WORTHINGTON, MN | SPRING MINI-SESSION EVENT

You asked, and we’re kindly accepting the invitation! ASP will be back in Worthington, MN the weekend of May 11th and 12th and is hosting a mini-session portrait event. Only, unlike events in the past, we are using a fabulous farm with scenes, props, and potential like no other. Your children will be exploring, moving, and playing in a whole variety of locations during their shoot. I can ensure you: your photos will not look different and unique from the others who book sessions for this event. And for those of you wondering, “How many photos can she get in 20 minutes?” LOTS! Your disc will have lots of variety, facial expressions, poses, and playful movement.

Bring a cowboy hat, a pretty lace dress, a colorful plaid shirt. With many props and backdrops to choose from, you simply cannot wear the wrong thing. Need more tips on how to style your kids? Click HERE.

To reserve your spot: we are requiring a $50 non-refundable deposit. We figure this is your way of committing to the session, since we have only a limited amount of room, and want to fill them all. This will ensure you a place in our lineup! Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

RICHARD + ALISSA | WORTHINGTON, MN | WEDDING

Early morning rain threatened a beautiful outdoor MN wedding, but when the heavens opened at 10:00 a.m. with warm sunshine, there was no raining on this parade! I’ve known Alissa forever. We grew up in the same church, same Sunday school class, and I have to say what a JOY it is to see someone again later in life so vibrant, successful, and happy! Richard & Alissa are certainly among the most stunning and loving of all the couples I’ve had the chance to photograph. Surrounded by a host of adoring family and friends, they were married in her parents backyard with the still waters of Lake Okabena alongside. I personally loved their casual and kind energy surrounding the entire day. Both were so go-with-the-flow, giddy, and remarkably generous among all their guests! Thanks to the lovely couple for the honor of documenting such a memorable day! Many blessings!

HANNAH | SENIOR SESSION | WORTHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL | WORTHINGTON, MN

You’d never believe I love blogging based on my lack of it lately, but with all the life changes, I’ve had to set it aside for a while. But in a late night effort and surge of creativity, I’m choosing to share a few photos from my summer session with Hannah. By far one of my favorite seniors of the year! I met Hannah while shooting her sister’s wedding earlier this year. She showed up to her photo shoot with A+ clothing choices (modest, classy, and very stylish), and brought a few friends along to help keep the energy high, and the laughter in abundance! We had a blast!

The photos of her with the yellow hat were a total coincidence. I found the hat at a local thrift store the day after her actual session (where she also wore the yellow dress), and I convinced her to get up with the sun the next morning at 6:45, put the dress back on, and do a quick sunrise session before school. We got all the vintage shots in about 30 minutes, and then I rushed her back to town so she wasn’t late! Definitely worth early wake up call! Thanks, Hannah, for all the joy and gentleness you bring to the world!
