What can I say about Carly? I loved her the second I met her. Those eyes. That smile. That energy! I think I left that session a better person.

Carly is incredibly active in pretty much everything... I am almost surprised she had time for a photo shoot! Ready for a list of just some of the things Carly does in her "free" time? Volleyball (Capitan no doubt), Lacrosse, Mock Trial, Nation Honors Society, Youth in Government, Students Council, Health Club, Math League, Lasallian Youth Leader, Yoga, Mission Trips and Minnesota Page Program.... can anyone say President one day?

I think the coolest thing was that Carly had gone on a mission trip to Guatemala (where I had lived for 8 years and family created a non profit). It was fun to share stories of our travels.

I was thrilled to work with Carly for her senior portraits. Everyones lives that she touches is truly blessed. I know I have been!

(Summer is almost here and time for a new batch of  Senior photos! Visit the SENIOR page on my website for more information on getting senior portraits done in Minneapolis and the burbs!)

Julia most reminded me of myself when I was younger. Goofy, fun, silly, and not afraid to step outside of the box. I had so much fun with her as I knew she was up for anything when we did the styled sessions. Julia has a style blog and is always up on the new trends as well as creating some of her own.

She is super involved at school and church. She was captain of the volleyball team at Wayzata and also in student council. Plus she can sing and is in the choir. Triple threat here guys! Outside of school, she is a member of the North Woods National Charity League.

Enjoy some of the images from her senior session and her styled session!

I wanted to spotlight the first Model Crew member... Anna Galioto, a senior at Holy Family High School.

I literally fell in love with Anna and her mom the second I met them. She is the sweetest human ever and I know her family and friends can attest to that. She also has a huge heart and has done mission trips abroad. It was fun to chat with her about her travels to Guatemala where I had also lived for 8 years.

She is very active in school with Student Council, Math League and Honor Society... but dancing is her love and what takes up most of her time. I wish her the best as she gets ready for the next stage of her life in college. I know that wherever she lands... the world will be a better place.

Please enjoy a few favorite images from her senior session and her model crew styled session!

After many years... I decided to bring back my Model Crew this year. I wanted to bring back that personal touch to my senior marketing. Get some real kids out there who will spread the good news about Annie Marie Photography to their friends. I believe there is no better way to let others know about your services than good old fashioned word of mouth! So I gathered my team.

I found several juniors (2019 seniors) and underclassmen who were awesome people and active in their schools and communities. I got together a bunch of fun styled looks for each of them and the fun began! Each one had her own styled session with the looks that I created for them. Some styles were trendy some were cute and some were a bit more edgy. I am pretty much obsessed with styling different looks from top to bottom and enjoyed this whole process. I appreciated the kids willingness to let me dress them up!

Here is my wonderful crew and their styled looks. I am so excited to work with those who will be seniors again this summer for their own senior session. And for those who are junior models... hopefully get another fun season with them next year on my crew!

enjoy....

There is just something about the desert and especially Sedona that captivates me. I am not sure if my soul is attached to it somehow, or if it is just because it is a land so vastly different from the green and lakes of Minnesota... but it calls me. I would probably never actually live in the desert, (I need my lakes and my trees and my green), but my heart definitely lives there.

I did a couple styled destination senior sessions out there this spring. I had ideas in my head. I had outfits ready and found the perfect young ladies to "fill the shoes" (literally). Kate and Taylor were super sweet and allowed me to dress them up and run all over the Sedona landscape searching for the perfect spots. I wish I could do this every year!

It's hard to believe that it almost time for senior sessions for the 2019 seniors! I have some fun new additions to my session offerings making your experience even better! I have added a session with the full pampering treatment with a professional hair & make up artist. And I am most excited for the new session I have added with a senior film! Please let anyone in Minneapolis and the Burbs know that Annie Marie Photography is ready to go for the next season!! Check out my website for more information!

Enjoy...
