In early October, I organized a group of local Instagrammers (all of whom are dear friends who also happen to be extremely talented photographers) to get together and take some photos for a classic Minnesota company: Minnetonka Moccasins. It was a beautiful fall day with near-perfect shooting conditions, and the resulting images are as eclectic and awesome as the group itself. The collection can be found on Instagram at #MinnetonkaMeet_Fall2014.

I also wrote a guest post on Minnetonka Moccasins' blog about how to take the perfect Instagram shot featuring their shoes - taking into account lighting, perspective, filters, and even hashtags.
