I had so much fun on this shoot. JoHanna was perfect at posing, completely at ease in front of the camera, and willing to try all sorts of poses. It was awesome!! This little park was her suggestion. Can you say PERFECT?! Trees … rocks … water … a fabulous bridge. Sigh.

And the images … oh.my.goodness! I love so many that I am having a hard time choosing a few for my blog post. I hope you and your family love these as much as I do, JoHanna!

I think this is my favorite:

And how fun is this?!?

I should have the gallery ready to go soon. I actually had these ready a few days ago, but have been without computer access due to an unfortunate coffee incident. :-) But my brand new computer keyboard came today and I’m off and running!

it’s been a whirlwind of activity here at casa de lessinger this month!

i watched my niece (1.5) and nephew (3.5) for a few days … in addition to my kids (and if you can’t recall their ages because there are so many, they are 9, 5, 3, 1.5, and 1.5). Oh wait. See that 9 over there? The oldest? Well, the week that my niece and nephew were here also happened to be the week he went to church camp. So the good news was that there were only 6 kids. the bad news was that the easiest and most helpful kid was the one that was gone!

the following weekend, we had my grandma’s 80th birthday. yes, i have photos. no, i haven’t got them ready to share yet. read on. :-)

we came back from south dakota on sunday, and flew out to new york on the next tuesday. my hubby is from ny and we took a trip to visit his grandma and family. flying with 5 is … an experience. but it went well and we had a blast.

somewhere in all of that, i was able to be part of a fantastic 90th birthday celebration. i love how the dad brought out his top hat. check out his big ol’ smile whenever it is on his head!

thanks so much for letting my take your photos, guys. i know *ahem* some of you were getting a bit tired of the camera but everyone was so cooperative and the group looks fantastic!

one last thing – my senior search is still on! let me know if you are interested, and shoot me an email for additional information. summer is flying by!

Hi, all! Yes, my poor blog has been very neglected lately. As always, there is too much to do and too little time!

Here’s my reason for a drive-by posting tonight. Senior photo season is hitting. Well, if you are here in central MN, it feels like hurricane season rather than senior season. But i digress.

I need 2 or 3 outgoing seniors to be my marketing team. This is how it works: we shoot your senior photos. You get a good deal on your package. You tell all of your friends and show them your killer photos.

It’s that easy! So if you are that senior, contact me right away and we’ll get this thing started.

Here are my basic senior package prices. I don’t shoot in studio. All of my work is on location – I come to you, and bring my “mobile studio.” Think about the benefits of having your entire wardrobe + your “gotta look great” stuff right there, rather than trying to drag thing to a studio.

hope to hear from you soon!
