Jessica | Minnesota Modern Senior Photographer

August 31, 2009 – 6:39 am

lagerblog1Jessica traveled all the way from Williston, North Dakota for her highschool senior session.  I have a lot of clients travel in for thier senior sessions, which always makes it fun. They make a special trip out of it, shopping, having fun and then having thier pictures taken. This allows for unique senior pictures in and around Minneapolis, but also for a memorable trip with mom or dad or both.  This session was extra special because Jessica is one of my favorite cousin’s daughter.  I cannot believe she is already a senior. She has always been the sweetest girl, and she is beautiful both inside and out.  I hope you are enjoying the “sneak peek”. The gallery will come soon!lagerblog2

Mentoree | Minneapolis Photography Mentor

August 21, 2009 – 7:32 am
Meet Sara from Battle Lake, MN! Sara is one of my recent mentorees. We had a great time together! Read on to learn more about her from our interview:
What I loved about my mentor session with Lisa (shameless plug):  It was awesome start to finish.  She tailored the session to my needs.  She asked me what I was looking for and what I wanted to learn.  I got that and SO much more.  Lisa is a “real” person.  She is fun, and energetic and such a sweetheart.  I was looking for straight answers to my questions and that is what I got. She gave me a great starting point to get my business going.  I wanted a one on one experience where I could ask as many questions as I wanted.  I felt comfortable and was not intimidated by her awesome talent.   So you are wondering if I liked it…..I LOVED it….I told Lisa that I would like her to mentor me every day for a month.  When I left she let me know if I had any unanswered questions to email her and she would help!  Thanks Lisa for a great day and a great experience!
I find my work at: I spend most of my days at my restaurant, Stella’s and am getting into photography.
My biggest accomplishment this week was: Buying my new computer…took the leap!  Now its real and I am serious!
In my camera bag is: Canon 50d, 50mm 1.2 lens, 20-70 mm 2.8 lens
My recent favorite image is: I took my three children on a little “photo shoot” by the lake (ALONE).  Everyone managed to stay dry for maybe 5 minutes.  So we continued to take photos in the water.  I looked over and saw my daughter in the lake sucking the water out of her dress…YUCK!  I guess she was thirsty.  But a great photo!

Our last family vacation was: We took a road trip to South Dakota….everyone tries this….. once!
Something most people don’t know about me: I have a black thumb…..I can’t keep any plant or flower alive for more than a couple weeks. I would love to have a garden or beautiful landscaping but I would have to hire someone to keep it up!
In 5 years I see myself: Running a successful photography business and watching my babies grow up!
