This senior is slightly more special than the others I have shot this year, because this one is my cousin :) Charlie is one of the Schmid kids, and we have lots of memories as kids growing up and hanging out with all five of them. Charlie is a senior at Orono Highschool, and is a football and wrestling star {last year I got to watch him win his match to go to State!}, and he’s also pretty easy going in front of the camera. Thanks for letting me do your senior pictures!
Read MoreI think I post pictures from ski gull almost every year… but it’s such a beautiful spot! Photography has been crazy busy this fall, but I took a break from editing and enjoyed the evening last week. This is why I live in MN :)
Read MoreThe Lee family came from both the Twin Cities, and California to have a family vacation at Maddens Resort , and I was able to come out and meet and photograph their family. What a gorgeous and easy group to work with! And Ben was one of the cutest kids I’ve photographed! Thanks so much for choosing me to do your family pictures!
Read MoreI enjoyed Austin’s session a lot; he brought along lots of company incase he couldn’t smile on his own… but I think he did a pretty great job of putting up with me and my camera. Austin also had both his sister and dog jump in a few of the pictures which was fun! Thanks for choosing to use me for your senior images, Austin!
Read MoreIn August I was blessed to be a part of Matt and Betsy {Aka BAM}’s wedding celebration. It was so great to see how excited these two were to marry each other, and I appreciated their joy. Everyone was so relaxed and enjoying the day, and we had lots of fun taking pictures. These two love to frisbee golf together, so we even got to incorporate that into their images… notice the one that includes the “Wolf” disc! Matthew and Betsy, thank you so much for choosing me to be a part of your wedding! May God bless your marriage and relationship together. Enjoy your pictures!
Read MoreTyler is one of my brother’s buddies, and I got to go over to his place to take his senior pictures. Tyler was super easy going in front of the camera and I love the way his images turned out! Thanks for using me for your seniors!
Read MoreAmy, Corey and Sara are three awesome ladies that were roommates. Amy recently moved to the Cities when she got a new job, and just before we left we did a fun portrait session with the three of them to document their years of living together. Thanks for the great time, I love how well you girls get along! :)
Read MoreLexy is another Staples Motley senior, and her senior session consisted of both gardens, flowers, and her grandparents farm with her horse. She was a trooper walking all over the place after she had just gotten out of a boot for her fractured foot! :) Thanks for choosing me for your senior pictures, Lexy!
Read MoreI’m finishing up the craziness of this summer, and during this all I tend to forget what is most important in life thus getting overwhelmed and tired. God was reminding me of that this morning, and then in my devotional He drove the point home again. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added onto you.” {Matthew 6:33} “You will not find My Peace by engaging in excessive planning: attempting to control what will happen in the future… I did not design the human mind to figure out the future. That is beyond your capability. I crafted your mind for continual communication with Me. ” {Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young} “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.” {Psalm 37:7} {image taken last spring on our family trip to southern Missouri}
Read MoreDonna is part of the Staples Motley class of 2014! Last year I did her brother Robert’s senior session as well. I got to go out to her family’s dairy farm for the first part of the shoot, and then we went and found some fun old buildings later as well. Look at those gorgeous eyes, and awesome hair! Thanks for having me shoot your seniors, Donna! Enjoy your images!
