I just love working with seniors! They have such amazing personalities and identities. Maloree was no exception to the rule. She has a style all her own that she just rocks, and a smile to go with it. She just had so much joy, and a wonderful laugh, and it made our senior session in downtown Minneapolis that much more fun. Thank you for such a wonderful session Maloree, you are such a beautiful, amazing, talented girl!
Bailey is my Armstrong High School senior rep and we did her final session along with some images of her and her brother and mom. She is so beautiful inside and out… just an amazing girl. Very active in cheering, school and a social butterfly. I looooved working with you Bailey. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
Meet the Seys family! What a fun family to photograph. I had such a great time with these boys, they happen to be the same ages as my 2 children so we had a bunch to chat about. They were so good and I just loved the way they interacted with their dad, they clearly adore him. Thank you so much Scott for allowing me to photograph your family memories. I look forward to working with you again!
It is always a pleasure to work with a family that is excited about having family pictures. It seems like moms do not get into the pictures often enough (they are usually behind the camera). This session took place on one of these hot “fall” days we are having but the whole family were troopers. I have been very blessed to know the Williams, as they are friends and our children go to the same school. Aren’t they a great looking family. Thank you for the fun day, and Hailey, I may need to hire you to help out..you did such a good job working with me and your sisters!
I love love LOVE the opportunity to share my experiences with other photographers through mentoring. I have received countless e-mails asking various questions about how I do things, so Lisa Slotsve Mentoring was born!
Gabriel & Carin are amazing. They were in the Minneapolis/St. Paul on some other business and spent the day with me on a few senior shoots, then we went over business processes and forms among other items. They are going to big, so watch for them on the blog. I am so blessed to know the Blacks and felt honored that they would consider spending a day with me to learn more about the ins and outs of photography business.

What I loved about my mentor session with Lisa: Lisa is AMAZING and super talented. She is absolutely a great teacher. She is fun and clearly loves what she does. We learned more from her in one day than what we could have learned in a year. We loved every second of our session with her.

I ADORE this family… I ADORE this girl! She looks amazing and has the best personality! I cannot wait for you to see these Allie so that you can see how photogenic you are!
I have known Jenna for a looong time (does that make me old?) I cannot believe how much she has grown up into this beautiful woman. Our first session was rained out but we managed to get a few fun images in before we had to pack up. The next day we tried again, and the light and weather were perfect (as was Jenna)! She found a wonderful location and we had a great time taking unique, senior pictures in a hidden location in Lino Lakes. Thank you Jenna for a great session!
Ahhh no greater joy then watching “my babies” (those I have photographed from newborn stage) grow up. I can not believe what can happen in 8 months time. Chubbier cheeks and thighs, giggles and laughs. I love this age. It is pure joy and fun. We had a great time capturing her inside and on the shores of her home. These portraits are extra special because Amelia loves her beach and sand outside their Minnetonka home, and they will be moving to a new home soon, so we were able to keep those memories on film FOREVER.
