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

sneak peek : Amanda [Centennial]

Amanda came in last week for her senior session - all smiles and sunshine! Here are a few of our favorite images!

"I came in to have my portraits taken by the waterfall - and I got it! I saw my pictures during my session and thought they were amazing. I had a wonderful experience at this studio!" - Amanda

"Amanda really had a fantastic experience. Lance did a great job capturing "the essence of Amanda" with the lighting and settings. Her spirit and personality came through in every photo. We had a lot of fun!" -Keralyn, Amanda's mom

testimonial : Nadine [Mounds View]

"Wow! We sought Lance's advice for the outfits & poses, and our trust was well placed. He brought out Nadine's natural beauty. Trust him, he has the eye. Thank you Lance!" - Carla, Nadine's mom

"I had a great time, you made me feel beautiful! Having worked on the yearbook committee at Mounds View, I KNOW I can have a great yearbook shot to be remembered by - IF I went to the right place. I critiqued hundreds of yearbook shots & the best were consistently Lance's. That is why I chose him - and I'm glad I did!" - Nadine, Mounds View student

sneak peek : Jay [Concordia] part II

I forgot to post this image from Jay's senior session a little bit ago. HOW GREAT IS THIS!? It belongs on the cover of a menu to a German restaurant or somewhere. Love this smile, love this filter, love this energy! :)

sneak peek : Alyssa [Wayzata]

Alyssa is a 2012 senior at Wayzata. Lance enjoyed her senior session - dark features, dark hair, very photogenic, saying "Her eyes are simply stunning!" Thanks for coming in Alyssa!

sneak peek : Claire [Irondale]

After many rainy days on and off - the grass has been growing like crazy, same with the grasses we have on our studio property. Claire brought an instrument* in for her senior session and we decided to take it outside to the field for a change of scenery. This is classic, we might recommend this exact pose and artistic filter on a canvas print. I can see it hanging over a fireplace somewhere! Stunning, Claire!!

*bring in your instruments for your senior session at no additional charge
