I do love showcasing indoor sports outdoors or in unexpected habitats. It adds an element of “cool” to the photos to do something different with a sport typically played indoors or on a beach. I love to see how ideas look in a place unexpected, like a dancer in a back alleyway or a volleyball […]

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 […]

Murray County Central Senior, Camdyn, was literally one of the most fun sunrise sessions! It was an overcast morning, which gave us some of the most amazing light as the morning went on! The light cloud coverage gave off the most glowy light. Camdyn’s outgoing personality made for an extra easygoing, relaxed photoshoot! Time just […]

I freaking loved working with Aidyn, Canby MN senior! She chose to do her first session in the Madison MN area to have some different backgrounds than her classmates. Here where we explored grasslands, the golf course, downtown and more while capturing her beautiful, happy spirit! This session gave us all the feels too as […]

Her style was on point, hair and makeup was on point. It was seriously so perfect! This was the first senior that I ever photographed at McGrory Gardens […]

Meet Kylie! Such a smart, funny, sweet girl! I may also be biased because this beautiful senior is my niece. We had so much fun exploring Dawson MN for her senior session. Her style was on point and her location ideas were amazing as well! So happy I was able to spend this time with […]

There is just something about these two. It’s as simple as that. Jacob & Kelsey are just so special. Their wedding day was filled with an incredible and indescribable love, not just for each other and their families, but for God. Both of these two live a life made to honor Him and it was […]

The best piece of advice I can give to all of my seniors would be to relax. We’ve prepped for the session and prepared as best we could. Now it’s session time, we’ve met at our designated location and are ready to get started. Take a deep breath and know that all I want is […]

One of the biggest struggles I feel with planning your senior session is determining what you want from your locations. Do you like to be surrounded by trees, tall grass and flowers? Do you want to be surrounded by architecture, industrial settings and modern buildings? Sometimes you might have a specific location in mind, which […]

I don’t like there to be any surprises when it comes to the process so this is what to expect after your senior session. Once we’ve wrapped up shooting, your senior gallery will be delivered via email in about 6-8 weeks. That link will show you the best, edited photos taken from the session. From […]

What you don’t see are the moments in between. I think the best thing that happens during a senior session doesn’t have anything to do with the actual pictures. Don’t get me wrong, the priority is amazing photos. But to me, it’s the experience that each person on the other side of my camera has […]

A lot goes into planning your senior session, but here are a few things to keep in mind to be prepared for your senior session! Planning on getting a tan? Your natural skin color is the very best tone for your eyes and hair color, but I completely understand wanting to be a little bit […]

Let’s talk about what to expect before the your senior session. I think communication is key to pretty much everything. After you’ve booked your senior session, I will be sending over a questionnaire. It’s nothing crazy long or complicated. This helps me get a sense of who you are, what you are expecting and where […]
One of the biggest reasons that I love photographing seniors is showing them their unique, beautiful selfs. Throughout the process of shooting, we goof around, visit and I get to know them. Their dreams. What their favorite foods are. That sense of humor. As this is happening, I can just see their walls come down. […]
Something that I pride myself in as a photographer in this day and age is being able to balance classic, beautiful portraits with current trends and styles. I want nothing more than you to have the perfect, smiling portrait of your son hanging on the wall. I also want him to post fun and creative […]
I do love a good indoor sports session for seniors. It’s a great way to be creative with lighting and really showcase a sport or hobby. As you look through Dravyn’s indoor sports photos, you’ll see we were able to really highlight some movement and create a kind of “moodiness” that I enjoy on sports […]
Being a photographer in the midwest, you kind of expect to do sessions out on the farm. I grew up on an acreage myself so I do absolutely love finding beautiful in the ordinary. Paint chipped buildings, groves of trees, machinery are all some of the few things you can find and create beautiful images […]
