Mill Ruins Park Senior Pictures | Tatiana

Minneapolis Senior Photography

Today I am highlighting Tatiana’s beautiful Minneapolis senior picture session. Tatiana’s mom Teri contacted me requesting a session with Tatiana. They had found my work online and decided to contact me, and I was thrilled! Senior sessions are so much fun, and I was excited to work with them!

Mill Ruins Park Senior Session

Tatiana wanted to hold her senior portrait session at Mill Ruins Park in downtown Minneapolis, along the riverfront. I love that beautiful park! She gravitated toward the park because it was a favorite location of her father, who had passed away just a couple of years ago. Holding her portrait session here was such a perfect homage to her dad.

The day arrived and it was sunny, although a bit on the cold side. We were all dressed in our warm layers and coats, while Tatiana wore her cute dresses and sandals. She persevered and it seemed the cold barely bothered her at all! We wandered through the grounds of the park as Tatiana rotated through three outfit changes and we stopped at numerous locations. We even had time to take a break before sunset to warm up in our cars for a few minutes too.

Viewing + Ordering Session

Teri + Tatiana loved the final images. They settled on ordering an Heirloom Print Box featuring a handmade copper-foiled glass box with heirloom matted 8×10 prints. These boxes are so unique and gorgeous! I am so excited to finally see the final box.

Thank You!

Thank you, Teri + Tatiana, for choosing to work with me as your Minneapolis senior photographer. I had so much fun working with you both, and I am thrilled that you love your images. And Tatiana, best of luck with your future endeavors!

Why Senior Pictures?

One big question many people wonder: why would we have senior pictures taken? School pictures are a yearly tradition, often happening right inside the school itself. Now forward to the last year of high school: it’s a time of tremendous life transition. Often times, seniors will soon leave home for colleges or jobs away from home and/or out of state. They become adults making their way in the world. Senior portraits celebrate that monumental transition.

Professional Senior Pictures

Working with a professional photographer means these portraits are not just standard school portraits under bright lights with generic backdrops. These portrait sessions can be held in a wide variety of locations that reflect the senior’s interests and personalities. From urban industrial scenery, to natural park settings, and anything in between. They can even bring props that reflect their interests, such as musical instruments, sports equipment, dance outfits, pets, etc. The sessions are around 1.5 hours or so, giving time for a variety of posing, locations, and even a wardrobe change or two. The time also allows for the senior to become more relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. This gives his/her personality a time to shine!

Senior Picture Benefits

Another major benefit of having senior pictures taken is the end product. You get more than just one final pose in front of a dull backdrop. You receive a wide variety of images, from full-length to closeup, from walking to sitting to standing, laughing, smiling, etc. With those images, you can find your favorites. From there you can create an endless variety of heirloom artwork. Our seniors and their families have purchased numerous artwork options. Some include albums showcasing all of their favorite images from their session, matted gift prints for family, smartphone albums, wallet prints, and even wall art.

All in all, senior pictures are an important part of life for a family celebrating the senior’s transition in life. If you are looking for a Minneapolis senior photographer, please contact me soon so we can discuss working together!
