HS senior

Monday, August 25, 2008

this is my first time photographing a high school senior
as i reflect on my style and what i enjoy the most about photography it IS the people - REAL people
my work has been described as REAL by fellow photographers - this means a lot to me that i am staying true to myself and my style
I am so grateful to have had this opportunity.

We couldn’t be further from an ocean but there are plenty of beaches and lakes here and we are still REALLY loving summer in Minnesota!

These were taken at Lake Elmo Park Reserve - i like to get there early, before anyone else -
