Ms D's senior pictures in Minneapolis

Had a wonderful time with this young lady in Minneapolis this summer.

A few from the last senior session

Hard to believe summer is over, it's been another crazy one.  Seems like just yesterday my kids were talking about all the stuff we'd do on summer vacation.
Well, with school underway it seems fitting to post a few images from our latest senior session.

Morgan's Senior Session - Northfield to Minneapolis

Meet Morgan, a 2012 Senior! She was looking for a mix of urban and rural shots (2 of my favorites :) She also wanted 2 different hair styles, but to accomplish that we had to split her session in two parts... a straight hair day, and a curly hair day. For the straight hair day we chose Northfield for the mix of "urban" and then into the rural area's for the fields and abandoned buildings. The curly hair day was all urban, and it was a toss up between St Paul and Minneapolis (duh), but Minneapolis won out with the option of the Stone Arch Bridge (and as it turns out, I'm REALLY glad it did).

I just want to stress - I DON'T have set locations that I use with everyone! It totally goes by what the client (YOU) wants. Of course, if you don't know exactly what you want, but have an idea of what you're after... we just bounce ideas around until something sounds good. I love a challenge, so if you have some bizarre concept you want to do... let me know!


Location: a random back alley loading dock

Location - the parking lot of a Bail Bonds shop.





Location - A random farm field in the middle of no where.

Sammi - Senior Portrait Photographer

Sammi drove in about 1.5 hours to get her senior portraits taken. Fortunately the weather worked out perfectly for her (after having to reschedule once already). She wanted a country feel, with a fence a field. So I did a little location scouting to make it happen, here are a few of the results....







I have a few behind the scenes shots I'll have to share one day...




Turns out this wild field had a lot of thistles, fortunately I brought my hip waders along (not for this reason, to use for the dock shots), they came in handy here for her though.












We also did a few studio shots to.

Mini Senior Session

Meet Bailey, I've known her and her family for 8 years now, and I can't believe she is about to graduate high school! She stopped by for a few in-studio senior shots. Here is a small sample.
