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 : 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!


sneak peek : Lauren [Centennial]




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 : Brittany & Brianna [Mounds View]






Beautiful sisters! I enjoyed having their different personalities showcased throughout their senior session - these are my favorite images captured from that day....
