Well that’s a wrap!

As I reflect on this year of senior photos I think how cool to get to document this stage for 41 seniors, from 10 different schools in 22 different locations.

The locations are cool, the weather was actually pretty good but these seniors really made the year fun and enjoyable.

I truly enjoy getting to hear their story, learning about the dreams they have for next year, and normalizing it’s ok to not know what to do next year.

Enjoy the next chapter, but before the next chapter enjoy this chapter!

Tiago - St Peter Class of 2027

We were able to do a little catching up, lots of hockey talk, conversations about what the next year holds, and even managed to find some fall colors along the way.

Always love getting to document this stage of life and hear about all the things these seniors have going on. Hard to believe we’re already talking about the Class of 2027!

Luke - St Peter Class of 2027

There’s something extra special about getting to photograph the next generation of a family you’ve known for years. I’ve known this kiddo’s mom since before she was even his age, so getting to document this chapter feels a little surreal!

I’m always a little nervous when we schedule late October senior sessions in Minnesota but so far, the weather has been WORKING with us, and I’m not about to complain!

A little fall, a little sunshine, and another senior year being documented.

Wyatt - WEM class of 2027

A little fresh air, a few raindrops, and a mission to find those last bits of fall color! We explored, laughed, and talked all about farm friends along the way. The kind of evening that reminds you senior photos are about so much more than just pictures.

Sajen - Cleveland Class of 2027

Some sessions are just worth the wait! After rescheduling twice, we finally landed on the most beautiful evening for this senior session. The kind of night where the light is perfect, the conversations cover everything under the sun, and the laughter comes easy. Just being our true, authentic selves and enjoying every minute of it.

Sometimes things work out exactly how they’re supposed to, and this evening was proof of that!

Brayden - TCU Class of 2027

Another great evening with great weather and a fall favorite location that has SO much to offer! The kind of place you can keep exploring and find something new around every corner. Definitely one of my favorite spots this time of year!

Family photos hit different for the photographer when you have documented all three kids senior photos.

Fun fall colors, great company, and two pups that helped make sure everyone stayed on their toes.

Ben - LSH Class of 2027

Another perfect fall evening. Exploring a new park, catching up, chatting about life, and documenting this season of senior year! Sometimes the best sessions are just about going with the flow and enjoying the evening along the way.

10/18/2026

Sometimes family photos are a soon to be two year old running the show.

I promise you parents this will pass and next year it will be a different battle. Until then we follow the lead of the 2 year old and make the best of it ❤️

Allison - Belle Plaine Class of 2027

Tonight’s session was a cup filler that’s for sure! The weather was perfect, the company was great, and we had some pretty fun times chatting and exploring.

Enjoy your senior year!
