Senior portraits are probably my favorite thing to photograph. I draw so much inspiration and motivation from talking to and learning from each senior during their session. It is so incredible to me to see how many different paths people take, and learning how each senior decided on their path is so wild.

Another golden glowy senior session in the books! I had so much fun photographing in downtown Fergus Falls for Abby’s senior session. I have been living in Fergus Falls Minnesota for almost two years now and this was my first session using our downtown as a backdrop! And it did not disappoint I was so excited to finally use all the amazing spots that I have been eyeing for years. Like I have had them pinned on my apple map since before I even moved here!
I love shooting senior sessions in downtown Excelsior Minnesota. There is so much variety in a smaller area. It is a perfect location for my senior mini sessions and for seniors who wants professional senior pictures taken but hates the idea of taking pictures for hours!
Another stunning Glendalough State Park Senior Session for the blog today! I absolutely love this location and so far this year I have gotten to photograph 3 seniors here! It makes me so happy when I get to photograph here! Working with Emma was so much fun, and even though we had a colder, windier and overcast day I absolutely love her images!
Cam’s senior session was so much fun and I am so excited to be sharing his images on the blog today! I got to travel back to my old stomping grounds of Carver County Minnesota to photograph Cam’s senior session. It was super special to get to go on location and visit Cam’s family’s home for his senior session. They built their home from the ground up and it is absolutely stunning! It is so special getting to photograph seniors at locations that mean something to them!
Another incredible senior session for the books! I had so much enjoying the beautiful Minnesota evening and capturing some senior pictures for Kylie! For Kylie’s senior session we visited many Fergus Falls locations and got to incorporate many of Kylie’s activities such as tennis, horses, FFA, and even racing! I had so much fun with Kylie and her family and I am so excited to be sharing her senior gallery on the blog today!
Summer Senior Sessions are the main reason why I love being a Minnesota Senior Photographer. For Emily’s senior session we went to Glendalough State Park in Battle Lake Minnesota and took full advantage of all of my favorite spots in the park. From the lake, to different bridges, trails and my favorite the wildflowers. Glendalough State Park is the perfect location for you nature loving seniors for your senior session!
My first Class of 2024 senior session for the year! I had so much fun photography Thor’s senior session and it was a great way to kick of my 2024 senior season!

Cap and gown sessions are a great way to celebrate your graduation! When I did mine from when I was a high school senior I was a little nervous I wouldn’t ever use the images. However, I still look at these images, 4 years later, and still love them just as much as the memories behind them. Doing a cap and gown session is a quick and easy way to capture those memories of all you have accomplished as a student and enter the next chapter of your life. This blog post talks about cap and gown sessions and how they work when you book with Jordan Elizabeth Photography.

Zoe was my last class of 2023, senior session for this photography season, and what started as a cold and windy Minnesota day turned into a slightly less cold dreamy golden hour session. Zoe really lucked out and my senior photographer brain got so excited once the sun poked out, I feel like I might have come across as a crazy person with how excited I got for a little bit of golden hour for Zoe’s senior session!
Since moving to Fergus Falls. I have gotten to explore so many new locations for Senior Sessions. For Crystal’s session she took me to the Friberg dam and it was so pretty! I love getting to visit new locations to photograph in. And she had the most stunning golden hour lighting for her senior session!
I just love senior sessions, but something that I love more than senior sessions. Are senior sessions in the fall, and senior sessions that are personal. I think I have said this in every senior blog post but I love when seniors make their session personal and about them!
Ryder was no exception, he included so many things that he loves it really pushed me creatively and I learned a lot from Ryder.
Not only did I learn about how to pose with a bowling ball, or a car. But I also learned a lot from just being yourself. Ryder was a very inspiring guy during his session. And as I drove home I just kept thinking about how cool this guy was. He is very passionate about the things he likes. And is unapologetically himself and it was so cool to see and then get to photograph.
Who knew that Fergus Falls has so many hidden gems for your upcoming senior session? The same basic places that you drive by every day are actually stunning for backgrounds during the senior sessions. Plus almost every session I find a new nook to test out for making each senior session more unique!
Joe completely killed his senior session out at a family friend’s house just outside of Fergus Falls and wow, I love getting to explore on-location senior sessions and seeing what spots I can find in new places. I love being able to go to locations that are chosen by the seniors. I think it makes their images more unique to them. Anyways here is Joe’s senior session in Fergus Falls and I am very excited to share them!
Back at it with another STUNNING senior session here in Fergus Falls. Leila was such a natural during her senior session and I am so excited to be sharing her senior pictures on the Jordan Elizabeth Photography blog today. During her senior session, we ran around in a grass field at golden hour and then made our way to the tennis courts in Fergus Falls. I love senior sessions and all the variety you can get with them in a short amount of time!
Got to go on a little road trip from Fergus Falls to Lester Prarie for this senior session and wow was it so worth it, After some concerning weather reports, we adjusted times and had a gorgeous evening for a senior session! Lydia completely killed her session and I am so obsessed with her senior pictures!
Super excited to be photographing more Cap and Gown Graduation sessions this summer! Plus for this one I got to travel to my hometown of Watertown Minnesota to photograph my sisters high school graduation! We ventured to an old bridge and town and spent a few minutes taking some photos of her in her cap and gown! Biggest win of the night however was the magical sunset we had at the end!
Cap and gown sessions are a great way to celebrate your graduation! For this session, we wandered around the University of Minnesota campus in the Twin cities and celebrated Grace’s graduation from college!
Excelsior, Minnesota is always one of my favorite locations to have senior sessions at! There are so many varieties of backdrops to choose from and experiment with, every senior session turns out so different! Lily had such a gorgeous Minnesota fall evening that everything was literally perfect for her senior session (okay except maybe some wind but it is fine.) Everything was beautiful, the fall colors. Her outfits, Excelsior did not disappoint.
We wandered around downtown Waconia for Lydia’s senior session and it did not disappoint! We had some amazing Minnesota golden glow and found some stunning nooks to take some portraits in! I am definitely excited for the next time that I get to explore Waconia Minneosta
Mackenzie reached out and asked me for a tall grass field senior session during golden hour. And man did this location and the lighting did not disappoint. Carver Park Reserve in Victoria Minnesota is so jaw-dropping stunning I am so excited I was finally able to have a senior session there!
Another stunning evening in Victoria Minnesota for Kevin’s Senior Session! We hung out in Carver Park Reserve and had an amazing golden hour glow! It was so much fun getting to know Kevin during his session!
Alexa decided to explore Minneapolis, Minnesota for a city-vibe during her senior session. And let me tell you Minneapolis did not disappoint, we wandered around the North Loop area, took some stunning parking garage images during golden hour that overlooked the Minneapolis skyline and headed down towards the Mississippi River, and just had such a gorgeous session in Minneapolis. I am so excited about her session and cannot wait to explore Minneapolis more in the future.
Grant decided to have his senior portraits taken on the family farm just outside of Watertown, Minnesota. We had a quick and easy session but we still captured a lot of Grant’s personality. We had gorgeous light and a perfect evening for his session! I had an absolute blast and I love shooting at personal locations like this one!
Jessica had such a gorgeous night for her senior session! Jessica decided to take her senior pictures in her own backyard and so we explored the woods and trails behind her house! It was so beautiful and I might be obsessed with working at my senior’s homes just to add that personal touch to your senior session! Like how special is it to take your pictures at your house or any significant location!
Eli’s senior session was so much fun, we explored the Waconia City Park and although this location is small it is mighty and we found some amazing spots and captured some stunning images! I have never had a session in Waconia, Minnesota so this session was a fun new challenge for me as I worked on finding good spots in small and new locations!
Jordan’s Senior Session was literally such an adventure! From a 45 minute drive to the city of Minneapolis, to maneuvering all-around all of the other people at Stone Arch bridge, to battling with the Minnesota humidity! She faced it all and we ended up with some gorgeous results! And now I want to always have my sessions at Stone Arch Bridge and St Anthony Main!
Ruby was such a blast to work with. We wandered around downtown Anoka, Minnesota, and found some stunning spots all over the area! I have never photographed in Anoka before so this was so much fun exploring the new area. After some downtown portraits, we headed out to Otsego Park and captured some gorgeous Minnesota sunset images in a field! Ruby’s session was such a dream and I loved photographing in the new areas of Anoka and Otsego!
