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 […]

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 […]

Many people ask if cloudy days are good for a senior session. The best thing about clouds are they diffuse the light so you can shoot literally almost anywhere. On sunny days, we need to look for shade or have to keep the light behind the senior, which can limit our background options. As a […]

You’ve got to love a good adventure. You can’t be afraid to get your feet wet, walk through some dense trees and maybe get just the tiniest bit dirty. Some of the best shots happen when you worked a little extra hard to get to a beautiful place. When I met Ella and her mom […]

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.

Talk about spunky! Redwood Valley HS Senior, Kennedy, was nothing short of absolute fun for her senior session! Her session started in downtown Redwood Falls with these super cute photos of her in her cap and gown with pictures from when she was little. How adorable! After exploring all the downtown vibes, Kennedy wanted to […]

Cole, a Redwood Valley Senior, seriously crushed his senior session with me. He said he was a little nervous, but you would never know. His session absolutely flew by. We explored all around Ramsey Park and downtown Redwood Fall before going to the gym, where he wanted to showcase how much he enjoys weight lifting. […]

Sweet Ellie, a Redwood Falls Senior, was my first 2022 senior session of the year last year and she was the perfect senior to start off the season. I loved working with her and her mom on all the ideas, locations and outfits for her senior session. They walked me through everything that they wanted, […]

Riley, a YME(Yellow Medicine East) Senior, probably got the best fall colors that I photographed last year. We timed her session and location perfectly for some really freaking amazing yellows and golds in Redwood Falls MN. Her session gave off all the colorful, moody vibes with the fog in the air that morning. I couldn’t […]
