A foraged dinner on a farm

I was fortunate enough to attend and take photos of a meal of mostly foraged foods by Red Wing, MN.

Salon Saloon with handmade sausage

My husband, Jim, wsa the guest co-host of Salon Saloon recently and I took a few photos. Besides the guests and interviews, Chef Chris Olson of Paired made sausage on stage for a little cook out afterwards. It was, as you might imagine, quite delicious.

Minnesota Orchestra Behind the Scenes Event

I had the opportunity to photograph a Behind-the-Scenes conducting event at the Minnesota Orchestra a few weeks ago. The event paired the young professional orchestra patrons with the assistant conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra, Sarah Hicks.

After giving background on conducting in general, Sarah Hicks led the group in the basics of holding that little stick and leading a group (in this case, a lovely quartet).

Paired – a dining event based around art

I recently was lucky enough to go to Paired, wherein local chef Chris Olson creates a meal based around the work of a local artist. My husband wrote about it on Heavy Table, but I wanted to include a few more photos about the event that didn’t make it into the article.

Flak Radio Live – Midtown Global Market

Flak Radio recorded a live show at the Midtown Global Market last Sunday. The market was bustling with people, and it was a really fun environment to be in. Here are a few of my favorite images from the session:

Local singer/songwriter Chastity Brown provided musical interludes.

Flak Radio 100th episode live

About a month ago I had a great time photographing Flak Radio’s 100th episode live. My husband is the co-host, and I took the opportunity to play with some gels for my lights and generally run all over. I should mention that, besides interviews and some audience participation, there was also a pizza eating contest involving 30 inches of mixed topping pizza and 4 guests.
