This past week we welcomed Westin and Mika back out to the studio.

Thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography as your Prior Lake family photographer!

This past Friday Laura and Fred got hitched at the Solar Art Building in northeast Minneapolis. Finally the weather has given way to spring and what a perfect day for a wedding.

Thanks Fred and Laura for choosing Graddy Photography as your Minneapolis wedding photographer....wishing you both the very best!
Kalysa + Dustin | Minneapolis Engagement Photographer
This past week Kalysa and Dustin met up with Graddy Photography in Northfield for their engagement session. We braved the cold to beat the snow that was sure to come. It turned out to not be as bad as anticipated but still felt like winter in April. The couple plan to tie the knot this May at the JW Marriott hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota.....can't wait!

Sticks | Great Smoky Mountain Resort Photographer
This past week we hooked up our trailer and headed fast south of out this frozen tundra of Minnesota to Tennessee. We basically didn't quite know exactly where we were going but made the decision once we got half way through Missouri to stick to Tennessee instead of heading down to Gulfport/Biloxi, Mississippi. The weather was in the high 70's and even reached 80 one of the days we were there. Here are just a few fine art shots I took inside the Smoky Mountains.
Jenna + Josh | MN Maternity Photographer
This week Jenna and Josh made it down to Northfield for their maternity session. Jenna, all of 36 weeks, is hanging in there and I'm sure the day can't come soon enough. We are so thrilled for these guys to be great parents and can't wait to meet the little lady! We'll see you all again here soon!
Nordic | Brainerd Real Estate Photographer
This past week Graddy Photography covered some real estate photos of new construction being done at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, Minnesota. We love the new look of these units and can only imagine how awesome these will be in the summer with the private patio and bonfire pit in the back. We look forward to shooting many more of these units in the future!
Truffles | Best Minneapolis Food Photographer
Well I narrowly missed eating copious amounts of Easter candy with my girls this past Sunday only to be hit in the face with this shoot first thing Monday morning....but it was AWESOME! I was asked to come out to a private kitchen and shoot a line of truffles that will be hitting the streets like crack here soon. No doubt these lil' beauties or shall I say "works of art" will do just fine selling themselves. It was such and honor and privilege to shoot for Swangk! and I look forward to many years of continued success working with these fine people. If interested in learning more or purchasing these exclusive truffles, feel free to reach out to us directly and we will put you in contact with them. Believe me, it is certainly worth the hype and you will love the story of their success!
Chrome | Best Minnesota Food Photographer
Well this was certainly an amazing shoot! I was approached with the idea of the cover shot of this years Dining Guide for Grand View Lodge to be a rainbow trout dish. Of course I was excited because for one I am an obsessor of trout and salmon fishing as many of my friends can attest and certainly my wife ha and two....they are one of my fav dishes to prepare at home. What made this shoot so much more rich was the fact that I had a winter steelhead (rainbow trout) run planned only a few days prior and low and behold I was able to catch a dandy 8 lb. rainbow for the shoot. Also, we and my girls hand painted the backdrops leading up to the shoot for the cover shot which they were so thrilled about! We are very excited to grab a copy of the the Grand View Lodge Dining Guide!
Sensation | Minneapolis Product Photography Studio
This past week we once again fired off some shots of the new labels for Dashfire Bitters. We love these guys and their amazing product.....simply amazing! Thanks so much for once again placing your trust in Graddy Photography and we can't wait to see what the future holds for your successful business!
Paradise | Best Destination Resort Photographer
What an amazing trip. The shots below are from our recent stay at Thatch Caye Resort, a private island resort 10 miles off the coast from Dangriga, Belize. Three flights and a boat ride later we arrived. We spent the week relaxing, going snorkeling, conch hunting (which the cooks fried up for us), kayaking, fly fishing for permit, tarpon, and barracuda, and soaking up some sun. There were only maybe 20 guests at any given time and it was cool to meet so many interesting couples from all over North America. It was pretty cool meeting and chatting with some people in the fly fishing industry who were there to scout the resort and fishing waters that surround it. We have never seen such beautiful colored water and the Belizean people were all very kind and more than accommodating....we will for sure be back!
Darling | Prior Lake Family Photographer
This past week we welcomed Grace back to Graddy Photography studios for her nine month session. She is growing up to be quite the beauty with those eyes and lashes! As always, thanks so much for choosing Graddy Photography as your Lakeville family photographer and we look forward to the big one year session!
Prince | Maple Grove Family Photographer
