National Farmer’s Day {MN Farm Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Adults

Today is National Farmer’s Day and it is a day that offers much-deserved praise to the hard-working farmers across the nation. In the midst of harvest season, the day pays tribute to the men, women, and families who put food in the grocery stores and on our tables every day. Farm and ranch families comprise less than 2% of the U.S. population, but each farm feeds 166 people annually in the U.S. and abroad.

Being that it is National Farmer’s Day, I thought I would share some photos I took of my Dad planting this spring. And of course had to add some that I took of Maverick while taking photos of my Dad working since he was there, too. I also grabbed a photo I took of the corn at sunset back in mid-September to show off my Dad and Mother Nature’s hard work.

MN Senior Portraits {MN Senior Portrait Photographer}

Posted in Seniors

MN senior portraits…. I love working with seniors. And getting to work with families multiple times when each of their children become high school seniors for their MN senior portraits is such an honor. But getting to take portraits with a senior and their animals is one of my favorite things and I have been lucky enough to be able to do that twice with this family!   

We started Aubrey’s senior portrait session at the studio in Spring Valley, MN, and then headed to the beautiful outdoor location,  Forestville State Park, to capture some MN senior portraits with the old town buildings, fall colors, and with her horse.  While down there we saw a couple of groups of riders and while taking photos, Aubrey noticed a horse she had trained this summer at her job. So she got to catch up with the owner and see how the horse was doing. How cool is that?! 

Aubrey is just stunning and I loved seeing how much she loves her animals!! If you have pets that you want to include in your senior portrait photos, I 100% urge you to include them. Your senior portraits should include your passions/hobbies/items/animals that are important to YOU.

Enjoy some of my favorites from Aubrey’s senior portrait session.

It’s senior portrait season for the Class of 2023!

AJ is a high school senior from Stewartville High School. It was great to meet AJ back in August for his senior portraits! We had a great time photographing AJ and it was fun to catch up with his Mom as well since we graduated together from Stewartville as well. We had an awesome time wandering around Masonic, a family friend’s house that is one of my FAVORITE locations, and the Stewartville High School baseball field, chatting and taking photos.

Here are some of my favorites from his session!

  • Senior guy portrait sitting by a wood pile
  • Senior guy portrait standing leaning on baseball dugout fence
