Maple Grove Polar Bear Plunge | Event Photography | Sarah Elizabeth Photography

Earlier this month, I spent a chilly winter afternoon photographing the Maple Grove Polar Bear Plunge. More than 780 people jumped into the freezing water at this event and raised $158,000 to support Special Olympics Minnesota!  There are several more events yet this winter if you are inspired to take the plunge yourself!  http://www.plungemn.org/

Polar Bear Plunge 2011 | Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis, MN

Earlier this month, I photographed the Polar Bear Plunge at Lake Calhoun. This is Special Olympics' annual fundraiser and is always tons of fun to be a part of. As a photographer, I got a front row seat to the action and was entertained for hours by the crazy costumes, choice words and hilarious expressions as plungers jumped into the freezing water. Here are a few of my favorite shots:  (click photo to view album)
