Kellen’s senior session was the perfect way to wrap up September. As the younger brother of a past senior client, photographing him felt especially meaningful and highlighted the joy of capturing milestone moments for families.

Senior season is in full swing, and Kai’s session was one of those evenings that reminded me why I love this job. With his energetic family cheering him on, his Class of 2026 senior session was fun, relaxed, and full of joy.

The fall colors were just beginning to pop during Charlie’s senior session, creating the perfect backdrop for his Class of 2026 photos. Soft light, early autumn tones, and a relaxed session made this one truly unforgettable.

Jordan’s senior session was full of creativity and personality as he incorporated his love of Star Wars into his Class of 2026 photos. Even with mosquitoes in full force, the session was fun, unique, and totally worth it.

Fall in Minnesota is basically Mother Nature showing off — crisp air, golden leaves, cozy sweater weather… and the perfect backdrop for senior pictures! Whether you’re Class of 2025 or 2026, the autumn season is such a dreamy time to capture your personality and celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime milestone.

There’s something extra special about capturing moments for families who are not only wonderful clients but also dear friends. That’s exactly how I felt during my recent fall mini session with the Moe family—Jason, Melissa, Grayson, Elijah, Rowan, and the ever-adorable Joah (affectionately known as “Joah Moah”). This sweet, fun-loving crew has been part of our church family for a couple of years, and getting to photograph them is always a treat.

  A Fall Family Session at Schaar’s Bluff with the Blackwell Family As a photographer, there are few things more rewarding than working with a new family and capturing the beauty of their unique dynamics. The Blackwell family was one of those wonderful sessions that I will remember for a long time. They were such […]

As summer draws to a close and the excitement of senior year begins, there’s no better way to celebrate the journey than through a memorable senior portrait session. For Ashlyn, a dedicated soccer player at Apple Valley High School and member of the Class of 2024, her recent shoot at Spring Lake Park Reserve in […]

These peeps are my favorite peeps. Enough said. HA! Laura is my bestie and fellow photographer. I could tell you the LONG story of our friendship, but I won’t. She is the Frodo to my Sam.  I love these guys like they are family. The girls call me Miss Neffers, a nickname that goes back to Laura and Kevin’s second oldest couldn’t say my name right, so she called me the closest she could get to my name, and it stuck. 

Ava was my second to last senior girl of my Class of 2024. I was a little sad that my season with this senior class was coming to an end, but happy that I got to spend it with this beautiful bubbly girl. It was windy and a little chilly the day we met for her session and that didn’t seem to bother her at all. Girl was so used to being outside in cooler temps as a cheerleader. The wind helped create some great Beyonce moments when we were down by the lake. Which sometimes is awesome, others it was a pain in the behind trying to not let her hair get into her face so much.
