sneak peek : Leila [Mounds View


Leila holds one of my most favorite aspects of all photography.  The perfect serious expression.  Her stunning expression is something a photographer looks for when shooting images.  It doesn't matter the setting (inside, outside, field, flowers) - these soft, serious expressions belong on a wall, like art!

Leila brought in her guitar and her ballet shoes to help personalize her session!
(she kinda reminds me of this girl!)






sneak peek : Owen [Mounds View]


It's always great when we have past clients bring their friends and family to our studio.  In this case, Lance took Owen's mom's senior portraits years ago... just recently she brought her high school senior in for his senior portraits!  Lance has been in business quite awhile and he is still moving at lightning speed like he was when Lance Hill Photography first began.

Thanks for coming back to the studio and having your son experience Lance's expertise!

sneak peek : Madison [Blaine]


"A very comfortable setting.  It was hard to have a serious expression for some shots because I wanted to smile - it was so much fun!  I loved the old rusty car!" - Madison

"Lance took my senior pictures 30 years ago!  I knew he HAD to do my daughter's senior pictures!" - Conni, Madison's mom

it's back - the dock on the lake!

finally we've got the dock back... after tons of snow and tons of rain... we were struggling to keep it above the lake level - our lake literally ate the weathered dock our clients have come to love!

it's back!

sneak peek : Ashley [Hill-Murray]


"I had a great time getting my pictures taken at Lance Hill.  I liked all of the different outdoor options they had to take photos!  My favorite set was the outdoor swing." - Ashley

"I really liked the natural/nature backdrops.  Very soft and natural.  I think it also helped Ashley to be less nervous.  I appreciated the patience that was shown to my daughter.  My favorite set had to be the swing - it turned out great!  I learned a lot... about lighting, scenery, etc!  Thanks so much!" - Diane, Ashley's mom

We had a great time photographing MV senior Christina!  The weather was perfect!

"Lance Hill was able to meld his creative mind with mine to create unforgettable shots of my personality." - Deborah

sneak peek : Alecia [Irondale]


"I was searching and searching for a place to take my senior pictures and I got the Lance Hill brochure. I immediately fell in love with the pictures.  The experience was everything I hoped for and I just know the pictures will be great!  So fun to be a model for the day! :) " - Alecia

"My daughter Alecia knew she wanted her senior pictures outside.  So when we received your brochure in the mail, she knew she wanted to go to your studio.  She's always loved old trucks and actually got to take a picture with one.  It was a wonderful experience.  We will tell everyone we know that Lance Hill is the place to go!" - Brenda, Alecia's mom
