During senior sessions, I like to make the most out of our time by choosing one location and then roaming around that place. Marshall Minnesota is an amazing town for location variety. One of the main spots I love shooting for “nature” is the SMSU Nature Park right by the football field. For Chidi’s session, […]

Many seniors struggle with what to bring to their session as far as props & extras. I believe that there is a fine line between enough and too much. Start with the priorities. Are you in sports/activites? If so, make sure you have your uniforms, medals and all of your equipment. In this sense, I’d […]

I know, I know… sunrise is so early. However just check out Ella’s sunrise senior session. That gorgeous light on her face with all of the gorgeous flowers at Greenwood Nursery is absolute perfection. Sunsets are equally as amazing, but those session times go quick. If you want to take advantage of that glowy, summer […]

Would it stun you if I said that most of Ashley’s senior session all happened within about one location? Seniors typically like a lot of variety with their sessions. The session is two hours and we want to use our time wisely. I like to have locations planned that give us not only a change […]

Tracy Area senior, Amber, was definitely not afraid of color for her senior session. I met her and her mom at McCrory Gardens in Brookings SD. This location is full of vibrant greens, neutrals and all the gorgeous flowers. Sometimes in order to match backdrops seniors will shy away from bringing lots of bold, vibrant […]

Brayden, a Dawson Boyd Senior, rocked his senior session with me last fall. We explored all around Dawson and then ventured out to the local county park. He wanted to keep his session simple not really wanting too much, but was a super good sport for his mom. I had to laugh about half way […]

Ellen, Minneota High School Senior, was such an amazing person to photograph! Her fun ideas and great personality led to an easy going, enjoyable session resulting in so many beautiful photos of her!! We explored a small park by Marshall and then walked around Downtown to see what that had to offer to match her […]

Emily, a Miller High School Senior, came all the way to Marshall to see me for her senior session! How awesome is that?! We started off her session around the SMSU nature park and got this beautiful morning light, which highlighted how freaking stunning Emily is. This girl is such a beauty inside and out. […]

Minnewaska HS Senior, Colin, had the most epic colors and light for his senior session around Dawson MN. His grandparents are from that area so he thought it would be the perfect place to do his senior pictures. What a neat idea? He will have something so different than his classmate, which I absolutely love! […]

Chloe, a Minneota Senior, was the lucky winner of my senior session giveaway last year. I cannot tell you how much I was actually the lucky one in that situation! She is seriously amazing and such a photogenic girl. To say she brought all the model vibes to her session would be an understatement because […]
