High School Senior Photographer Minneapolis and St Paul

High School Senior Photographer Minneapolis and St Paul – Paired down portraits that bring a modern, urban, natural feel with an elevated vibe.

Fierce and sweet, mature and immature, a good graduation portrait sessions covers a lot of ground.

Some smiling happy photos to put on relatives mantles, some laughter filled joyous images to show off your fun side, and some fiery, serious portraits to show how grown up you are now.

Its a big range of emotions to have in the span of a few hours, but that is part of the fun of high school senior photos. Even the most moody of portrait sessions should involve a lot of laughter, too.

WHY HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAITS?

I’s had the opportunity to talk with photographers from Canada and parts of Europe about high school senior photos and discovered that senior graduation photos are a pretty unique American tradition.

Perhaps, as a country, we like to think of things in more concrete terms – a before and an after, a start and an end. The transformation from child to adult is an arduous one, something that can take many years (or for some, a whole lifetime). There isn’t a clear start or an end.

And yes, high school is probably the closest we can come to putting a name on it, to tying the beginning of adulthood down and planting a flag that says “adult now”

HOW I APPROACH HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAIT SESSIONS

Your senior photos should be a reflection of the stuff you love – your favorite spaces, your beloved activities, clothes you feel awesome in. But they are also a recognition of you as a new adult, and so portrait sessions have to feel totally comfortable to get your real expressions, your total fierce face, your belly laughs – all those things that show off the authentic you.

We will start by figuring out locations that really speak to you, and then we will spend some time photographing in those spaces. Your parents or a friend are welcome to come along, too!
