And So It Grows

Group shot of three generations of a family standing under a tree in full Fall colors

Repeat customers are the best. I’ve been delighted to photograph some folks several times over the years. One particular family has added a child with each session. This year, I had the good fortune to photograph them on an absolutely perfect Fall day.

Good Neighbors

A young man in a football uniform standing with giant metal letters spelling the word GOLD

When I was pregnant with my son I went into panic-nesting mode and bought a house in Saint Paul. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. That house gave me 12 years of stress but I don’t regret my choice. It also gave us plenty of joy. Parts of that city are quirky. […]

Finding Family

Posted on June 12, 2022August 16, 2022by sharyn
My Dad and three of his half-brothers after the Memorial Day Parade

My Dad has always been a bit of a loner. He was adopted into a small family with one non-biological sibling. They were not close. His brother and adopted parents died decades ago. So he became an orphan, again. When I was a teenager, we lost my brother to leukemia. We were very close. It […]

Letting the Days Go By

In the past, I’ve written about how challenging Minnesotan winters can be. And that was without the added obstacle of a pandemic, when it was still safe to gather indoors with friends and family. Now that we’re into our third pandemic winter, I know I took past indoor winter hangouts for granted. Or just anti-social […]

Come Wind, Come Weather

Lateef sitting on a bench on the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge

Last week I agreed to take some headshots for a friend. Outdoors, of course. A surprise Smarch blizzard led us to reschedule our original date. We met up last Saturday instead. All of the snow melted but the winds were WILD. At times it was difficult to communicate with the 40mph winds whipping by. Rather […]

Under the Bridge Residency

Music has always been a huge part of my life. When I was a small child I would dance around the living room as my Dad’s reel to reel player. He played everything from Elton John to the William Tell Overture. In my early teens, I started attending live music shows with my friends. And […]

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

These days I’m spreading myself a bit thin. I have a full-time day job and have taken on a part-time teaching job at night. It has been an interesting learning experience for me but means I have less time available for photography clients. Thankfully, the timing worked out such that I was able to photograph […]

Here We Goat Again

Posted on March 20, 2019March 20, 2019by sharyn

Happy Vernal Equinox! We celebrated Spring a little early. Technically it was St. Patrick’s Day but that doesn’t mean a whole lot to us. We were just excited to hang out on a friend’s goat farm and use his sauna. That was a fantastic way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon. It will be even […]

Feeling Minnesota

Posted on February 12, 2019February 12, 2019by sharyn

Minnesota apologists will claim this is just a normal winter, like the kind we had when we were kids. But no. This extreme weather has all been occurring in a more condensed window. As a friend put it, “it’s like we get all of winter’s greatest hits in one week.” Extreme cold, ice storms, two […]

The Soap Factory, Late-Stage Capitalism and a Sheriff’s Sale

Posted on December 13, 2018by sharyn

More grim news for the local Twin Cities art scene. This time it’s my beloved Soap Factory on the chopping block. This space has been important to me over the last 20+ years. In the 90s my first visits involved the minimal 4th of July events. I recall local video artists projecting their works and […]
