A few selects from Malia’s beautiful senior photo session on Lake Minnetonka in Excelsior!

Excelsior beach is just one of those places I’ll never tire of - Malia grew up just minutes away from this beautiful spot, so it was so so special to photograph her here for one of her senior shoot locations - a place that is both beautiful and holds a piece of her story 🐚

✨✨Which month is the best to have senior photos taken?✨✨

This is one of the questions I get asked the most! The Twin Cities begins looking GORGEOUS the second week of May - pink flowers, white flowers….all of the flowers adorn the trees. There are also little blue flowers to be found blooming in fields and golden hour is just too good paired with these things! If I had it my way, I would shoot a million sessions during this three week span of time 🙃

While the blooming trees might be my favorite time of year to shoot - Emma and I stay busy capturing senior photos May through the second week of October. Each month has a lot to offer, but often the weather is a bit less humid and sweaty for late spring/early summer (May through mid June) and late summer/early Fall (September through second week of October).

What month are you hoping to have your senior photos taken? Shoot me a message if you want to grab a date for when the spring flowers are blooming!

The beautiful Dylan. Her shoot was my 34th class of 2022 senior session that I captured this past summer, yet I still felt the excitement and creativity capturing her photos as if it was the very first shoot of the year. Discovering each of my seniors unique personalities and finding ways to joyfully capture their essence is a magical experience. Wishing you the best senior year Dylan!

Ella was absolutely glowing for her senior photos! She wanted a classic look for her photos...and I love how this little spot in St. Paul makes it look like we are lost somewhere beautiful in Europe! Meeting with our seniors before their shoot to hear the vision that they have gives us time to search for the perfect little spots to fit the look that they had in mind!

Let's talk about something super important....weather!! What happens when you wake up the day of your daughters senior session...the one that she's been planning for and dreaming of for months.....and its overcast and rainy? Playing with the light and taking advantage of a beautiful golden hour light is important to me, so I keep rain back up dates on my calendar every week and offer complimentary rainy day reschedules! No matter what the weather looks like the day of your daughters scheduled shoot, if she was dreaming of that golden hour glow in her senior photos...that is what she will get!

Barefoot, free spirited, twirling in the golden hour sun...this is what we had envisioned for Haley's senior session - an ode to the many summers she spent growing up in Prior Lake and running around outdoors exploring with her friends

Oh where do I begin with Haley’s senior shoot! During Haley’s senior meeting, she talked about how she spend her summer days hanging out with friends on Prior Lake. She wanted a shoot that represents her love for outdoors - running barefoot in the sand, twirling around, a shoot that feels like a...

Quite possibly the most iconic spot in Minneapolis and it get's even better as the sun is setting :)

A full blog post featuring one of the sunniest, playful, balletic senior shoots ever!

If you know Lexi, you know that she is a ballerina, outgoing, bubbly, a Taylor Swift lover, and oozing with happiness. During our planning meeting, Lexi showed me her outfit ideas, and we got to work finding the perfect backdrops for each one. Shooting her senior session in St. Anthony Main Minnea

Kyra blew her senior session out of the water! Just look at her smile! What more could a photographer ask for?! Kyra's shoot was captured by my associate photographer Emma - and my jaw was dropping with all of the gorgeous moments captured as I was editing her session!

When Reagan and Rylee (identical twins!) asked if they could do a portion of their senior session together, I was overjoyed! I just loved capturing their unique connection as twin sisters in all of the beautiful golden hour light.
