Classical Beauty. {Portrait Photography | Twin Cities, MN}

Once again I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the classical composer, Dr. Kirsten Broberg.  Her music has been described in reviews as "stunning and picturesque."  Clearly her music is an extension of the composer herself!

We went beyond the concept of traditional musician headshots, and did a bit of everything during her portrait session.  We also had sun, we had rain, and we had dramatic indoor light.  It was an evening of adventure.  And here are the results - I love what we were able to do in just one session!  (I love her adorable dogs, too!  They are so incredibly cute and sweet.)

The Studio. {Photography Studio | Minneapolis-St. Paul, Burnsville, MN}

When my business expanded to include studio space last fall, I never dreamed how much I would love it.  I feel like I ended up in the perfect place for me and for my clients.

The photography studio in Burnsville, MN is a really special, unique little spot.  There is a room for natural light photography - and I love using that space for a homey, lifestyle feeling.  The studio light shooting bay is large, and it is ideal for creating simple or dramatic looks.  I spend a lot of time in that room with my headshot clients.  And right out back is a beautiful field and wooded area.  The light out there is divine at sunset, and to be able to step right out there at the end of a studio session is a special joy for me.  As if that weren't enough, the location is right in Burnsville's Heart of the City neighborhood - a darling urban area.  The variety of looks I can get in a single session is so gratifying.  My clients seem to enjoy that.  (They - and I! - also enjoy the free parking and the easy-to-find location right off I-35W.)

When a Minnesota winter is in full swing, I never have to worry about having a place to work.  That is an amazing feeling.

Here are a few pictures of the space:

And here are some pictures I've done in and around the studio since last fall.

I can't wait to find more to do in and around the studio!
