Baby Wyatt
Posted on 19. Jan, 2012 by Molly Broman.
I’ve known Abbi and Cory for years. Back in junior high, Abbi being a Kenner and me being a Kentala, we were always seated right next to each other in classes. Cory I met in high school through my then-boyfriend’s group of friends, and he came to the studio senior year for our prom group’s [...]

My Best Friend’s Wedding
Posted on 17. Nov, 2011 by Molly Broman.
I met Liz Orenstein during my first week in the dorm at the University of Minnesota. Little did I know that we would become best friends, roommates for 3 years and–eventually–the maid of honor at each other’s wedding! A job transfer took Liz to the east coast in 2009. She met Corey Cohen the next [...]

Autumn Engagement Session
Posted on 07. Nov, 2011 by Jan Kentala.
When Sarah first emailed me and requested an outdoor engagement session on November 5th or 12, I thought “no way will it still be nice outdoors”. Wrong! Last Saturday was very windy but it was a beautiful sunny mild day. True, many of the trees had already shed their leaves, but there are always a [...]

Personalize Your Photo Shoot
Posted on 14. Oct, 2011 by Jan Kentala.
We are always encouraging seniors to bring personalized items to their photo shoot. A good senior session should include photos that tell us something about their life: hobbies, talents, pets, interests, activities, etc. Another great add on is to go to a “custom location”: a cool spot that hopefully no one else has discovered or [...]

Mike and Emily’s engagement session
Posted on 21. Sep, 2011 by Jan Kentala.
I have known Mike since he was in elementary school – in the same grade and on the same sports teams as my son, Jack. And I met Emily when she came to our studio for her senior pictures. Mike and Emily were “high school sweethearts” at Burnsville High School and have dated for 9 [...]

Basketball Challenge
Posted on 01. Sep, 2011 by Jan Kentala.
Tyler plays basketball for Lakeville North, but has played all around the country in the past few years. When he came for senior pictures, his mom said they really wanted to emphasize the basketball photos. They brought some examples of shots they found on the internet. I always love it when people bring different ideas: we [...]

Alecia and Richard 08.06.11
Posted on 10. Aug, 2011 by Jan Kentala.
The storms that were predicted for Saturday did not occur, which was a lucky thing for Alecia and Richard’s outdoor ceremony at the Eagan Community Center. However, the occasional ominous clouds provided a pretty backdrop for some of the photos! The temps were in the high 80′s with a dewpoint in the 70′s. The guys [...]

I have been photographing the Harrod family (with FIVE sisters) for many years, including the three youngest girls’ senior pictures. There is a new addition to the family – a BOY! His mom and dad just recently moved from Shanghai to the Bahamas and they were in town for a quick visit. So it was time for [...]

“Trash the Dress” Session
Posted on 14. Jul, 2011 by Jan Kentala.
Oh my gosh – I’ve been wanting to do a “trash the dress” photo shoot FOREVER. Somehow, all my brides are reluctant to do this! So I was estatic when Olivia showed up for her outdoor session with her prom dress in tow and told me “I don’t care what happens to it now”. “Are [...]

Trey and his friends go way back. They’ve been on many basketball, football, and hockey teams together. They wanted to have a special photo shoot to commemorate their friendship as they are all now seniors playing together for probably their last year. Trying to find a date when these eight guys were available was quite [...]
