Tony -- 2011 Senior - Preview!

I had the great pleasure of photographing a 2011 senior that I have seen grow up so fast right before my eyes. I can't say that I know Tony's favorite color or his favorite movie, but what I do know is that he has been playing drums since the day he could hold a spoon to his mouth. I remember when he loved hot wheel cars,boy scouts and baseball ... and of course drumming, drumming, drumming! Tony is captain of the Irondale Drumline and is among the stars in academics. We had a great time during his senior photo session because Tony is a natural. Just one more thing he can fallback on, if a music career doesn't work out. {smiley} Have a great senior year, Tony! I can't wait to hear about your college selection.

Senior Fellas - Preview! {2011 Senior Photography}

I had a fun, fun session with 3 senior guys from Shakopee High School. Ben, Jason, and Matt are all good friends and they all came together to get their senior photos knocked out. They are superstar jocks in football, basketball and track. Matt adds guitar to the mix too. The guys were really easy to work with and hilarious at times. I had a tough time getting them to be "serious". They couldn't stop smiling. That makes my job pretty easy so I didn't mind. Great session guys! Thanks for being "good sports" :-)

Emma C. { 2011 Senior Photography}

I love, love shooting seniors! They are so fun! Ms. Emma did not disappoint. It was such a nice day and her carefree spirit made it easy to photograph her. I'm not sure she would admit it, but I hear she's a "superwiz" in Math and Science. When she graduates next spring, she plans on focusing her studies in Engineering! Good luck Emma in your senior year! I hope you have a FABulous year!

PUG Meeting -- Bridal Model Shoot

Last week I attended the Minneapolis Pictage User Group meeting. This networking group has given me the opportunity to connect, learn and share ideas with some wonderful local photographers. This month's meeting was a shoot with models wearing bridal wear. I loved shooting these two ladies, they were so easy going and of course very natural in front of the camera.

Shooting with the photographers in the group was fun and motivating! It was great to try a few new things and see the results. I hope to do a shoot like this again in the near future! Here's a peek at just a few of my images! Enjoy!
