I met up with Payton and his mama at Ritter Farm park early Saturday for a warm yet beautiful morning at one of my favorite parks in the area.

I think this is my second favorite session of the senior Class of 2023. I’m so excited to share it with you! I’ve done only a handful of senior pictures in Downtown Farmington and I keep finding new little places to find spots to photograph in that I haven’t done them in before

I love how much variety Dakota City Village has to offer when it comes to doing senior pictures. There are a bunch of old timey buildings set in the village to replicate what Farmington might have looked like in it’s hey day, big open field spaces and trees! Huge bonus, it’s super quiet here.

I have lived in Twin Cities for almost 12 years and have been photographing for about 5 years now, and I have not once photographed a family or senior in the cute little town of Northfield. Northfield reminds me of my hometown a bit with it’s old buildings and old fashioned charm. And let me tell you, the downtown area is beyond cute!

I love seeing how much these little dudes have grown over the last 4ish years since I’ve started taking their pictures. I also appreciate Allesha and her family to be super flexible with trying new places for their family sessions with me!

Margarita and her adorable little family are new clients to me. She reached out to have some family pictures done and to celebrate their little one turning one!

I had the privilege of hanging out with a couple of my 2022 seniors for a cap and gown mini session or college swag mini session. It was fun to hang out them once more before they head off to college in the fall and chat about the next chapter in their lives.

It all started because two people fell in love. Sounds super cheesy and cliche, but hey, it’s true, and I like it.

I always enjoy the ideas Autumn’s mama comes up with for her yearly pictures, last year it was all her stuffed animals, the year before that it was rocks, this year was no different. Vintage Coca-Cola.

If you’re an upcoming senior and are looking for places to take your senior pictures in the Twin Cities area, I’ve got some inspiration for you{…}
