mckinley CSA week three

This week’s share from McKinley CSA in north Minneapolis, Minnesota includes broccoli, beans, red potatoes, spring onions, raspberries, basil, lettuce mix, and beets.

How did I use last week's share?

Tonight I made soup with the napa cabbage - it included red potatoes (farmer's market), onion, and garlic (back yard).
I made amazing rhubarb crisp.
I made the same bok choy skillet thing that I made last week but I used a different kind of quinoa this time.
I sautéed the mustard greens with garlic and onions as a side last night.
The snow peas were part of a stir fry.
More napa cabbage found it's way into vegetarian fajitas that were full of all kinds of things like red and green peppers, onions, zucchini, and more!

I've enjoyed following this little peach for nearly a year now and was happy to see her again to photographer her at six months old.  Her mama and I trade services - she is a massage therapist.  :)  I first photographed little Sophie in her mama's belly last fall and again in December just after she was born.

It's so much fun to follow a family and see how their children and their lives change.  For this purpose I have packages that make things a little easier and cheaper - From Bump to Babe includes both maternity and newborn photos and is only $200 - First year includes Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months and is only $400.

Here are some of my favorites from my time with Sophie:

a joyful and sunny wedding { frost on flower }

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing a very joyful wedding! As you'll see from the photos below, the union of Sarah and Mike was very special! Honestly I think they may be the happiest and excited couple that I have yet to experience in wedding photography. I had so much fun during the editing process because their emotions certainly made an appearance in every photo!

Sarah and Mike, their wedding party, family, and guests were all such a pleasure to work with. Forecasters were giving us such mixed (and somewhat scary!) information about the weather that day but the rain held off and the ceremony was full of warm sun. This is certain to be a wedding that I remember. :)

Thanks for the opportunity to witness your marriage, Sarah and Mike! I had a wonderful time and, as always, congratulations!! :)
