just because i feel like sharing and this is my blog so i can do that, right? i have done more seniors this june-october than i ever have during a summer/fall. so, i have seen it all. i am not picking on dave at all with this post, but i don’t think he’d care if...
i am going to remove my mentoring blurp…i will be honest and say that i have only had a handful of inquiries outside the minneapolis area and i have gotten too busy during to even think about tackling this may-november. and i hope to use this winter to beef up my boudoir business and add...
i haven’t shown a before and an after lately, so here is one for your viewing. this is why my senior rates are as they are:) it is not just a click of a button…it is a lot more involved than that. i spend hours making each senior look their absolute best…just ask my kids/hubby!...
I have been in business roughly 4 years and i honestly have only experienced 3 years of seniors, as my website went up after the senior season was completed the fall the year i decided to take the plunge. obviously, i started doing any and all clients that inquired-newborns, families, kids, church head shots, unique...
yes, you read that right. lauren is from the state of arizona:) senior pics are not big down there and neither can you shoot on location/outside in the heat…so she flew up to me! lucky me! here are a couple before and afters for fun! full blown lauren post to come in the next couple...
i have had spanki mills on my google reader for the past month. ever since i came across her work it is truly work that i love and admire. i do not know her personally. in this field of photography there are so many styles and so many different looks, and lots of that has...
i am really liking boudoirs…and outdoors boudoirs are even better in my opinion!!! i have many more to edit but i am going to do them in shifts as i have other clients to work on too:)
i have shared a photography studio in ne mpls with kristen for over a year and she is a photographer who is consistent with her work and very knowledgeable. she is a fabulous woman, wife, and mom of three and it was so much fun being creative with a fellow photographer! here is one more...
My fellow photographer friend, kristen, asked if i would do an outdoor boudoir shoot for her as a surprise for her hubby for their anniversary. i was honored that she would trust me with this…flattered actually…but i felt some pressure as i haven’t done that many boudoirs yet. and she’s a damn good photographer too!...
I am playing major catch up today and I apologize to everyone for not getting back to you yesterday. I ate lunch with a photographer friend, erin benner, on Tuesday at Brueggers near the Galleria and we both started having food poisoning symptoms Wednesday night. It was downright nasty for both of us, I was...

I had the pleasure of meeting parker and his delightful parents near loring park last night…FINALLY!!!! the weather finally cooperated for an outside shoot like we wanted! parker did really, really well for his age but he was oh, so serious! stinkin cute, but serious! here is just one sneak peek for his mom…many more...
According to webster online boudoir is defined as: a woman’s dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room. boudoir is derived from the french word “boudor” which means “to pout”. on ehow i found the definition to be: a genre of photography that involves female subjects in sexually suggestive or sensual poses. it is distinct from...
I met with Sammie this past week for her mini “boudoir” shoot. I had worked with her previously so I was very excited. We had a humid, 84 degree day and I was a sweating:) As we all know things don’t always go like we want them to. On this day Sammie texted me saying...
i know that this is my third small post on my shoot with sammie. i promise i will have a bigger post with multiple images soon. again, this was a “tame” boudoir that i did with sammie, one of my seniors who i have previously worked with! actually now when i look at this image...
For those of you that follow my blog/website on a regular basis you may recognize sammie as i did her senior pictures. Here is one image for a sneak peek, we did a “tame boudoir” in the heat today! I am off to bed…but just had to share one tonight:) ***love her new tattoo***
a member on 2 peas asked for help with an image so i took the challenge. here is one of my edits of HER image. DISCLAIMER: i did not take this shot! **photographers outside of the metro area, i am scheduling photoshop mentoring sessions now:)
here is one of my favorite kid images…i just love K’s hot pink shirt with her blue eyes and this blue barn, yum! her eyes truly were this blue, i barely boosted them at all…very fun! now, if she would have had a pale yellow shirt on next to this fun barn, it just wouldn’t...
just look at him…his coloring and those eyes, and that shirt is just full of yumminess. My kids keep telling me “yumminess is not a word, mom”…but i’m gonna say it anyways:) taken with my 5 d mark II, 50 mm 1.4. i like them both, how about you? shelley
High School Seniors of 2012…just a heads up that I am starting to book for this spring/summer and fall and I am only shooting so many seniors per month so I can balance it all with my home life as well. My senior shooting schedule is up on my senior website, so contact me for...

left side…sooc right side…dramatic bw ***i will be honest and admit that this is not as crisp as most of my sooc shots. it actually seems a bit blurry. mary has very creamy, light skin. i often get asked what is my favorite way to edit my b&w images, and i always tell fellow photographers...
