Melanie Daoheuang

Melanie Daoheuang contacted me after I started posting images on Facebook of Tali Neidenfeuhr from another photo shoot. Melanie and Tali were both in the Emerald Spring Fashion Show Runway event in 2013 that I photographed. Melanie and I set up a date, 01-19-14, for our photo shoot.  It was also Melanie's birthday. :) There are more images of Melanie on my website. There's a link to the her gallery after these images posted here.

Stephanie and Alex

I've been photographing different events, people and acts at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival for the last three years. There are several galleries posted from the festival on my website...HERE . I still have three or more days from this year (galleries) that I hope to finish post processing so I can post them. During that time I've photographed Stephanie and Alex who are members of The Vodca Family many times during their performance as members or during the "Drum Jam".

Stephanie is the director of the group and she travels the Renaissance circuit to Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Minnesota. Alex is going to college and performs at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival with the group.

Stephanie and I had done one other photo shoot in November 2012 in the studio...PHOTOS

While in Texas Stephanie contacted me and she wanted to do another shoot when she came back to Minnesota for a few days. We set up a date for 01-04-14 ...a couple weeks before the shoot she asked if she could bring Alex along so they could get a few shots together.

I've posted a few images here to the blog..there's a link below to more images on my website.

ESPN Friday Night Fights at the Target Center / Minneapolis, MN / 01-03-14

On Friday, 01-03-14, I photographed ESPN Friday Night Fights at the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN. Iron Mike Productions, Seconds Out Promotions and Warrior Boxing put on the event. 

I've photographed other Boxing, Kickboxing and MMA events for other promotors, but not for these three. 

I want to say, Thank You, to Andre Courtemanche, with Big Media Buzz for getting me a seat at ring side to photograph this event. Although, there was one fight, Caleb Truax vs Ossie Duran, that I had to give up my seat to the photographer for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. There wasn't anymore openings around the ring so I had to photograph about 6 feet back from the ring. The shots for that fight have at least one rope in between the camera and the fights. When that fight was over then I was back photographing from ring side.
