Brooke’s Senior Session
Wrapping up my last senior session for the Class of 2024 with Brookes golden senior session at Glendalough State Park in Battle Lake Minnesota. She had a gorgeous evening for her senior session and I am so I’m so in love with her images. It was so much fun getting to know Brooke, she had traveled from Wahpeton North Dakota for this session and I was blown away at how small the world really is.
Abby’s Senior Session
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!
Kendyl’s Senior Session
Another trip to my hometown of Watertown, Minnesota in the books! It was such a weird feeling though driving around town and seeing how much had changed in two years since I moved away. But I had so much fun photographing Kendyl’s senior session and hitting all of the spots in my hometown!
Connor’s Senior Session
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!
Emma’s Senior Session
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
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!
Kiylee’s Senior Session
Another Glendalough State Park senior session at Golden Hour in the books! I had so much fun photographing with Kiylee and taking advantage of the gorgeous Minnesota evening! Getting to know Kiylee was a blast and I am obsessed with her senior session at Glendalough State Park in Battle Lake Minnesota.
Kylie’s Senior Session
Another incredible senior session for the books! I had so much enjoying the beautiful Minnesota evening and capturing some senior pictures for Kylie!

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!
Emily’s Senior Session
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! For Thor’s session we met at the Riverwalk that is located downtown Fergus Falls. The Riverwalk is a very versatile location for senior sessions and it gave Thor lot’s of variety in his images!
Time Management as a Wedding Photographer with a Full-Time Job
If you new around here, Hi, I am Jordan and I am a Minnesota based Wedding and Elopement Photographer…. and I also work full-time at a bank. When I first started my photography journey I was still a student in high school and I only worked part time. When I got to attending my photography program in college, I had designated time to shoot and work on sessions. After college I worked a delivery job where I made my own schedule. But once I moved to Fergus Falls to live with my now husband, I had to start working a new full time 9-5 (because my beloved grocery delivery job was unavailable here and you know bills to pay). So I had to learn how to manage my time quickly if I wanted my business to stay afloat and continue to grow.

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.

Fergus Falls Senior Session- Zoe
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!
Fergus Falls Senior Session- Crystal
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!
Fergus Falls Senior Session- Ryder
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.
