testimonial : Corrina [Centennial]




"It was a lot of fun! Lance was very helpful and creative with different backgrounds. I liked the relaxed atmosphere, I was nervous at first and then I ended up having fun! He used the little time we had, efficiently! I would completely recommend Lance Hill to all my senior friends, and brothers!" - Corrina


testimonial : Michelle [Chisago Lakes]




"It's great here! I've had lots of fun. I liked how comfortable it was here and how helpful everyone was. My favorite set was the swing & the window opening." - Michelle

"We love it here. As Michelle's mom, I am extremely comfortable with Lance Hill Photography as I was a customer almost 20 years ago for my own senior portraits. My daughter's experience was as great as mine was. We are looking forward to seeing the photos!" - Michelle's mom

Gabby F [Mounds View]



"My sister had her senior pictures taken here and had an amazing experience. We knew we had to come back for my senior pictures. A lot of people have referred us to go to Lance Hill - they say just wonderful things about the people who work there and about how fun of a time they have had! Now I can tell others about the wonderful experience I have had!" - Gabby

"Four years ago my daughter had her pictures taken at Lance Hill. However, mom didn't come with her. Today, my other daughter got her pictures taken at Lance Hill. This time I made sure to come with. It was an awesome experience and Lance is great. He is such an artist, he notices every detail! Thanks for making this a wonderful and fun experience for both my daughters!" - Gabby's mom, Darla


testimonial : Taylor [Totino-Grace]


"I really liked that we did different faces and different places. I liked the car and the close ups. It was a positive experience! I liked how he focused on the lighting!" - Taylor

"Lance spent a great deal of time on the details during the session. For instance, he was constantly working with the lighting and making sure the pose was just right each time. It was an extremely pleasant experience. Thanks so much for taking the time for an important day!" - Taylor's mom, Theresa

3 Irish Sisters



Last week we had the pleasure of photographing three beautiful Irish sisters in wool sweaters, wool socks, and cowboy boots - their mom took our advice and matched the coloring to the outdoor colors - these are just beautiful! Perfect for over the mantle of a fireplace!

testimonial : Alexandra [Mora]




"I had a great time. I was very nervous actually, but Lance was easy to work with and the pictures turned out amazing. I loved they laying down pose. It was helpful to be told how to sit, where to look, and which expressions to make." - Alexandra

We took Alexandra's mom's senior portraits in 1987 and she inquired about senior portraits for her daughter saying "I would be honored if you would take my daughter's photos. I have talked about this for years and she is finally a senior. Your photos are amazing and I want that for her. I have always dreamt of when she was a senior that Lance would do her pictures - we've waited a long time for this."

We were floored to capture senior portraits of Alexandra. Thank you for thinking of us, Laura!


testimonial : Andrea [Blaine]





"It was a great experience to have my senior pictures taken by Lance Hill. Each of the settings have a unique look, yet they're all in the same studio. Lance really took the time to find out what I wanted out of my senior pictures and who I am as a person. My session was very comfortable, which made it easier to take a lot of cool photos. I would definitely recommend Lance Hill Photography to my friends!" - Andrea

"It was a very enjoyable experience for both of us! We loved that both indoor and outdoor photos were able to be done at the same location. Lance took the time to see exactly what my daughter wanted for her session and also had many great ideas to offer, too. I was very pleased with the number of photos taken. It is really going to be hard to choose just a few favorites... there are so many!" - Andrea's mom, Laurie

testimonial : Sam [Stillwater]


"The session was a very fun and interesting experience. I had never really had pictures taken before. Lance was very helpful in providing ideas and showing me what I might like. My favorite set was outside in front of the waterfall." - Sam

"Lance was able to capture the best of Sam in a very painless manner. He made Sam very comfortable - can't wait to see the final results!" - Sam's mom, Deb


sneak peek : Laura [White Bear Lake]


The cloud coverage was iffy, the wind was blowing like crazy, but this shot is one of my favorites from Laura's senior session. Flawless. Beautiful!
