Senior Pics Preview

We had a photo session on this young man’s birthday…pretty cool that he didn’t mind spending part of an important day getting snapshot after snapshot for his senior pictures.  I felt blessed to meet such a nice young gentleman and I enjoyed some of the unique shots we took, including some with a prized possession of his—his grandfather’s truck!  I played around a bit in post-production and added a few artistic finishes on some of them, so hopefully he doesn’t mind my interpretations!

He even had the shirt to go with the theme—it was perfect!

I am enamored by this handsome little man, his big, big eyes, and his sweet parents—they are such a cute family!

I am in love with this beautiful and photogenic family!  I’m a little biased because they’re good friends, but really, they take such wonderful pictures!  I had a great time photographing them this morning—here are just a “few” of my favorites!

See how natural they are?  Seriously—I just told them to goof around so I could get my lighting and settings figured out….these are a couple of my favorite pictures!

These last few were just a fun way to end our shoot—on the warm beach on a sunny Saturday in August.

{Home}School Portraits 2011

Saturday, August 6, 2011 | Specials No Comments by Sarah Yankowiak

In the spirit of “non-traditional” schooling, I am offering non-traditional school portraits for students.  While this special is aimed at home schooling families, all families are welcome to schedule a session.

This year’s session will be offered at the Robert J. Elkington Middle School in Grand Rapids, MN on Saturday, October 1st, 2011.

Currently, sessions are available to be scheduled every 15 minutes between 9am and 12pm.  (Additional times and dates may be scheduled if these sessions fill up.)

Each 10 minute session is $10/child (all ages welcome, up to age 18).  Sibling groups can be photographed at no extra charge if each child has paid a $10 session fee.  Each child’s session will result in 5 edited proofs that will be available for viewing online and ordering 2 weeks after the session (click on link below for packages and ordering details).  There is no obligation to order images.  Schedule your session now by emailing or calling.
