Twin Cities Event Photographer - The Twin Cities Birth & Baby Expo

This year I had the pleasure of being an exhibitor and photographer at the Twin Cities Birth and Baby Expo.  Enjoy these highlights, (as well as the babywearing video at the bottom of this post), and be sure to join us next year!

Twin Cities Yoga Photographer - Blooma Yoga

This has been such an amazing, productive month for me.  I have had the opportunity to photograph some incredible people, and I can hardly wait to show you all that I've been working on.

One of my favorite shoots was for Blooma Yoga, located in Edina Minnesota (with a second site in St Paul).  Our model Mindy (also seen here) was so talented and easy to work with - and flexible according to all meanings of the word (all this while 7 months pregnant - seriously, I doubt my ability to form certain yoga positions at normal size!).

The Yoga photoshoot was not only fun and educational - it also got me so psyched to start yoga lessons, this fall!  With Minnesota's Siberian Winter inevitably heading our way, as well as a new little addition to the Dahl household come March (yes, that's right!), the prospect of an active yet relaxing way to spend my winter months is a very exciting one for me.  I may even take little Debbie to a Yoga for Tots class - or when I really need a break, take advantage of the childcare!!

Enjoy the photos below, and allow them inspire you to new heights of physical activity. ;-)

Twin Cities Maternity Photographer - Pregnant is Beautiful

This week I had the opportunity to shoot a really fun yoga session at Blooma Yoga (more on this, to come!).

After capturing some amazing yoga positions (really, they were impressive, especially at 7 months pregnant!!), our beautiful model Mindy asked if I could do a little "mini" Maternity session with her.  Well, of course! She was such a joy to photograph, and we came up with some beautiful, lovely photos that I can hardly wait to show her.

Below you will find my personal favorite from the day. She looks so peaceful and happy.  I just love it.  Thank you for letting me share this, Mindy!
