Our senior portrait sessions are all about celebrating the individuality of each young adult. From the studio to the senior’s grandfather’s home and beyond, we captured this senior’s personality, passions, and cherished memories, every setting told a unique part of the young man’s story.

Our journey began in the studio, where with careful attention to lighting and atmosphere, we aimed to create portraits that would stand the test of time. At the studio, I learned Jordon had no plans to remove his hat during the session, and that was perfectly fine because it’s a big part of his identity.

Tagging along through the session was Jordon’s new black lab puppy. He was stinking cute! But if you have followed our page you know, I love dogs and especially black labs as I have one myself. So when Jordon’s mom asked if the puppy could come with to the session, my answer was “ABSOLUTELY!”. Loved being able to capture the new bond between Jordan and the puppy. We of course had to do photos of Jordon with the puppy at each location.

To make this senior portrait session truly memorable, we headed to our next location – Jordon’s grandfather’s property. The backdrop of the grandfather’s property created a picturesque setting for our outdoor senior portraits. The serene landscape of Southeast Minnesota provided a perfect canvas to capture Jordan’s senior portraits with trees, grass, old barn doors, and tin.

His grandfather’s property also is next to a river, so we headed off into the woods and through some rough trails to the riverside and immersed ourselves in the world of duck hunting—a passion close to the senior’s heart. The serene waters and the beautiful play of light provided a great location for capturing his love for this sport.

To end the session, we made our way to a gravel road at sunset. Here, the senior’s truck took center stage—a truck that once belonged to his other grandfather who passed away 5 years ago.

This senior portrait session was a true testament to the power of photography in preserving memories and celebrating passions. From his grandfather’s yard to the riverbanks and finally, to the gravel road at sunset, each location held its own significance in the senior’s story. Thanks, Jordon for having us capture your senior portraits!
