Last week I shared the images of the rustic cabin in Grand Rapids, MN. I thought that it would be interesting to share what the editing process looks like for just one of the images. Believe it or not, this was actually a relatively simple edit.
Last week, I talked about storytelling with photos. This shoot was a perfect example how why storytelling is important. So what does storytelling have to do with photos of a fireplace? Well, how many times have you looked at a photo of a fireplace and had an emotional reaction to it like you get with a book or a movie? My guess would be never. Ok, maybe once – but probably not.
Storytelling has become kind of a cliche in the business world over the last few years, but the truth is – it does often matter when it comes to your business. When people look at your logo, or think about your business – you want them to experience a positive emotional reaction of some sort.
Last week, I featured some of the photos of the Northern Lakeside Home. From the photos, you probably have a pretty good idea as to what the space looks like. Maybe even how it might feel to be in the home?

This past fall, I had the pleasure of working once again with Renae Keller on a modern home in Northern MN. We arrived 2 nights before the shoot as we had scheduled a scouting day the following morning. I prefer to do a scout on each shoot as it helps me to pre-visualize the shoot day and helps things run smoothly – allowing us to maximize the amount on time spent shooting.

The only word that comes to mind when I go back to the first couple weeks of things shutting down due to Covid is “bizarre”. Like many others, it had me strongly contemplating a career shift, but not in a completely different field. Prior to Covid, I had considered myself primarily a residential interiors and architectural photographer…
I had been driving by this location regularly and I was never quite sure what was going up. Was it a new retail location? When I found out it was the Storage Lounge, I was thinking that it was a retail store that sold storage and organization supplies. Would make sense, right? I would certainly welcome it…
I am a big believer in just putting things out there and seeing where they take you. When Covid hit and things started slowing down, I started a personal project photographing many of the commercial buildings in my city. One of those buildings was Pioneer Bank. I had been driving by this location every single day, and had watched this building go up since the beginning…
