Jake and I had a crazy weekend a few weeks ago. We went up to Minneapolis and crammed in 5 shoots over two days and one night. We left after work on Friday night and got to the cities around 11:30 p.m. and started to shoot just a little after that. Shooting in the dark is no easy task, but we made it happen.

Tryenyse (pronounced tra neice) is an artist in Minneapolis who describes her music as Soul, Blues, and R&B all mixed up. Her and her husband have been a friend of my family for quite some time and it was great to be able to get some awesome shots for the album that she is putting out this summer. Here are a few of the photographs that we took that night running around Minneapolis.

Business branding is not something new and should never be overlooked.  Once you have a good product or service, you then need to figure out how people are going to remember it, hear about it, and spread the word about it.  Comet Branding is in the business of making that happen.  From creating social media networks to promoting your brand through PR and other media outlets, they do it all. Al Krueger and Sara Meaney are not only fantastic, energetic people, but they are also great at what they do and take pride in their work.

Jake and I got a chance to shoot some branding photos for this branding bunch which was a real honor and ridiculously fun.  Here are a few shots from the shoot that you will be seeing on their website and promo material soon.

We started in their office space where all the Comet magic happens.

From there took some shots around the building.

then From there we carried the Comet Chair (Vintagely awesome chair Al does his best thinking (napping) in) outside in the middle of the street in the middle of the day. (Bad idea to shoot photos at High Noon, but we rocked it none the less).

Leave some love for the Comet Cats.
(Oh yeah… Al’s hair is pretty much a work of art. Simply amazing. Discuss.)
