I’m offering completely free individual portrait sessions for anyone interested in updating their photos or simply experiencing a professional-style shoot—no hidden fees, no strings attached. Please note: these sessions are for individual portraits only (not couples, families, or group photos). Photography is something I truly enjoy, especially capturing portraits that feel genuine and timeless. Since I already work a full-time job and earn some additional income through stock photography, I don’t feel the need to charge for these sessions—I offer them because I love the process. Tips are never required, though if you are extremely insistent, they can be accepted.
Each session lasts about an hour and will take place in or near Princeton, MN, at an agreed-upon location. Sessions are open to individuals 18+, or high school students with signed parental consent (with the parent/guardian present during the shoot). Please plan to arrive on time and treat the session as a professional photoshoot rather than a casual hangout—I put care and attention into every shoot, and I ask the same respect in return.
All participants will be required to sign a simple model release, granting permission for select images to be shared on my website or portfolio. In exchange, you’ll receive a personal gallery of edited images, delivered digitally within 2–5 weeks, depending on overall workload. Sessions are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Each individual is eligible for one complimentary 1-hour portrait session.
Availability is limited, so I encourage early booking to secure your preferred date and time.
Booking your portrait session is simple. Start by heading to the booking page and selecting one of the available dates and times that works best for you. When reserving your spot, you’ll be asked to complete a short form with your basic details—this helps me prepare for your shoot and ensures everything runs smoothly.
Once your booking is submitted, I’ll reach out to you by email to confirm your session. At that time, we’ll go over possible location options in or near Princeton, MN, so we can choose a great setting. I’ll also provide any additional information you may need and answer any questions you might have in advance, so you feel fully prepared.
Please note that spots are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and sessions are reserved only after the booking form is completed. If something comes up and you can’t make your appointment, I ask that you notify me as soon as possible so your time slot can be made available to someone else.
By taking a few minutes to complete the booking process and provide accurate information, you’ll help make sure the session runs smoothly—and that we can focus on creating portraits you’ll truly enjoy.
Feel free to use the contact form below and I will follow up with you via EMAIL.
Yes! These sessions are completely free of charge. Tips are never required, though you may offer one if you feel really strongly about it.
In the event of bad weather (heavy rain, snow, or conditions that make outdoor shooting unsafe or impractical), we will reschedule your session to the nearest available date that works for both of us.
Yes, all participants must sign a model release before the session. High school students under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a separate release and be present for the session.
No, these sessions are for individual portraits only. This ensures that we can focus entirely on creating high-quality, professional images for you.
Each session lasts approximately 1 hour. Please arrive on time so we can make the most of the session.
Edited galleries are typically delivered within 2–5 weeks, depending on overall workload.
I love shooting portraits and already earn income from my full-time job and stock photography, so I don’t need to charge. These sessions let me create portraits I enjoy while giving you professional images.
Absolutely! These sessions are a great way for seniors to get professional, individual portraits for graduation announcements, social media, or personal keepsakes. (Parent / Guardian release form needed if under 18.)
You’ll receive a digital gallery of edited images, typically between 20–40 images depending on the session length and variety of shots.
I recommend smart, put-together outfits—think nice dresses, button-ups, or dressy casual looks. Solid colors and simple patterns work best and keep the focus on you. Avoid overly casual clothes or big logos so your portraits feel timeless and polished.
Sessions are generally in or near Princeton, MN. If you have a special location in mind, please contact me to discuss logistics.
We’ll adapt the session to avoid distractions, choosing less crowded areas or adjusting angles for clean, professional-looking portraits.
