High School Seniors Rock!

This HS Senior sure 'rocked' his HS Senior session.  Being able to incorporate his passion of playing guitar made perfect sense.  I'm pretty sure we got his album cover during this shoot!  Scouting out the perfect location made this session more of a hiking workout as we walked and climbed steep stairs multiple times....I am officially counting that as my exercise quota that week!!   The cool thing about this HS Senior is that I remember the day he was born - wow, now I feel old!  I remember the day my good friend called me at work to let me know she had her first baby!!  Now that baby is graduating High School!  I cannot believe it!!  He is an awesome young man and I'm so excited to see what his future holds for him!  Congratulations!

Natural Beauty!

Meeting this girl is another reason why I enjoy photographing High School Seniors!!  She has such a natural beauty about her not to mention her gorgeous brown eyes!  Born in Texas, it was essential to incorporate the fun cowboy boots (again, hoping they were my size....j/k.)  She was one of my HS Senior's to luck out with the passing of a train...can't always guarantee that one!  Here's a peek from that gorgeous evening!!

She's a little bit country.....

She's a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll classical ballerina!!  I was excited to work with this HS Senior and was even more excited when her wardrobe included cowboy boots which I was hoping were my size....j/k.  We went from a little country flare to the elegant ballet moves and positions capturing her personality.  It was a joy to work with this young HS Senior who was both endearing and gracious!!  Thank you for a fun evening!!

Class of 2013 - Look Out!

I am getting caught up on my blog this week and as I look back at this gorgeous HS Senior I can remember over a year ago talking to her mom about photographing her daughter for her Senior portraits.  Already knowing she was an athlete, we talked about incorporating her love of softball into her session.  With a beautiful summer evening and lots of laughs I had so much fun getting to know this HS Senior!!  Here are a few of my favorites from her session.

Just stunning....

Beautiful inside and out!

This High School Senior is just beautiful!  I love that she is just as beautiful on the inside as the outside.  Her kind heart sure came across after spending an evening together.  The idea of a session at her High School campus was both peaceful and perfect with amazing light that evening.  Between dribbling a soccer ball in heels, a flute concert in the field and ending the night solving a case of the missing shoe, she was a great sport!!!  I LOVE what we captured! 

Handsome High School Senior!

I really enjoy working with High School Seniors.  It is such a unique time in a persons life as they prepare for graduation and their future.  I must say that I have been so impressed with the High School seniors I have met so far, and this boy is equally as impressive!!  Easy going and handsome, he embraced the warm evening with the best attitude!!  How fun that he brought his awesome dog!  These are some of my favorites from your session:    

Stunning High School Senior!

I was so complimented when this stunning girl from Kansas came to see me for her HS Senior session!  She is an absolute sweetheart and we had such a great time during her session(s).  We actually broke her session into two so she could have different hair styles.  I love both of her looks!!  Little did we know that she would be serenaded with mexican music and we would find the hottest teenage summer hangout by the end of her photo shoot!  Thank you so much for trusting me to capture this special time in your life!

a little extra artwork on this one! 

Next Stop....Graduation!

It's been such a treat to have an early spring this year in Minnesota!  We found the perfect evening for this handsome High School Senior's session!  I so enjoy working with High School Seniors.  It's such a pivotal point in a young person's life.  This senior comes from a large family but wanted to get a few shots of him with his youngest sister, someone very special to him.  I love what we captured!!  Best of luck to you in your bright future!  Here's a quick peek from your session:

These are precious....she loves her big brother!

Another gorgeous fall day!

Another gorgeous fall day, another gorgeous HS Senior!  This stylish Senior brought along a little friend for a few of her Senior Photos....her sweet little puppy!  What a perfect morning with still so much color in Minneapolis near the Falls.  This gal was totally fun to photograph and we captured so many great images that it was hard to choose just a few for her sneak peek!  But here they are:

A Fall Session in Stillwater

There is something about the crisp fall air that is just refreshing!! I have to admit it's a nice change to put away the cropped pants and sandals for jeans and boots.  This adorable HS Senior agrees!  She planned to have her photo session when fall was fully under way and her favorite comfortable cardigan sweaters were appropriate attire.  I had a great time meeting her and her fun family during our walk around Stillwater finding all sorts of neat backdrops!  Here's a quick peek....

wow, just gorgeous! Is it me or does she have a little bit of a Demi Moore look?

An Uptown Session

I encourage HS Seniors to think about their interests and who they really are when they choose a location for their session.  Because I know this HS Senior and his love for the arts and theater I knew he chose the ideal location;  Uptown, Minneapolis.  We had a perfect day to be exploring the alleys and the theater district.  We even checked out the new Guthrie Theater.  I'm sure someday I'll be watching him on stage!  Here's a quick peek from our session.....

Handsome HS Senior Ahead!

I warned you....this HS Senior is not only handsome but a really nice guy.  I could tell even after hanging out with him for just a couple of hours that he is a very genuine person.  Sorry ladies, I cannot give out his phone number!  He couldn't have picked a more gorgeous fall day for his session!  Amazing color going on right now in Minnesota!  Here is just a sneak peek from your session!
