Jayda’s Minneapolis Session

bt — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:37:11 +0000

Last Friday I had a session with Jayda in Minneapolis. We were joined by her parents, her aunt and her dog! What a fun entourage!

The forecast for last Friday had winds gusting to 30 mph! On days like last Friday I earn every nickle! Not only do we need to find places that fit with the clients from a creative standpoint, but there needs to be good light AND stay out of the wind as much as possible. It can be a real mind bender.

I’m so glad that Jayda and her family were up for an adventure. Did we have wind gusts? Absolutely! The outtakes from the session were pretty crazy. But, between the gusts we had some really cool images and Jayda photographed very well.

Thanks so much for a very fun adventure Jayda. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Molly’s Minneapolis Session

bt — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:18:13 +0000

Last week I worked with Molly and her mom on location. I love sessions like Molly’s where we do a little of this and a little of that. Molly wanted to glam it up a little, but also wanted a touch of country. She wanted the skirt and heels, but also wanted to go with jeans and a white tank. Sometimes I imagine being on the other end of the camera. If it were me being photographed I would probably do like Molly and dress up in a bunch and then go with blue jeans, a black t-shirt and a Twins cap.

With Molly, no matter what she wore it worked. She looked just as much at home in heels as she did in shorts or jeans. Pretty cool.

Thanks so much Molly for a fun session, and being patient with the wind.

Abby’s Champlin Senior Session

bt — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:15:07 +0000

On Wednesday I had a session with Abby. At our consultation she talked about how big swimming is in her life. I love when my clients are really passionate about something and want that thing incorporated into their images. For Abby, we started at their home. The steps down to the river were perfect. Once I saw the blue in the pool and the purple top that Abby was wearing, I knew we had a great combo. We also did some things in Minneapolis and then ended at the pool where she trains.

This week has been a great week to be on location. Abby had a spectacular day and she did a great job with her images.

Thanks for a great session Abby,

Alissa’s St.Paul Senior Session

bt — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:13:23 +0000

Earlier this week I had a session with Alissa in St.Paul. For Alissa’s session I wrote down “joyful” in my notes. That really describes what is was like to work with Alissa.We had an absolutely beautiful day to work on location and it was a blast driving around some areas of St.Paul that I haven’t photographed before.

Thank so much Alissa for a great session. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Anna’s Minneapolis Session

bt — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:36:02 +0000

Earlier this week I worked with Anna in Minneapolis. Her mom joined us for the shoot. For Anna’s session, the single most important thing on her list was to have some images with a piano. I listened to Anna play a little bit and if I played that well I would want a piano in my images too!

After the piano images we wanted city textures. She didn’t want stone columns, no glass & steel, she wanted things that were more worn, but not grungy either. I had about 6 locations in mind and wouldn’t you know the wind was crazy that day. Winds were out of the west gusting to 30 mph. With beautiful long blonde hair it made the locations I had chosen ahead of time totally impossible. So, I went into improvisation mode. Lets see….strong winds out of the west, 4:00 PM downtown sun making shadows fall SW to NE…hmmm. In the words of Tim Gunn…”make it work!”

What we came up with I really love. And, lets face it, without some encouragement from the elements I never would have found some really cool new places.

Anna was a great sport through it all. We had a ton of fun together and the images are really special.

Enjoy your sneak peek Anna!

Trygstad Family

bt — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 22:50:09 +0000

I have 4 kids. Beatrice is 11, Sophie is 9, Clara is 6 and Mr.Jack is 5. Bea & Clara take violin lessons at MacPhail Center for Music. It has been really cool to see how their interest in music and their talent on the violin fostered by their teach Linda. My Niece Amanda who graduated from high school this past year also took lessons from Linda when she was 6 years old. So we have know Linda for the better part of 12 years! Our kids love Linda, so this session was very near and dear to my heart.

A year and a half ago Linda became a grandma and this summer she knew she was going to have both grand kids at her place at the same time. I’m pretty sure this was the most excited I’ve ever seen Linda!

With kids, I takes ‘em as I gets ‘em. I basically schedule the session around naps and meals and let the family tell me when the kids will be at their best.

These kids are absolutely beautiful, so photogenic. There are so many great expressions, so many possibilities. Where do we start?

Thanks for a great session Linda & family! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Haylie’s Minneapolis Session - Updated

bt — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 21:00:55 +0000

On Thursday afternoon I had a session with Haylie. This was a follow-up to her April mini-session.

Scroll down and you will see some images created in Minneapolis. The first session was more about brick & mortar, things more gritty. For the second session we added a little nature and some cleaner lines.

Her cousin Katie joined us. Katie was responsible for telling more of her friends about Tice Photography than any other person I’ve worked with. She is nea and dear to my heart and it was great to see her again.

Haylie, thanks so much for a fun session. As always, you photograph so well and are wonderful to work with.

Best wishes,

********************************************************************************************************

On Friday morning I had a session with Haylie in Minneapolis. We were joined by her cousin Katie, who I worked with last summer. We got about 20 minutes into the session and it started to rain. Thunder and lightening followed. It wasn’t the best conditions for hair.

I always have a plan B in case of rain, so we headed to the Minneapolis Post Office down at river level. There is a 2 block long corridor with gray granite columns. There is always north facing light, a great plan B place when if a rain shower comes up.

When we drove to the place, my jaw dropped. Between each column the post office had installed an iron fence. The entire 2-block stretch had been sealed off forever! For any of my past clients who may have visited this location with me, enjoy your images because there won’t be any more like them.

On to plan C. Luckily the rain stopped and we were able to continue. Through the entire thing Haylie was just going with the flow and having a great time. Her hair survived the experience and her images turned out fabulous.

Enjoy your sneak peek Haylie!

Ashley’s Senior Session

bt — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:58:39 +0000

Ashley has 1,900+ friends on Facebook. To say that Ashley is outgoing would be a GROSS understatement!

Before I ever photographed Ashley she had already told 2 of her friends about Tice Photography and those friends booked with me. Unreal!

Ashley is fun, Ashley is bubbly, Ashley is the kind of person you want to call when you’re down for a little pick-me-up.

We photographed in Minnetonka and later headed to Excelsior. I love the lake. For Ashley it was a perfect fit.

Thank you for a great session Ashley! Enjoy your sneak peek.
