My handsome, talented nephew/godson. That should about say it all. ;) It's so hard to believe the chubby, curly-haired, curious little boy I used to know is all grown-up. He's not so little and chubby anymore - he's awfully close to a foot taller than me now - but he retained those curly locks! It's been so fun watching you grow up, JD! You are so incredibly sweet and kind and your auntie couldn't be more proud of you! Enjoy this next chapter of your life!! #Classof2019

Honestly, I think it's pretty cool when friends from high school entrust me with their precious family or senior photos. Lauren's mama and I have known each other since high school and here we are now with the first of children all grown up and graduated from high school! Lauren - you are an absolute sweetheart and it was such a joy to work with you. Your smile is contagious and those eyes - wow!! Enjoy your first year of college - such an exciting time for you and it will

Sometimes seniors bring along a prop or two, something that's a favorite of theirs or has special meaning. But the things Michael wanted incorporated were a little new to me. :) Michael's passionate about his bow and his truck - so we made his senior session all about both! And I learned a little in the process. Such a fun, SUPER EARLY morning session but totally worth it! Enjoy the rest of your senior year, Michael! #Classof2019 #SeniorPictures #SeniorPhotos #AimeeAnnePh

Yup, you read that right, part 2. This day was supposed to include her second horse but she was still recovering so it didn't work out BUT that did not stop us from still having an awesome fall session! We even still worked in a 'few' of her ribbons in her photos. It was a gorgeous, peak fall color day; a little windy but let's face it, Caitlyn has hair that works well with the wind so no big deal. I'm really so lucky to have met the Cody's and both sessions were SO much f

It’s too bad we didn’t schedule Logan’s session for the winter then we could have included his Fire and Ice King crown! If we had only known… Seriously though, that’s so AWESOME! I took a King’s senior photos! Woohoo! ;) I suspect one of the many reasons Logan earned that title is for how incredibly sweet and kind he is; that became evident to me right away at his session. Oh, and his killer smile. Tell me his smile doesn't make you smile, I dare you! Enjoy the rest of

I love when I can coax a smile out of the more reserved guys! Jack was one of them and I'm not going to lie there were a few moments at first when I thought, "I'll never get the smile his mom wants to see." but a little patience and perseverance paid off for all of us. ;) I really enjoyed this senior session with Jack mainly because he was just so darn sweet. I'm pretty fortunate that my clients are all really laid back, great people in general but when you get to work wit

What a great night we had downtown Minneapolis for Sarah's senior session back in September. She was just a natural for the camera and it showed through on her final images - ready to try whatever I asked and do it with confidence. I should stop being amazed the seniors I am blessed to work with - it's just reality that they are an amazing group of kids. Sarah - you're as sweet as they come and beautiful on top of it and it was such a joy to work with you! Enjoy the last

One of my favorite parts of my job is spending time with high school seniors and it's especially fun for me when I've been able to watch them grow up (or even just through the high school years) and see the awesome kids they are and even more awesome adults they're becoming. Talli, of course, is no exception. Beautiful, sweet, smart and a talented athlete - the girl's got it all! It was such a beautiful summer night we had downtown Stillwater, the time just flew by and we p

Every time I get the honor of taking senior photos for a high school classmate's son or daughter my mind is blown. We can't have kids that old, we were JUST in high school ourselves! Where did the time go? But, like I said, it's an honor. I'm beyond happy anytime I get to be out taking photos but it makes me happier when someone I've known for quite a few years puts their trust in my to capture these memories for them. Jarred was such a joy to work with: funny, handsome,

Right in the middle of 'how can he/she possibly be this old already' season. :) But seriously, Selena, weren't you just a little girl watching your sister play volleyball?! And now you're graduating? Time needs to slow down. Even though this session was waaayyyy back in August I do still remember what a beautiful evening we had for your photos. But of course, beautiful evening for a beautiful girl! I'm grateful to have gotten to know you and your family over the years! En

Was it purposeful that I waited to start blogging so many sessions that were from the summer until now when it's freezing outside? Maybe... ;) These two were such sweethearts and so incredibly patient with me as we zipped from place to place, walking and walking and walking. It was such a nice summer evening, after a quick rain shower, and both Sydney and Reese rocked their senior sessions both alone and of course together. Sydney and Reese - your senior year will fly by,

Beauty and her horse; my own little fairytale! What a perfect summer day we had for Caitlyn's senior session. We started off in Stillwater for the 'fashion' portion of her session ;) and then moved on to the stable where her horse, Waldo, lives. I'd be hard-pressed to pick my favorite part of the night but Waldo might've tipped the scale a little. Caitlyn is such a beauty and smart and a fabulous personality (and I could go on and on) - what a lucky, lucky girl! There are
