The last year of anything, whether it is high school or college, is such an amazing time! It's time to celebrate all of the hard work, the accomplishments, and to commemorate new beginnings and adventures! Your graduation photos are a wonderful part of this time and you can make your photos an awesome celebration that is most true to you! With your senior session, you can explore new climbs and killer views, on campus, or even grab photos in front of your favorite hang out place! However you envision your session unfolding, I'll make sure I capture your true self.
Why I love working with seniors
Welcome
My Photography Coverage Locations
Twin Cities Metro Area (Minneapolis, St. Paul)
Rochester, MN
La Crosse, WI area
Outside of those areas? I may be traveling through your area! Just ask!
After you submit a contact form, I'll set up a free consultation to get to know you, talk over your visions, and make sure we're a great match to shoot your senior portraits! We'll talk over what you'd like to have in the background of your photos, optimal locations to make that happen, and other details for the session!
step one:
the consultation
You've decided you want to work with me - Whoohoo!! You'll choose which type of session is best for you, sign a contract, and pay your retainer fee to officially book with me and schedule your session! I love to shoot during the golden hour, which is the 2 hours prior to the sun setting, to get beautiful dreamy light! Quick tip: My weekends fill up fast! If only weekends work for you, I recommend you schedule a couple months ahead of the date or time of year you are looking for.
step TWO:
Scheduling your session
Oh, but what do I wear? Don't worry! I've got you covered! You'll receive a guide from me for what to wear, what to bring with, and much more! I'll help you along with every stage in planning for your session.
step THREE:
Preparing for your session
For your session, the most important thing to bring with you is your amazing smile and make sure you're ready to have some fun! I love to do active posing so you feel natural and love the way you look! I direct you through the whole process, tell you where to put your feet, hands, and head so you don't have to worry about a thing!
step FOUR:
your session
After your session, I'll put together a blog post of my favorite images to commemorate this amazing time in your life! Then within two weeks of your session, you'll receive all of your fully edited images in your online gallery with unlimited downloads and the ability to purchase prints.

GET IN TOUCH
First, think about what type of season you love, whether it's spring with early flower and tree blooms, summer with greenery and flower blooms, fall with trees turning color, or in the wintry snow. Next, think about whether you need a photo for your yearbook and when that is due. Be sure to schedule your session at least 3 weeks prior to that deadline. Most do their senior sessions in the spring or summer leading up to their senior year.
