Beyond Beautiful

We had the pleasure of taking E's Senior photos this past weekend. She was not only beautiful and stylish, but she was willing to basically do everything we asked of her . . . including climbing up on (very dirty) trains, being carted all over Grand Forks, North Dakota, and even trudged through a field of tall grass which we were sure was harboring some little critters.

Throughout the photo shoot, we were continually impressed by E's spirit and personality. She has all the main ingredients for being a fabulous young woman!

Here are just a few of our favorites:

E, we hope you have a fun and fantastic Senior Year at Red River High School!

styled shoot

We at My Friends Photography are always trying to stay current on all the new "photography trends". Some photographers are starting to do something called a "Styled Photo Shoot" where there is a specific theme incorporated into the photos. For these shoots, many different props are used as well as coordinating wardrobe selections.

We recently tried a few different themes with two adorable "BFF's" and this was the fruit of our labor:

What? You've never washed your tutus in the woods, hung them up to dry, and then caught up on some light reading with your best friend when you were six years old? You're missing out.

It was so much fun for us to get our creative juices flowing, shop for coordinating pieces, and play with these two kindred spirits! We would love to set up a "styled shoot" for you! Please contact us through our website http://www.myfriendsphotography.com/ and let us know your ideas . . . or let us think of it for you :)

A Day in the Park

We were happy to have the privilege of following this adorable little family around University Park in Grand Forks, North Dakota this past weekend . . . did I mention we will travel to fit all of your photography needs?!

I couldn't help but smile behind the lens of my camera as this young family interacted with each other as if I wasn't even around . . . and when I heard them talking to each other in this mother's beautiful native language (Portuguese) . . . all I could do was melt.

The best part of the photo session was the fun this family had together . . . mom and "E", dad and "E", then all together - honestly, it was just a day in the park.

Please enjoy some of the fun we had this Memorial Day Weekend. In my eyes, last weekend was the perfect combination of "business and pleasure".

Thanks "H" Family for the opportunity to capure your family's spirit and love!
