We made a last minute pivot with Jonas’s senior photos, deciding to venture up to MCAD and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It was a windy day as fall faded closer to winter, but despite the weather, we had a blast exploring different sculptures and murals as backdrops. The location suited Jonas: cool, complex, surprising, and architectural (his anticipated future career path). As a bonus, given the blustery weather, we nearly had the museum grounds to ourselves. Jonas and Emily, thanks for this invitation and adventure!

It was a happy accident — a Google search error returning a different Kallie R doing photography in Minnesota — that led me to meeting Cassie and her mom. I love how vibrant this shoot ended up being, thanks to all the color and sparkle Cassie brought, plus the good benefit of a perfect August night. We wandered downtown Northfield, then caught the sinking sun out at the Arb.

Rylyn and her boyfriend Chris showed up at 7 am the morning after their Carleton College senior prom looking so fresh and put-together I was worried they hadn’t properly been celebrating senior week. But then Rylyn tried to say hello and her voice was gone from a week of yelling with friends at loud activities, and I was frankly relieved. In the rush of the last week on campus before heading onto the next chapter, it was nice to have a quiet morning on campus, just to ourselves.
