Melissa Oholendt | Minnesota Wedding & Lifestyle Photography

I think I found my calling this week in nautical themed fashion. Seriously. Anchors ahoy. I photographed Parc Boutique‘s E-Commerce Launch Party and somehow managed to avoid stuffing my face with mini-cupcakes. Don’t think I didn’t think about it. The mosquitoes came out en force this week and my legs show the battle wounds. J.Crew bribed me to come visit them; I’m showing restraint and waiting 7 days before I call. I took myself on a much needed me-date and got a pedicure and had a sushi happy hour. And it was BLISS. I attended a BBQ with some of the very people I started my photography career with and some new friends too. Gunnar went to daycare. Minnesota skies delivered the ultimate cotton candy sunset last night and it reminded me of the Utah sunsets I used to take for granted. Note to self, do not take a pink, purple and blue sky for granted. EVER AGAIN. I shot a STUNNING wedding at the American Swedish Institute with two fabulous photographers to back me up. I had the busiest 7 days of the season so far and while my house may be a disaster and my hard drives are nearing full, I could not be happier. Besides. I can sleep when I die, right?
