A Duluth Visit for Visit Duluth

By
I had another round of shoots for Visit Duluth, which means that I had to drop Brooke and the kids off at the hotel and quickly get out to shoot.

 Since Scott was here for work we got spoiled with a nice suite on Lake Superior.




Blake had come over and the kids and Brooke had enjoyed the pool and whirlpool. I didn't even have any time to enjoy either this weekend. 

Meadow was excited for her own bed.

I went out and shot from early in the morning into the evening.

The kids and I had hotel breakfast.

Of course I was shooting 360s, but I also did travel photography while out for the tourism board. I did manage to eat lunch with Brooke and the kids and also get a serious sun burn. 

 Then we walked around Canal Park for awhile.

 Duluth Pack makes kids backpacks! Meadow wanted this one that matches ours.

She also wanted this Stormy Kromer hat to match Grandpa.

After a long day we met up with Scott.
Friday night means movie in the park night at Leif Erikson Park. We walked over to the park from our hotel.

Visit Duluth wanted me to shoot some photos at the movie. It was a perfect way to have some fun and get some work done.



We picked up dinner and snacks at Super One before heading over.

Tonight was way busier than the last time we came.

Tonights movie was How to Train Your Dragon 2. We never saw the first one, but Meadow still liked it.

Snack. Snack. Crunch.

I took a few pictures with my new fisheye. It's mostly for 360s, but it can also make some cool wide angle shots after a bit of correction.


Theo would not sit still during the movie. Good thing his first movie was outdoors. My fault for having him take a late nap.

The next morning I woke up super early again for sunrise.

Originally I had planned on only working Thursday and Friday, but my Saturday freed up. Visit Duluth got us an extra night at the hotel and I got them more pictures.



I guess sometimes it's worth getting up at the break of dawn.

I would come back each morning that I shot and get a few more hours of sleep in and see the fam.

Meadow sure loved this hotel with its own "hot tub."

Meadow's also wearing a skirt that she sewed herself. 

On Saturday I took the family along for my shoots. First stop was Brighton Beach.


Then we met Blake along Park Point. The greatest beach in the world. Other than Wisconsin Point, that is.





Only sand no water for this guy.

The family was the perfect models for some shots along the beach.


I'm getting used to having to get releases from strangers.

I went my separate way for a bit to capture Lincoln Park and it's plethora of craft breweries.

 While Scott finished up his work, we went with Blake to a going away party.



Eventually the family met back with me. We ate at Duluth Grill for the first time in years and headed home a few days before another job would take us to Northwest Minnesota. I'm talking border country.

Stillwater Waterfall and MN River Valley Hiking

By
  Scott had to take some sunset photos in Stillwater.  A fall color aerial 360. I hadn't been there in awhile so we tagged along. We left as soon as Meadow was done for school and headed for the St Croix Boom Site. I had heard there was a hidden waterfall and wanted to check it out. There's not a specific trail to it. From what I read you go down the stairs and take a left following the river.  I think it's an old state trail that isn't maintained and has way too much graffiti.

With Spring Comes Biking

By Anonymous
Whenever daylight savings changes I flip the mattress. (I know I'm a little late) Every new season I change the duvet cover.  Scott actually helps me this time. Yup, I'm cool like that. I was a little worried we had too much dough so we got out every pan that could be used for muffins. I was wrong, we only needed two pans. By the time we actually eat "breakfast," at least that's what Brooke calls it, Peanut has already finished most of his Organmix. I know, we spoil the little runt. Speaking of Brooke's fascination with breakfast, she will not eat anything that resembles lunch for her first meal of the day. So, even on the laziest Sunday, breakfast comes before lunch. As you can see Brooklyn really loved her muffin-fast -- even if it was already 1 p.m. While I finish up some dishes Brooke cleans the kitchen. Did you know that Brooke is a cleaning expert (really, she'll clean your house or cook for you. H...

A Few Thoughts to Pass the Time

By Anonymous
I'm sitting at the library, my new hang out besides random coffee shops. Class isn't for another 2 hours and I've finished all my homework. There's a guy running across holding his pants up and rush hour is just setting in. I never realized how weird Minnesotians actually are until I saw American Idol last night. They were doing auditions in Minneapolis, which Randy liked to call Minnehopeless. I thought it was just the culinary students that we're weird at my school, but no it's the whole state. The majority of the people that I know here are not actually from Minnesota, only one that truely is seems ok to me. Maybe I'm just like them but I don't want to admit it. School is alright. It keeps me busy. I like that some classes only have 10 students. Everyone in my Nutrition class eats healthy and reads the ingredient list but me. At least I get to take home everything I make in my baking class. Summer seems so far away. I need to find a place to live befo...
