This year has been an exciting year for senior photo sessions. I have tripled the number of spots that I use and I have been doing custom requests for locations. These young men and women have been looking great and feeling confident in front of the lens. Beautiful work, Tessa! Thank you for scheduling her, Brooke!

Sometimes when I am out and about working with families or seniors, I get the opportunity to meet new people. Sometimes those people let me take their photo. After meeting these beautiful ladies and taking a couple photos they invited me to stay for a little bit and have dinner. Spicy and delicious! ... See MoreSee Less

Colors are very flat.

You give me nothing! What was the sale price? 🤑

Getting to do an extended family photo session and getting to meet the entire family is quite an honor. Getting to do it at the family farm on an evening with perfect weather makes it even more enjoyable. Thank you so much Nikki for the invite to capture your entire family. Let's do this every year!

When I do extended family sessions I like to start with the entire group and get those important photos "out of the way". Then I take photos of each family with the parents and their children. I rotate Grandparents in and out in a very thorough and methodical manner. I usually end the session by getting individual portraits of each child or young adult. ... See MoreSee Less

Incredible night watching Zach Bryan's concert at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center last night! Tickets sold out only minutes after going on sale so you knew the energy was going to be high and the performance was going to be amazing.

For Jade's senior session we used a city park with tennis courts, two downtown locations, and a beautiful nature park. I always include multiple locations and multiple outfit changes. I also include family photos for everyone that attends the session with the senior. Thank you so much, Jade - You did an amazing job and I really appreciate the opportunity to be your photographer.
