sneak peek : Emma D [Mounds View]





Emma has a beautiful smile! Here are a few of my favorites from her senior session!


testimonial : Evan [Roseville]






"It was a great experience, fun and easy to do. I'm passionate about the outdoors, fishing, canoeing and kayaking - Lance was able to make me feel at home outdoors like in the Boundary waters. Thanks a lot, this was fun!" - Evan

"Lance photographed our oldest son 4 years ago. That comfortable experience brought us back. Through the use of fishing and canoeing props, Lance was able to bring Evan into his natural elements... providing us with not only a wonderful experience, but memories that aligned with Evan's personality! Thank you!" - Evan's mom

testimonial : Lauren [White Bear Lake]


























"What I liked the most about taking my pictures here is having the opportunity to do so many different shots & doing things that I thought would be a good idea. Some tips that were helpful were when Lance told me how to smile & when, when to sit up straight, and not to sit almost perfect. My favorite set was the waterfall & the swing! I also loved how I could bring in my snowboard and do a ton of different shots with them! I LOVE IT HERE! :D" - Lauren

"I came with my friend Lauren Sweet. I helped her with her pictures a lot. I had to go to the high school promoted photographer and mine are no where comparable to Lauren's; actually my senior pictures sucked. I wish I could have my pictures done like Lauren's. Mine were shot in weeds; Lauren's were in a beautiful scenery. Lauren is so lucky." - Melissa, Lauren's friend

"Lance has taken all three of my children's pictures for the last 17 years. It is hard to believe that he also took my senior pictures in 1989! There was no question whom would shoot my older daughter's senior pictures when the time came. The outdoor shots are so beautiful with the props and lighting - it's always a challenge to choose!" - Lauren's mom



sneak peek : Chelsea [Centennial]




Chelsea was referred by Cecelia Porter. Beautiful long brown hair, denim jacket, great smile! Thanks for coming in Chelsea!


testimonial : Sara [Totino-Grace]




"This was a great experience, it went smoothly and was fun! I liked all the different settings Lance put me in, his comments helped a lot on how to stand, sit, etc. My favorite outfit was the white top with the black skirt!" - Sara

"I brought my older daughter to Lance Hill 4 years ago and was very pleased with the photographs, so I wanted to have her sister's senior pictures taken at Lance Hill also!" - Sara's mom


testimonial : Amber [Centennial]






"I thought it was a very nice experience! Lance seemed like he knew a lot. I loved how the lighting was around my body. Also, I enjoyed all the settings he had to offer - will recommend him to all my friends!" - Amber

"I enjoyed watching both of my daughters being photographed, 15 years apart. Lance captured the perfct lighting for the photo's and I am very pleased with them. I will be back for a family photo and will bring my grandchildren 15 years from now." - Amber's mom

sneak peek : Jessica [Mounds View]



beautiful. timeless. fabulous smirk in the courtyard! :)


testimonial : Kelsey [Irondale]





"Even though the weather went from rainy to sunny, we were still able to get some shots outside. Also, it was nice to be able to get lots of dance pictures!" - Kelsey

"My son had his pictures taken here four years ago when he graduated - so I knew to bring my daughter in as well. We did a brother/sister picture with each reflecting their personality (film & dance). Lance was wonderful to work with and encouraged us to reflect each personality." - Kelsey's mom

testimonial : Sarah [Irondale]




"The whole experience was amazing! Lance was very knowledgeable. He knew exactly where all of the lighting should have been. They were catering to my every need and even though it as 95 degrees outside, Lance always made sure I was cool enough and kept me cool, I even got ice water! I highly recommend Lance Hill Photography!" - Sarah

**this is especially nice when some studios drive you to a remote location or park in a hot car when it's 95 degree humidity outside!

testimonial : Rachel [Roseville]








"I really liked how there were so many different scenes to take pictures in. It was fun and very enjoyable to do!" - Rachel

"The photo session was great! We had many different environments for Rachel's pictures - very artistic and lovely pictures. Thank you! Rachel's sister had a wonderful experience two years ago as well!" - Rachel's mom

testimonial : Jordyn [Totino-Grace]




"The whole experience was wonderful. The air conditioned space was nice and with all the different options inside! The different lighting positions were great.. my favorite set was probably on the hammock. Lance was great, helpful and I had a lot of fun!" - Jordyn

"It was a wonderful experience, nice not to be sitting in heat. From the time we walked in until we left, everyone was so nice. All the images were my favorites, I cannot choose just one. We will be back in the future with my other daughter I will tell others to come here!" - Jordyn's mom

sneak peek : Seth [Centennial]




Seth's sister, Mallory, came to us for her senior portraits... now it's his turn! He has a great smile, just like her! These are our top favorites of Seth... thanks for coming in!!!


testimonial : Laura [Mounds View]




"At the beginning of my session, I had mentioned to Mr. Hill that I was a swimmer but didn't know how to incorporate that in a picture without being in the pool. Shortly after saying so, Mr. Hill came up with a fun photo session inside that made me look like I was in the water! It was exciting, interesting, and super fun!" - Laura

"We brought along our 1954 Chevy pickup truck which has been passed down from Laura's grandpa - Lance did an awesome job of photographing Laura with the truck. I am sure Grandpa will be so happy when he sees the photos!" - Laura's mom


testimonial : Alex [White Bear Lake]



"I thought I would hate it, I did it for my Mom.... I REALLY had fun!" - Alex

"We're been coming here since Alex was knee-high to a grasshopper, now we're doing senior photos! What history behind Lance's lens..." - Alex's mom


testimonial : Zach [Irondale]



Last week we photographed Zach from Irondale for his senior session. He is a musically talented man and this is a collage we designed to showcase that!

"This is exactly him! This is who he is! This was our 2nd graduate - 2nd time to Lance - for senior pictures. Each time has been a different setting but each time has been so comfortable and Lance knows how to bring out the exact personality of each of our kids. That's what we want - who they are, not who they are "dressed up to be" - something they are not! Great job! These are memories for a lifetime!" -Zach's parents
