Maddie ’18 {Rochester MN Senior Portrait Photographer}

 

Maddie and her Mom found us through Google and a mutual friend and really loved how I like to make all my senior sessions super unique and fun and bring out who my seniors are. Which is awesome as I believe  your senior portrait session should make you feel beautiful inside and out.  It’s a monumental time in a senior’s life and I want to capture you as the person you are at this moment. 

Maddie really wanted something flowery and naturey, but also with an urban feel so I took her to Lanesboro to use their unique buildings and flowery fields.  It was so humid the night of her session but she newver once complained, but she had also just gotten back from vacation in Florida, so she was likely used to the humidity.  Even with the humidity, we had so much fun with Maddie and her Mom, we even had a little friend join us during her session.  The cat didn’t want to leave and even jumped on her lap.  We couldn’t stop laughing.  A photo with the cat even made her graduation invitation.

Terron ’18 {SE MN Senior Portrait Photographer}

Senior pictures are likely the last time children will have professional portraits made of themselves until their wedding. That’s right – until their wedding. Though this alone seems a perfectly good reason for their parents to have them done, this reasoning is likely not a good reason to the senior boy to get their portraits done. Getting a senior boy to have his picture taken by a professional photographer and be happy about it can be just about impossible. But who doesn’t love a challenge?
 
I have known and taken Terron’s family portraits since he was about 8, I think. Terron is a really great kid but never been enthusiastic about having his pictures taken. Honestly, I don’t blame him. After all, how much fun can it be to hang out with 2 ladies, one with her camera in your face and the other with a flash in your face for an hour or so? With that said I have yet to come across a senior boy who really, really wanted a session. But, I also have yet to have a senior boy come away from one of our sessions that hasn’t said that wasn’t really that bad. Although, they may all just be being polite. 😉
 
Anyway, thanks for sticking with us Terron! We enjoyed your shoot and wish nothing but the best in the future. Congratulations!
 
P.S. I also included some photos of his Mom getting some photos we delivered to her this week from the spring baseball session we did with Terron. Love her priceless reaction, she was so excited for her canvas and custom 3-foot cardboard cutout (it still needs to be popped out from where it was cut so there won’t be any white around it).

Jordan ’18 {SE MN Senior Portrait Photographer}

It has been an amazing year and I am so thankful for all of my fabulous clients! I had so much fun creating the perfect session for some 2018 seniors. I will still be sharing more of each one individually that I didn’t get a chance to share yet since most of them graduate over the next week or so.

Next up is Jordan. We did 3 sessions with Jordan for his Exclusive Session. We did photos in the studio, out at his Aunt and Uncle’s beautiful property, at an outdoor basketball court and then lastly at his high school for some sports photos. I hope you have a fantastic summer, and that you go on to do amazing things in college! The world has so much in store for you, and I can say from knowing you, you have lots in store for the world!

Alyx ’18 {Spring Valley MN Senior Portrait Photographer}

Time to celebrate! Graduation season is upon us here in Southeast MN, so I wanted to highlight some of our 2018 senior portrait sessions this week.
 
First up is the beautiful inside and out, Alyx, we had so much fun at 2 sessions with her. One in the summer to capture some portraits to capture her with a nice tan from the summer, in the water and with summer flowers and then in the fall to capture some sports portraits and some fall colors. When you book an Exclusive or Deluxe Session, we can also split the session to be able to capture different seasons or different hairstyles. Such a great option for senior portraits.
 
Congratulations, Alyx! We wish you lots of luck in your bright future!
