The 27th | Out of Office

It’s been a crazy week here at MBP. Maybe you noticed? Maybe you didn’t? We spent yesterday with Josie + Jason, and today we heading to Germany for a week of shooting at the Fährhaus Hotel in Sylt, Germany. We may need to drug Matt for the plane so he can wake up ready to [...]

The 24th | Email Troubles Today

Ok… So everything broke today. I think we’re back up and running, but if you sent an email in the last few days and haven’t heard back… wait a couple more and then assume we didn’t get it. If you’re a kid or parent and are worried about the yearbook submissions don’t worry – if [...]

The 23rd | Joe | Senior Portraits

I’ve known Joe for 2 years know as he’s part of the youth ministry group that I lead every Monday night. He’s a great kid and has an extremely relaxed personality as you can probably see in these images. Joe is planning to attend the U of M next year and my guess is he [...]

The 22nd | Maggie | Senior Portraits

Maggie has a beautiful smile. We worked hard on the ‘relaxed face’ but I think the magic happened every time she just let herself go and laughed a bit. Also, how about the arm over the face shot where she’s grabbing the grate? My favorite for sure.

The 22nd | Avery | Senior Portraits

One of the things that I love about so many of the seniors that we photograph is that they’re always up for a challenge. I asked Avery if her senior year was going to be easy and she said that instead of taking basket weaving* she chose AP World Literature and Physics. Like so many [...]

The 21st | Megan | Senior Portraits

Megan wants you guys to know that it’s Homecoming Week at Edina. She also wants you to dress up and show some unironic school spirit. [Right, Megan? Isn't that what you said? I don't want to put words in your mouth.] You’ll see us at the game. We’ll be dressed as giant green and white [...]

The 21st | Ashley | Senior Portraits

Matt has listened to “I’m On A Boat” three times today in anticipation of our big trip to Germany and the North Sea next week. (How will I explain to him that T-Pain won’t be there?) These are images of Ashley, whose look is a great mix of vintage and modern: porcelain skin and hard, [...]

The 19th | Cecilie | Senior Portraits

Cecilie belongs to one of those families you love because you can see how much they love each other. You’re walking along and then you’re like, “Dang! I wish I could get in on that hug!” The good news is, you probably can.

The 19th | Annabel | Senior Portraits

Annabel! She’s got to be one of the nicest people around. She and her mom and I went on a little photo-adventure to a few parts of Minneapolis that I’d never seen before and we found all kinds of ivy, structures, and beautiful light. So much fun! Also, senior portrait season is winding down… We [...]

The 19th | Reka | Senior Portraits

Oh no! This blog post is horribly out of order. Reka dropped by the studio a while ago but somehow I messed up and the blog post didn’t get added to my to-do list. This is pretty much the worst thing to happen since my coffee grinder broke and I didn’t have caffeine for 3 [...]
