Spuce Flowers and Home

I think you can tell by this very long blog post, how much I am love with this new flower shop! Spruce Flowers and Home is located at 48th and Chicago in South Minneapolis. I have been there several times now to purchase flowers for myself and friends...it is so affordable! Also, it is so fun to just come in and talk with the owner Amy. She has so much to share about flowers. When I found out she offers classes I jumped at the chance to take one and learn more about flower arranging from her. She had a lot of great tips and we got to take a beautiful flower arrangement home!

So when I got up the nerve to ask her to come in and photograph her store, I was so excited when she said yes!! I fell in love with photography by starting to photograph flowers when I was 10! I love the way you can make flowers look abstract. I really enjoyed coming in on a rainy Tuesday afternoon to just explore her store with my camera. Thank you so much Amy for being to generous, I really appreciate it! I really enjoy your store and have had a great time getting to know!

If you have not been to this wonderful flower shop, you have to go now!!! I mean like right now! Trust me, you will fall in love with the store just as much as I have.

I love that you can belly up to the "bar" and have Amy help you with your arrangment. It's so fun to sit down and have a converstation with her and learn more about flowers!

Fun with Fish Eye!

The last couple of weekends I have rented a Fish Eye Lens to get a different perspective on the events I was photographing. It was so much fun to play around with. I also got a chance to get out and photograph my neighborhood with the lens. It was so fun to experiment and see how, what I was looking at with my eye would turn out with a different eye! I wish I could afford to buy such a cool lens. For now I think I will continue to rent it!

Fashion Shoot at the W hotel

I will be photographing an event called Project Ego Trip at the W hotel, downtown Minneapolis, this Saturday! I am super excited for the event and the opportunity that comes with it! Project Ego Trip is a dinner, fashion show, and party through the Black Student Union at the University of Minneasota. Earlier this month I went to the W and had a fashion shoot with some of the models that will be in the fashion show. Here are some of the photos from that day...
