One of the perks of the 'job' is that I get to meet and spend time with super awesome kids (and often, their equally as awesome mamas). Rocci, of course, was no exception. Such a fun evening with him this summer. Enjoy the rest of your senior year, Rocci! #AimeeAnnePhotography #Classof2020 #SeniorPhotos

Kali is one special girl! Incredibly sweet, beautiful, she's passionate about her animals and she helps care for her grandparents. It only made sense, then, that her session was at her grandparents home. Melt my heart! Besides the obvious bonus of spending time with this sweet girl, I got to meet her sheep, goat and dog AND spend time with her beautiful mama who I've known for most of my life. :) Enjoy the rest of your senior year, Kali! #SeniorPictures #SeniorPhotos

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

This was not the warmest afternoon every but Nick toughed it out to get his senior session in - and in short sleeves! Despite the cold it was such a great afternoon with Nick; he's just a super sweet, kind, laid-back guy which equals such a fun and easy session! #AimeeAnnePhotography #SeniorPhotos #SeniorPictures #HighSchoolSenior

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

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

This brave girl - just love her! How many high school seniors would willingly get up before the sun just for their senior photos?! The light is so beautiful in the morning and it didn't disappoint for this beautiful girl, either! Dari's super sweet boyfriend got up as early, too, for a little support (and a couple photos, as well). Cue the 'awwwwws'! :) I loved meeting Dari this day (all the way back in mid-October - seems like forever ago!) and really had so much fun wi

While I love meeting new people I really love getting to spend a little extra time with family. The smile you see on Anna? Genuine. The thousand different faces? So her. Some people are more comfortable in front of the camera, some less so and then there's Anna. :) I probably could've continued on with her for three more hours and never gotten bored or a repeat look from her. She's a true beauty and so incredibly special. And according to a gentleman passing by, her

I don't know, maybe it sounds redundant or repetitive but I swear it's the truth, I love what I do, I love meeting these ridiculously awesome seniors (and families and kids, etc) and I just feel super blessed to have these opportunities. (Side note: Bradley's grandpa was one of my high school assistant principals - small world!!) The date we chose was kind of a last minute thing and it's amazing how sometimes those work out the best. The night was beautiful - comfortably w

The guy with the killer smile; I mean photogenic much? And laid back, easy-going and all-around another great senior I got to work with!! This is how laid-back he is: my ‘just one or two more and then I think we’re done’ is a pure lie and even though I kept shooting and kept shooting after my ‘one or two more’ he just kept posing and smiling and never once did I see him roll his eyes at me (probably when I couldn’t see., but still!). And I found the key to get genuine smi
