I ♥ Brio Art | Mexico

Happy Friday Everyone!

I got such a great response from my last post that I thought I would keep them up.  This last week was so wonderful.  I got to enjoy some quality time with my BFF Poly in sunny Mexico, get to know a new girlfriend & her husband and get in a few photos on the beach.  All-in-all fantastic.  We had some major laughs every night after dinner, probably induced by the abundance of adult beverages at our resort.   Thank you Poly for having me join in your adventure.

I spent a majoring of this last week thinking over my business and what life has given me lately.  I have been contemplating some major plans for my business and hope to be rolling them out this summer.  Kinda exciting!  I have also been putting a lot of thought into what life has to offer and what I want to get out of it.  It's going to sound funny but I watched a movie on my flight called "About Time" and it got me thinking.  It's from the same people who did "Love Actually" and "Knotting Hill" so you can guess it was a romantic comedy of sorts.  The gist is that the men in the family can travel though time and the guy in the movie decides to use this talent to get the girl he loves.  But by the end of the movie it's more about how he chooses to lead a happy life and what he does to accomplish that.  The one major thing that stuck in my mind was that he chose to relive every day twice.  The first time around going about the day as normal, and the second time around choosing to focus on the details.  Rather than rushing off in the morning to work he ran back upstairs and gave his wife a good bye kiss.  What if we could do that every day, how much more could we get out of our experiences?

Maybe I have already started doing this, maybe it started in NYC.  I've had this silly saying going though my head for years and have only started to put it into effect.  The saying is, "If you never try the answer is always no."  I usually say it when I buy a lottery ticket as a joke but I thought this in my head while I was in NYC and I went for it. Then it hit me like a lightning bolt while chatting with Poly this week.  We were discussing Sex and the City and the first line Carrie says is, "Women come to New York for the two L's: Labels and Love."  How fitting for me.  I found the latter, I'll have to go back for the labels another day.  So as Carrie would put it I have a wonderful Man-friend, boy-friends are for girls in the 20's.  At this age we are looking for something real, something important.

Next up is Europe and I can not express how excited I am.  I had mentioned this trip to my Man-friend and half joking, yet completely serious, that he should join me.  To my surprise and complete amazement he got a ticket!  I'm still jumping up and down with excitement that he will be with me in London and sharing in this adventure.  My morning cafe will be twice as sweet now that he will be there.  As my superhero would put it, "making all my dreams come true."  Then to top it off I'll be meeting up with Poly in Barcelona & Paris.

I'll keep shooting for the moon, but I'm pretty sure I've already landed in the stars.  Speaking of stars, I think it's time for my next tattoo!

Til next time! Take a peek at a few photos from our shoot below.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation_speed="faster" css_animation_delay="0"][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation_speed="faster" css_animation_delay="0"] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

I ♥ Brio Art | Jan/Feb 2014

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation_speed="faster" css_animation_delay="0"]Wow, I feel like it's been forever since I put up a personal post.  I apologize.  Life has been a whirl-wind of travel and excitement this last month.  I can't even describe how happy my heart is.  I keep waiting for the next day knowing it maybe just a normal day yet once again I'm beyond happy.  So let's start with my first trip of the year, NYC.

NYC

It was a last minute trip and I was so excited to see an old client and photograph their newborn daughter.  I booked the trip only one week prior and made a last minute hotel reservation.  The session when absolutely wonderful, baby E was awake for part of the session and then gave us some precious sleeping photos as well.  I could just see the love all over mom & dad's faces.  It still puts a smile on my face.  I can only hope that when my day comes to have a family I will radiate just as much love and happiness as I saw in their home.  After this amazing session I was pumped to go see another past client at the Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.  Her husband plays for the team so of course I was rooting super hard for them ... and they won!  I heard all about their move to NYC and how different is was than other states where he has played.  The atmosphere of NYC is like no other.  I also learned that you drink beer out of straws, interesting ... I'm kinda a fan now :)  And to top off the end of the game I was driven home, slight detour though time square so I could see it all lit up at night.  C & B you two are absolutely wonderful, thank you, I had a blast!

After a wonderful day I celebrated with a few cocktails at the hotel bar and as luck would have it I met a new friend.  More on that later.  Let's just say January in NYC was a start to a VERY good 2014!

AUSTIN

So here's the "more" ....  My new friend lives in Austin and invited me down for a warm get away.  ( This is after he spent 9 days in MPLS and even shoved my un-kept drive way, what can I say ... I don't like to shovel).  I happily agreed, the thought of warm weather and more time with him sounded perfect.  I can not express how much I enjoyed my time there.  From the wonderful walking trails, kayaking, poolside drinks to downtown night life I think I'm in love with AUSTIN.  I even hiked up to the top of Enchanted Rock, wow what a view!  So if any of you have been watching my instagram feed, you know what's been going on.  :)

Next Up

Next up is a fantastic trip to Mexico with my BFF Poly!  We plan to soak up some delicious sun rays and get in a fun photoshoot on the beach.  Wait til you see these "trash the dress" photos!  I may even spend a few hours of business planning but we will see.  The pina colada's and poolside might be more inciting than my laptop.

In Conclusion

I want to thank everyone for being a part of my life, you truly make it fun and put a smile on my face.  I am a very luck girl and I appreciate all of you so much.  I can't wait to see what the rest of 2014 will bring because dang .... Jan & Feb have been out of this world!  Til next time, CHEERS![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Vinayak & Emily :: Minnehaha Engagement Session

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation_speed="faster" css_animation_delay="0"]When a regular engagement session just wont do make sure you bring champagne!  Take a peek at this adorable couple, I am just tickled-pink I get to work with them on their wedding day(s).  I truly think my job is the best in the whole world because of all the amazing clients I get to know and work with.  I'm so excited for their upcoming India ceremony in Kochi, India this July and their American ceremony at the VanDusen, Minneapolis in August.  Stay tuned for more photos ...

Vinayak and Emily met in the Spring of 2010 when they both worked for Wells Fargo in uptown Minneapolis. On the first day they met, Vinayak jumped in the same stall of a revolving door with Emily just to keep talking to her! He seemed nice enough to Emily but they both worked in different departments so they didn’t cross paths all that often. Then, in the fall of that year Vinayak was transferred into Emily’s department and his manager let him choose from one of the open offices. As fate would have it, the office across the hall from Emily happened to be empty and Vinayak moved in.  Now Vinayak and Emily saw each other every day and, little by little, they got to know each other. Vinayak started taking his breaks outside so he could walk through the park with Emily. He’d tell her stories and jokes to make her laugh. Emily couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but working in finance just seemed more interesting these days!

By Christmas Eve of 2012, they realized that they never wanted the fun to end. Vinayak proposed (ask to see his tattoo!) and Emily said yes.
