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

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 […]

The Great Reset

Posted on April 28, 2022April 28, 2022by sharyn
Starry night sky with trees

Sometimes a course correction is needed. I’ve gotten better at identifying these situations more quickly and coming up with solutions. Recently, I wrote about this on my old school blog. Call it the Great Resignation or Reshuffle or what have you. But I needed a career reset. This week I started a new job. I […]

Letting the Days Go By

Three giant deep sea diver kites trailed by a giant manta ray kite

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 […]

Famously Gloomy

Posted on January 21, 2015September 8, 2016by sharyn

Salt and Light Last weekend we attended the annual Winter Kite Festival on Lake Harriet. The weather has been remarkably mild, which makes the winter more bearable. But it’s been awfully overcast. And the mild temps might not hold so I’m adding to my previous list of activities to get us through until Spring: Each […]

Polar Night

Posted on January 6, 2015September 8, 2016by sharyn

The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul The shortest day of the year is behind us now, in the Northern Hemisphere. As are the holidays and the distractions they bring. Now what’s a Minnesotan to do? Sadly it looks like the Art Shanty Projects are taking this winter off. But the St. Paul Winter Carnival […]

Might As Well Jump

Posted on July 26, 2014September 8, 2016by sharyn

Go ahead, jump. Making the commitment to get married is no small thing. But many friends have made the leap this year. It’s already been a fun summer of wedding celebrations, with more to come. One lovely couple eloped over the winter (smack dab in the middle of the polar arctic vortex) and saved the […]

Drone Fest

Posted on March 4, 2014September 8, 2016by sharyn

Doctors Without Borders My friend Luke Heiken organized a benefit show for Doctors Without Borders (donations are still being accepted here). But it wasn’t your usual sort of benefit show. It was a 28-hour long drone fest. And it happened last month at The Cedar Cultural Center. I managed to be present for about half […]

Forward March

Posted on July 18, 2012September 8, 2016by sharyn

Follow the Leader It has been an exceptionally hot and generally dry summer, filled with activities. I’m pausing on this rare rainy day to look back at a subset of these outdoor activities. Marching band parades. One was a dry run along the West Bank, from the Mixed Blood Theatre to The Nomad World Pub. […]
