    Abbi was one of the most fun people I have ever photographed! She has very high energy, is creative, silly, and game for anything! We clicked right away and our session with her and her horse Lotus was pure fun. Afterwards, Abbi’s family invited me to dinner at the Ox Yoke Inn – some of the best food you will find in Minnesota. The whole evening was a treat!

    Abbi was so sweet to take the time to write me and let me know how she felt about her photos:
    “Thank you so much for taking my senior pictures. I love them all so much!!! All of them are so beautiful!!!!!!!!!! I think that you are an amazing photographer and I really am glad I met you, you are a wonderful person! ” Ditto Abbi, Ditto!

    I recently moved my horse, Maggie Sue, to a new boarding facility. She is really loving her new home and I am enjoying having more people to ride with (the main reason I moved from the private barn I was at before).

    Tanner, the son of the barn owner, is a graduating senior this year, so I had the opportunity to do his senior photo session at the farm. His two main passions are horses and diving, so we incorporated both into the session. The session was very laid back and enjoyable – just like Tanner. :)

    Emilie and her horse were a BLAST to photograph! Emilie was up for ANYTHING and he horse and I bonded right off the bat, so she was willing and happy to work with me during the session. After the session, Emilie’s mom sent me this note:

    “Hi Shelley – just wanted to say how much we enjoyed working with you yesterday with Emilie’s senior pictures. Just from your small window on your camera many of those pictures looked absolutely GREAT!! Thanks for all the time you spent with us.”

    I love my job! :)
