonphotography #dancelife #minneapolisphotographer #minneapolisdance #dancephotographer #studiophotography #profotousa #dancepictures #photoshopart #movement #minnesota #worldwidedance #photoideas #isolation #moodedits #dancersofig #dancepose #backflexibility

“I love to see the sunshine on the wings of the Dragonflies… there is magic in it.” ― Ama H.Vanniarachchy This is obviously a tough time for everyone. My heart goes out to all who are out of work, canceling their trips and birthday parties, having to end their sports seasons and missing their graduations. All of us are experiencing our own repercussions and having to make drastic sacrifices and changes to our lives. My wish for everyone reading this is to try to find one moment of magic every day. Even if it doesn’t fall into your lap, even if you have to work to seek it out. Even if it is simple. I am trying to use this time to refocus and zero in on what I used to appreciate before I “grew up” - before the job I love that keeps me busy, before the emails and the taxes and file management. Before I had a house of my own to clean, before I watched the news and was aware of real-life tragedy every single day. And it was these little things, like sunshine on dragonfly wings. Do everything you can to find these little things while you’re being kept from the big things. Love to you all. #dance #dancephotography #dancephotoshoot #dancersofinstagram #nikon #nikonphotography #dancelife #minneapolisphotographer #minneapolisdance #dancephotographer #studiophotography #profotousa #dancepictures #digitalcollage #digitalartwork #photoshopart #mixedmedia #creativity #movement #minnesota #worldwidedance #photoideas #dragonfly #wings #findthemagic

Unstoppable ✨ @farmingtondanceteam_ I had so much fun capturing this team’s BOSS kick routine. Thank you to their coaches for having me in to do this, and thank you to all of these dancers who really pushed themselves on this shoot day (p.s. cheers to their alternate for stepping up to the plate after a last minute injury) and beyond. You get better every year and I love having a front row seat as you fight for your crown! 🧡 Full link in bio! #dance #danceteam #dancevideo #dancevideography #kickdance #highkick #danceroutine #danceperformance #groupdance #minneapolisphotographer #mndance #farmington #farmingtonmn #unstoppable #dancevid #dancers #choreography #minnesotavideo #competitivedance #teamwork
