sneak peek : Amanda [White Bear Lake]









































Amanda came in for her senior session with a beautiful floral top that looked great both indoors and out. Some fabrics with this type of look, photograph really well! We still recommend staying away from stripes, polka dots, and plaids if possible!

Other top ideas:
express [with dark jeans, skirt, or capris]
hollister [with a jean skirt & gladiator sandals]
abercrombie [with hair curled & wedge heels]

Thanks for coming in Amanda! Here are our favorite shots!



sneak peek : Chris [Spring Lake Park]



























"I'm training for a triathlon and I'm in better shape that I've ever been before. I wanted Lance to capture some body shots of me and he did an excellent job doing so. He used the lighting in the portrait to its fullest potential and also had a large number of backgrounds to choose from. Thanks for the great shots, Lance!" - Chris


sneak peek : Zack [Mounds View]




Zack came in for his senior session last week!
"I really loved my experience here & would recommend it!" - Zack
"Cool eyes!" - Zack's mom

Misha - adoption portraits
















Misha was adopted from Russia - his mother wanted to get some hi-key images done of him. I was in awe of his energy and outgoing smile!

sneak peek : Ali [Centennial]




















"The thing I liked most about my experience was Lance, the photographer. He is very fun to shoot with and knows exactly what needs to be done for each shot. My favorite composition was the one where my eyes are lit up on the black background!" - Ali


sneak peek : Emily [Hill-Murray]




Emily came in for her senior session last week - with balloons! What a stellar idea! We loved this creative aspect and will be looking for seniors to come in for a few balloon sessions later this season (thanks for the idea, Emily!)

"This was so fun! I brought balloons & I wasn't sure it would work out, but they were so fun! Everything was perfect and better than I expected." - Emily

"This was our second experience with Lance. The great experience and quality photos received with our son 3 years ago, led Emily to choose Lance Hill. He knows how to make a somewhat nervous senior, very relaxed. He involved them in the creative process! Just a GREAT experience!" - Gayl, Emily's mom


sneak peek : Ally [Mounds View]

































"We have been driving by the studio for years - it's fun to actually be here! The session was so personal - we never felt rushed. There were beautiful sets - Lance matched the setting with the outfits perfectly. We enjoyed the session so much, that I forgot where I was!" - Judy, Ally's mom

sneak peek : Hannah [Hill-Murray]

sneak peek : Alyssia [St. Francis]




"I loved his ideas and how he made the pictures flow. Lance was very helpful and gave great advice. I will definitely come back & refer him!" - Alyssia

"Lance did an amazing job of shooting Alyssia. The outside shots were so much fun to watch." - Nikki, Alyssia's aunt

"It was great to be back!! My aunt had photos taken by Lance years ago, then I came here and so did my brother. His photos are always exceptional!" - Jackie, Alyssia's aunt


sneak peek : Jesse [Mounds View]



AH! Loved this session! He came in for his senior session last week and we had a lot of fun incorporating his sports interests into the shots - weight lifting, baseball, etc.

"My session was awesome! I was very comfortable. It was nice knowing I was working with a professional!" :) - Jesse



sneak peek : Ianna [White Bear Lake]














































" 'I feel so pretty!', I thought - I felt so beautiful throughout the entire shoot. I loved the beautiful sets with the green grasses. The stone window was my favorite next to the door with the vines. The stone window I felt accentuated the fairy tale look I was hoping for, as did the door. Lance was very helpful with making the shoot fun & making it clear what pose he had in mind. I'd never done anything like this before and thought I would be so awkward. But, it was the opposite! It was easy for me to stay natural and not nervous at all. The session was fun and I feel absolutely beautiful. Thank you!" - Ianna


sneak peek : Dan [Centennial]




"It was a very fun experience - a breeze & very simple! I liked the different sets the studio had to offer!" - Dan

"Lance was extremely helpful and nice - easy to work with! I liked the outdoor shots and the ones with the white button up top and colored shorts outside. I will be referring Lance Hill to everyone." - Anne, Dan's mom


sneak peek : Ian [Hill-Murray]



Ian came in last week - an avid tennis player - we were sure to incorporate that into his senior session!
