Last month I got to go on a ‘business’ trip to Minneapolis. Yes, it was business. Technically I was hired to come for a shoot of the wonderful Michael B… honestly though, it was so much fun I almost forgot it was business. Not only is Michael an amazing photographer, he is one of the most fun/sweet guys you’ll ever meet (yes girls, he is single… ;) ) He showed me Minneapolis, introduced me to some other fabulous photographers (Sally & Eliesa- Blu’s Girl of the year!) and, well, was just the most awesome host a girl could ask for!
I fell in love with his adorable (SUPER adorable) children. His little girl is honestly the sweetest thing I have ever met and his son is boy through & through and I couldn’t love him more for it!
Without further ado…
lisa m.: shannon, the images of michael and his children are amazing...you totally captured every beautiful element of them and what an amazing father michael is to his babies...its ALL fab!! I loves it!! (08.27.2008 09:35pm)

Kara May: Sigh....love these. Adorable kidlets and what a hip dad. Fabulous session! (08.28.2008 05:16am)
cindy cieluch: NO WAY!!!! I'm dyin' over how ridiculously CUTE/INCREDIBLE these are. The one of the little girl with her hand on her hip made me stop and SMILE - way too much cuteness....and the ones of the boy with the hat & then Michael with the hat are PERFECT. Love the family...love the chair...love the locations. And I can back up just how awesome Michael is! I was freezing cold at a WPPI party...and he literally gave me the shirt off his back so I could warm up. Complete gentleman. Again, fun shoot Shannon...fun way to kick off my morning...

Bea: Hey Shannon! Jack and Ella's mom here. How cool are you!? this is just awesome stuff! Can't say enough about how beautiful your work is and how unproductive my workday is going to be due to staring at them in awe instead of working... Ok so you did have some amazingly cute subjects (mom clears throat)but the real question is ... really how much work did you put into Michael's photo :-)... oh ok, I am kidding!! ;-) Thanks for the beautiful pics!!
