Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota makes for an exceptional backdrop, especially when you add to it the beautiful Noerenberg Gardens. This Senior wanted a good selection of shots and poses in a shorter sitting time. The Gardens are perfect.

The best thing about this venue is all the variety in such a short walking distance. Love it.

Your Senior Portraits in Minnesota should be an adventure. From studio shots like this to tearing up Minneapolis. From the Arboretum to the Sculpture Gardens. Make sure your Senior Pictures are as cool as you are.

Are your Senior Portraits all about you?

They better be!

Sure it is important to get the shots that Mom and Dad will love, but how about the ones you will love. I get asked all the time, “how many wardrobe changes can I have during my Senior Portrait Shoot?” As Many As You Like!!! This is your year and your time. For many, this is your one shot in front of a professional photographer until perhaps a Wedding comes along. Just thinking about this last sentence puts a whole lot of seriousness to your Senior Portraits. Don’t mess around with restrictive studios and rules that just make it more like work than fun.

From Creative Lighting to Unique Locations, your Senior Portraits need to reflect you.

Ready to get Started?

You only get 2 poses… what?!?!

Why would you settle for limited poses? I think my Senior Portrait photographer had this rule. I hated both of my shots. Awesome.

When I shoot pics for Senior Portraits, I get a little trigger happy. I take hundreds of pictures and you get to see them all – unless your eyes were closed or something, those I drop. And how about Facebook. Why do only 4 or 5 pictures from your shoot make it to your wall? You pick ‘em and I’ll post ‘em!

Great location by the lake…

Noerenberg Gardens is one of my favorite places on Lake Minnetonka for Senior Portraits. Three Rivers Park District does an amazing job maintaining this little park, as they do with all, and there is just about everything you could want for backgrounds in a perfect setting.

One hour of shooting time will yield more portraits than you can possible look through in one sitting.

The City has style.

Want great Senior Portraits? Want great Senior Portraits taken in Minneapolis? Look no further. I know dozens of amazing locations. This post focuses on the Stone Arch Bridge and the within walking distance surroundings.

Early morning photo shoot posted above. We started on West River Parkway, hit the Bluffs and some of everything else we could find along the way. From tagged walls, to old, semi-abandoned cars, there was everything you could imagine.

An hour and a half of shooting and we had tons of great photos. It is one of those places you just have to go and do, walk and explore, see what grabs your attention and shoot it. Just Perfect.
