"Visioning" the coming wedding season

Good morning world,

January and February are quieter months in the wedding biz. It's a natural time to think about how we want to be working in the coming season: what kind of images do we hope to produce, what kind of experience do we hope to create with clients, how do we hope to grow as artists/photographers. We've been wedding photographers for more than a decade, and have covered hundreds of events. Our hope is that no two of them look the same in the final images. Here are a handful of shots from recent weddings.

Best, Margie and Pat

 

Looking ahead to spring

Good morning world,

I was looking through last some of last summer's senior photo shoots. It's always fun to be reminded that we will once again walk, romp and play outdoors - among blooming flowers and under a warm sun! We love winter, but that ability to really work with the outdoor environment is part of what makes our senior photos special. The sessions are informal and fun; it's a wonderful chance to explore the inner dimension of portraiture.And working with young, inspired men and women on the verge of stepping out into a new chapter of life is a privilege and a joy.

Best, Margie and Pat

 

A new decade, a new attitude!

Good morning world,

Embracing 2010 with enthusiasm, Pat and I are starting our first-ever Blog for our business: Sandhill Photography! We have worked full-time as photographers since 1998, and these years have been filled with a constant stream of change in the technology that drives our business. As everyone knows, there has been the broad transition from film to digital cameras. Goodbye darkroom...hello computer! Tremendous changes keep coming in the ways photographers work with and manipulate digital negatives. And internet marketing/communication has nearly replaced the old ways of doing business. So here we are blogging...a verb that I am fairly certain did not exist ten years ago.

We have many examples of our work which can be viewed on our website: www.sandhillphotography.net. Pat and I are primarily wedding photographers, but our photographic interests reach into many other areas as well. Pat is a FABULOUS musician and enjoys photographing musicians and performers at the Cedar Cultural Center, where he is the one and only staff photographer. I balance my photography work teaching yoga and movement classes throughout the Twin Cities, and enjoy photographing people in motion.

In the "off-season" for wedding photography, we just try to get out and about completing different types of personal and professional projects. We'd like to use the blog to show some of these other dimensions of our work. Toward that end, I'm putting up some examples of a recent diversity project I completed.

Wishing the world peace, tolerance and joy in the New Year!
Best, Margie and Pat
