I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Jennifer through the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce, where she holds the position of Executive Director. After seeing some of the images from my Limited Edition sessions, she decided it would be fun to book a session for her and her boyfriend Ray. So after some gentle persuasion Ray gave in to the idea, under one condition….he could wear his hat in some of the images I’d say that’s some good negotiating, for both parties!

The day of the shoot turned out to be a sunny, semi-decent Saturday (which were few and far between this year!). The morning was nice a sunny but then a light layer of clouds rolled in for the early afternoon shoot, creating fantastic lighting. Good timing Mother Nature! We trucked around Axdahl’s Garden Farm, doing some of the standard posed shots and some fun action shots as well. Oh and you can’t forget our rendition of American Gothic that Jennifer and Ray acted out in the barn. What a fun session!

Here are some of my favorite images from this Limited Edition session and stop by my Facebook Page to see some more! Thanks Jennifer and Ray for coming out for the session. And a big thanks to Ray for humoring us and taking his hat off for a few of the images!

Despite all the increase in workload, I LOVE senior season! I love meeting the teens, learning all about them, and finding new, fun and exciting places to photograph them. Places that really capture who they are. When I met with Amanda to discuss what she was looking for in her senior photos, she said she didn’t really want to do the urban scene but did want photos outdoors. Since a couple of her other friends had recently come in and wanted nature/outdoor/etc. I wanted to find something different for her. A couple months ago I had photographed a house for Cates Fine Homes here in Stillwater which was located in a newer development in Bayport. I remember there being a bike path through some tall grassy, prairie like area. I knew that would be a good location, especially at the time of day Amanda was coming in, but I also wanted to find some bright colorful flowers. Washington Park provided the perfect blend of colorful flowers that created a fabulous background. I knew while I was photographing Amanda that her images were going to turn out awesome…and I was right!!! Did I mention that I love my job?!

I decided it was about time to update the look and feel of the Kristina Lynn Photography & Design blog…so here it is! I’m VERY excited about the changes to the look and can’t wait to start getting some great new images up you to look at. While you are here, take the time to leave me a comment if you wish. I love hearing feedback from friends, peers, and clients (current and future ones of course!). And if you’d like to stay on top of what is new in the world of the studio, make sure to subscribe to the blog so you can get the latest updates as they are posted.

Stay tuned for some new posts in the upcoming days! Thanks for stopping by!
