I don’t usually laugh so much at headshot sessions, but James kept this shoot light and easy. As a bonus, it turned out to be a good way to get reacquainted with a neighbor I haven’t had a chance to talk with since the weekend we moved into our house four years ago. Not pictured: The outtakes where James is literally crouching in the prairie grasses, ready to attack!

Kelly is one of my favorite people. It was her own journey back to grad school to become a therapist that gave me the bravery to finally start down my own grad school path. She’s now actively working with clients and guiding them to embrace both the light and dark parts of themselves and of life. As she launches her new therapy practice, she wanted some fresh headshots. We had a lot of fun chasing the winter light around my home studio. If you need a therapist, I’d recommend reaching out to Kelly; she’s local in Northfield, but also does telehealth.
