Lauren is our Team 2012 spokeswoman from Centennial - she came back recently for her full senior session and these are some of our favorites!


sneak peek : Natalia [Mounds View]
















"My overall experience was great. The photographer made me feel so beautiful. My favorite set was the one with the old car. He was very happy and had lots of enthusiasm... which made it that much more fun. He was very good at coaching me and letting me know what to do. I had such a great time here at the studio and I definitely would come back here for future photography sessions... he is an amazing photographer!" - Natalia

"I had wedding portraits done 20 years ago at this studio and I wanted Talia's special day to be just as great! We were NOT let down! His creativity and personality that was incorporated into each shot gave me the chills... it was awesome to be a part and help with the shoot... Lance made a beautiful girl even more gorgeous! Who woulda thought!" - Paulette, Natalia's mom


sneak peek : Mary [Cretin-Derham]



"I had a great experience! Lance helped me through every picture and always made sure he got the best shot possible. When the sun was too bright, he adjusted everything so I was more comfortable. I cannot wait to see how everything turns out!" - Mary

"It was obvious that Lance is very experienced in photography. My daughter has somewhat unusual coloring (green eyes, red hair, lighter skin) & he caught her at her most beautiful! My favorite set was the tree swing and the courtyard window shots. It was a fun hour & I'm very looking forward to seeing the photos." - Cathy, Mary's mom


sneak peek : Kelly [Centennial]




"I had a lot of fun! I loved all the sets!" - Kelly

"Lance is very professional - you can tell he loves what he is doing. His use of light and the outdoor settings are done to perfection! I highly recommend him!" - Janice, Kelly's mom

sneak peek : Samantha & Melissa [Centennial]



"I thought Lance really did everything to get the perfect shot. I liked all of the different backgrounds that were there. I also enjoyed how Lance already had plans but before shooting he asked what I thought and if I wanted that shot compared to another. My favorite set was me on the swing with my hair moving in the wind. Beautiful work!" - Melissa

"I thought the whole experience was fantastic! Lance could do anything we wanted and had some awesome ideas for us to do, as well. His imagination took over and we captured the best pictures we could have ever imagined. I loved how he could get both my twin and I in a couple shots together. Lance was fantastic, we never had to wait for something to be done! Yes yes yes!" - Samantha

"AWESOME! I loved the variety of backgrounds and poses. Lance was so knowledgable on what would and would not work. Our favorite sets were outside. Great shots!" - Jodi, mom

sneak peek : MaryEllen [Centennial]





"I'm a dancer that has taken thousands of photos. The way Lance works with the light to create these photos is AMAZING! I have passion and discipline for my craft, my dance - I want nothing less than a similar conviction with my once in a lifetime senior portraits! This is why I chose Lance! Thank you!" - MaryEllen














"As a parent, I have one word - amazing! Lance took a look at my daughter & her outfits, and knew what and where to take the portraits. This was better than walking all around to look for the light - he has created it all! Thank you for the experience - it was wonderful! We can't wait to come back for the indoor photos!" - Sonya, MaryEllen's mom

sneak peek : Angela [Stillwater]





"Very passionate about photography. What I liked best was the outdoor scenes by the water, and the tall grasses. It's amazing how he built all the sets so they coordinate with the natural light! What was helpful was - Lance is a very good communicator with what shot he is trying to capture. There was no hesitation in his voice, he is extremely confident and loves to do his job! I don't want to THINK it looks good, I want to KNOW it looks good! With that said, Lance knows what looks great and there is not a question in his voice about what that is! :) " -Angela



"This was a very fun & enthusiastic photo shoot! He had great insight on color, light and posing to bring out the best! My favorite set for Angela was the dock. This was a great experience - I highly recommend it!" - Debbie, Angela's mom

sneak peek : Anna [Hill-Murray]
















"My senior session was relaxed - it was helpful that Lance talked and showed me the best poses!" - Anna

"I watched my daughter transform from a nervous, unsure girl to a confident energetic, happy one. From the moment he spoke to Anna, I could tell he had the "stuff" to bring out the best in her. It was a tremendous experience. Thank you." - Paula, Anna's mom

quote of the day

Going to the school photographer for a memorable portrait is like going to the school lunch room for a memorable meal...

sneak peek : Kendra [Irondale]






































"My experience was super fun and relaxed because he talked me through everything from poses to where I was standing. I liked the availability to go outside and stay inside. I liked the swing, couch, and every different scene. My favorite set was, all of them.... or just the waterfall! :) It was helpful that he gave me his advice!!" - Kendra

"I appreciate that Lance was able to do both indoor and outdoor images in one session. The outdoor settings are awesome! The artist's perspective was helpful to have - with regards to clothing and accessories. Not feeling rushed was great for my daughter! My favorite set was the waterfall - but they were all great - even the indoor ones!" - Michelle, Kendra's mom
