Braeden is one of those handsome young men that while he’s set his sights beyond graduation next spring he’s just not that into the whole “Senior Portrait” thing. Well, problem solved. This year I expanded my collections of traditional Portrait Sessions to include an “Express”. The Express is just that, an abbreviated session that allows me to capture really great images in 30 minutes. Now, this does come with a few options but several changes of clothing and locations are not part of the program as that simply eats into the allotted 30 minutes pretty rapidly. So, come prepared to work diligently and what you will get in return is 8 lightly edited 4×6 proofs and 1, digital file of your choice. Your, unedited, session will be online within a day for you to select from and will only set you back $150.00. You, of course, are welcome to order additional prints and wallets through the site or directly through me.  Isn’t it nice to know that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get what you want?  If the Express is something you haven’t yet considered, contact me to discuss and schedule your Express now.

This offer is limited to High School Seniors.

Going out on my first “Rock The Senior” shoot today.
Something I thought up to enhance the tradtional
senior session. Kind of like a “Trash The Dress” but
I didn’t dare refer to it as “Trash The Senior”!

Here, I will approach the shoot like I always do then
stop, switch it up with radical hair and make-up
(being a hairdresser for 28 years helps), and go into
more dramatic imagery. The guys are welcome too.
A teeny bit of eyeliner and some whacked out hair
or a hop in the lake will transcend your traditional
session into more of a fashion editorial look.
I canNOT wait to get started! Spots are limited
throughout the summer but be sure to visit my
Rock The Senior group page on Facebook and check here
periodically for gallery additions.

Think you can handle it? Refer 3 friends and earn a
FREE Rock The Senior session!

Let’s ROCK!

Hanna

We did a lot yesterday. I shot these two separate and then
together as they are certain to have a combined grad party
next summer and THAT will be some bash, indeed!

I’m not getting the opportunity to play with any of the
images today as I need to finish preparing for the pool
portion of my SCUBA certification today. I’ll be in the
pool for about 4 or 5 hours today. I keep forgetting to
mention that I have a love for SCUBA diving. I’ve had
the chance to dive like 4 times but not be certified.
This winter when we hit Mexico, I’ll do some diving!

Okay, it’s 12:40 now and I hadn’t put this post up so
I played with just a couple of Hanna & Megan’s images.
Here they are….

Now I gotta run! SCUBA Sue is on her way!

I’m gonna work on a slide show and put up
a podcast for her, I think. Sound good Melissa?

I got to see Betty & Alice yesterday. I love them.
It does my heart good to see my friend’s cats!

Send me a cool photo of your cat and I’ll put them
up on my blog…send a little bio along with it
like, full name, aks’s, favorite toys, snacks,
places to sleep…stuff like that!

Flying Cloud Air Show is going on right now
through Sunday. They come in right over our
house…pretty cool. I”ll try to grab a couple
of pix over the next couple of days.

Have an incredible weekend!
Off to a party with some crazy former neighbors.

Oh, and tomorrow is the Chanhassen location
of the MiracleKids Triathlon. 7am! See ya there!

Thank you so much for allowing me this wonderful
opportunity and thanks, Bambi, for coming along
and acting as my assistant!

this December. She is just beautiful.

i must say that when i don’t have a wedding
already scheduled to photograph under my own

works. i have met and worked with some really
terrific photographers from all over and
the stuff we share like techniques and
equipment favorites etc….such fun!

soon so that i can make that 2008 deadline
for myself…it’s all about goals right?
