@r_marketplace_mn is an excellent zero waste store in Anoka MN! Michelle is so sweet and passionate, in the same building downtown as 10k brewing and River Yoga. Mesa highly recommends the “little growlers” dog treats that are made from spent grains from beer breweries! @littlegrowlerstreats #anoka #anokamn @discoveranoka #smallbusiness #mnphotographer #minneapolisphotographer #anokaphotographer (at Anoka, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CotJ9z2LP0O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Photos by @wildlyconnectedphoto @thatsnicedeer is my real Valentine but Mesa our mini poodle (and me too I guess) were thrilled to attend @allcompanionpetcare and @wildlyconnectedphoto’s event. Check out both of their pages, some wonderful people. Mesa says thank you for all the cheese 🧀 (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosGu44rs24/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blue butterfly stained glass by @thatsnicedeer for sale in Anoka MN at @avantgardenanoka Here’s the first of many!

@neon.meds and @nixukinesis as Antarcticite and Phosphophyllite from Land of the Lustrous! My favorite part of cosplay photography is getting to meet new people! Working with Nixy and Jay was so fun, and really inspired me to be creative. In further posts I’ll show off their amazing wigs that shimmered just like they do in the anime ✨ #animemilwaukee #amke #cosplay #midwestcosplayer #minnesotaphotographer #minneapolisphotographer #animedetour #detour #photography #landofthelustrous #landofthelustrouscosplay #phos #antarc #hosekinokuni (at Anime Milwaukee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoWL3IyLWOH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I'll never let him make you sad ever again.” Mirio - hero name Lemillion from My Hero Academia @bbdesigncosplay was so nice and fun to work with!

“I-I'm a meowsy dancer.", Meku responded before she exclaimed and grew more saddened. "No, now I'm even starting to talk like a cat!” Haru @thatsnicedeer The Baron @doccosplay Photo by me! Photo Description: A cosplay from “The Cat Returns”. Haru is sitting at a table and the baron is leaning over asking her to dance. #animemilwaukee #amke #cosplay #midwestcosplayer #minnesotaphotographer #minneapolisphotographer #milwaukeemodels #photography #thecatreturns (at Anime Milwaukee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNN2WkrT3p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This big beautiful family was so fun and welcoming (I may have been bribed with a chocolate chip pancake). I’m glad I brought my birding camera because the boys were running fast! Thanks again @elsaandherboys and everyone for having me out. Last non cosplay post for a while - We are getting ready for Anime Milwaukee! It will be a whirlwind of photoshoots, petting the resident valet dog Millie at the hotel and trying to keep the number of figurine purchases by @thatsnicedeer to a reasonable amount.😅 #minnesota #winterengagement #lgbt #lgbtphotographer #loveislove #minnesotaphotographer #portraitphotography #mnphotographer #anokaphotographer (at Palmer Lake Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoD7sl5rzou/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got to tag along with @jamiecroyle1 of @houseofoilworx to the MN senate to watch her testify to the commerce committee. I appreciate all the work people like Jamie are doing to advocate for Minnesotans. 💚 #anoka #anokamn #minnesotaphotographer #anokaphotographer (at Minnesota State Capitol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDZ_BgPZbP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Okay last bird pic for now :) @thatsnicedeer tells me this is a “light morph” Red Tailed Hawk. I saw it go one way, and patience paid off as eventually it flew back, and so close I was able to get some good detail! Go to the third image for the goose I’ve named hank that was not super pleased I was interrupting. #mnphotographer #anokaphotographer #minnesotaphotographer (at Anoka, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0DIaWL1bF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A GoldenEye duck on the Mississippi yesterday! Taken from a park in Champlin MN. This duck dives to eat fish, eggs, and invertebrates. Seemed to be good swimmers, and I actually saw one almost get picked up by a bald eagle! #minnesotaphotographer #wildlifephotography #anoka #mississippiriver #mississippiphotographer (at Anoka, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnztQ9mL1zp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Downy woodpecker I met today in Anoka! So glad I have @thatsnicedeer to help me identify birds. 🐦 Okay everyone this is a first, so tell me if you would rather I stick to cosplay photos 😅 #mnphotographer #birdphotography #minnesotawildlife #wildlifephotography (at Anoka, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxFIFoL-lF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m so grateful to have been along on this engagement, these two are so in love. The matching carhartt outfits 🥰 As if you needed a reason to like them any more, they have six adorable dogs! #anokaphotographer #minnesotaphotographer #winterengagement #wedding #engagementphotographer #engaged #engagedaf #dogdad #ftm #Igbt #femaletomale #trans #rescuedogsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #loveislove #egaulity #carhartt #tindersuccessstory (at Anoka, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnwhtZ_r1v-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some post engagement photos after our cold walk at @avantgardenanoka ! I actually met these two there and it was only fitting to take a few with some coffee afterword ☕️ These shot by myself. Thanks again to @abisutcliffephoto for coming along on the shoot, check out her page for some amazing shots of these two as well! #minnesotaphotographer #minnesotaweddingphotographer #minneapolisphotographer #minneapolisweddingphotographer #mnweddingphotographer #anokaphotographer #anoka (at Avant Garden Bookstore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuRDdXr8K_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The moment was so cute ☺️. We took these in Anoka by the Rum River Dam. A very pretty spot, and right next to downtown. My next post I’ll show you the coffee photos we got afterword! #minnesotaphotographer #minnesotaweddingphotographer #minneapolisphotographer #minneapolisweddingphotographer #mnweddingphotographer #anokaphotographer #anoka (at Anoka, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuPPLhrBZs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SO HAPPY for these two. Had the honor of shooting Elsa and Kaycen’s engagement. Very important that you look at the second image to see Beefy, who had the ring on his collar and rolled in the snow the whole time. 🐶 ❤️ Shoutout to @abisutcliffephoto for helping me with the shoot. I plan to post two more from this set tomorrow! #minnesotaphotographer #minnesotaweddingphotographer #minneapolisphotographer #minneapolisweddingphotographer #mnweddingphotographer #anokaphotographer #anoka (at Anoka, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CntIFR5Mqwe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blupees by @cors.cos @sunstiitch @kumaokea and @ethericacosplay 🐇💙🦉 I have this full album done so I’m going to post so many of these. They were so fun and we got hundreds of good images. Zelda breath of the wild was such an important game for me, so I’m grateful that these four awesome cosplayers took time to do a shoot. #cosplay #holmat #amke #amke2023 #photography #cosplayphotography #zelda #zeldabreathofthewild #botw #botw2 #botwcosplay #zeldacosplay (at Holiday Matsuri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKaR0trhby/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
