To all of my incredible 2024 clients,

As this eventful year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. It has been such an honor to celebrate so many milestones with you—from senior grad sessions to wedding days and everything in between. This year has been filled with countless special moments, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of them.

One of the greatest joys of being a photographer is watching families grow and documenting the memories that mean the most. Thank you for trusting me to capture these moments, it truly means the world to me.

Cheers to an amazing 2024! Here’s to even more milestones, celebrations, and unforgettable moments in 2025. I can’t wait to see what’s in store!

Warmest regards,

Andy

Parents of upcoming seniors… Although I am sure many of you wish this moment could be delayed, it’s time to get your soon to be grad’s senior photos on the books! 🎓👏🏻

Meet Cole - a class of 2025 senior from the Twin Cities area who requested a destination shoot that captures his unique spirit, and a location he has many memories growing up. From the stunning backdrops of the North Shore of MN, to being in a relaxing & comfortable location of his family’s cabin… Cole’s interests and personality were painted all of his session. After all, your child’s senior photos are supposed to reflect who they are during this exciting phase of life!

Whether it’s the city streets or a scenic getaway, I’d love to talk more with you about how we can make your child’s vision and ideas for their senior session come to life.

Send me an email at [email protected] or fill out the contact form on my website ASAP to get your hands on the best session dates possible. 📸

When your couple is down to sneak away for some golden hour photos! >>>

There’s something truly magical about golden hour on a wedding day. The soft glow, the perfect light, and the love that fills the air. As a wedding photographer, it’s the moment when everything feels just right! 🙌🏻

Ryan and Sherri had one of the top 10 golden hours of my career! Everything aligned, and I just had to share some photos from this magical evening.

Are you a fan of golden hours or sunsets? Share with me below in the comments and don’t forget to hit that like button! 🧡🌅

There’s nothing like embracing the winter magic with the ones who matter most. ❄️🙌🏻 I may be a little biased, but I believe that family memories are made even more special through the lens of a camera! 😉

The holidays are such a special time of year, so why not add to the fun and plan a family photo shoot? These photos are great for Christmas cards and also a fun way to document your family’s growth as you prepare to step into the new year together.

ASP also offers ✨ MINI SESSIONS ✨ So message me before our availability runs out and let’s get your Christmas session on the books!

Last week, we talked about ASP’s senior session What to Wear Guide, so for this , we’re throwing out a few tips specifically for our senior guys!👇🏻
⁣⁣
1️⃣ VARIETY: Tyler here did a GREAT job at this! Swipe through the photos above to see! If you plan on wearing a t-shirt and jeans for one look, mix it up and wear a nice suit for the other look! Having a combination of different styles in your images really comes in handy when it’s time to design your grad cards!⁣

2️⃣ SOCKS: This may seem silly, but it’s a biggie! Make sure you have proper socks for each of your outfits. During certain poses such as sitting down, the socks are very noticeable. The last thing we would want is for you to be looking all dapper in your suit and then all of a sudden you realize you’re wearing a pair of old nike socks that don’t compliment the rest of the look.

3️⃣ INCORPORATE WHO YOU ARE: Your images are a reflection of who you are in this time of your life, so for example, if you’re super involved with high school sports, consider wearing your football jersey for one of your looks, bring a basketball along to shoot with, or even your letterman jacket! ⁣Tyler plays the trumpet, so of course we had to incorporate it into a few shots! 🎺

We know choosing your outfits for your session can feel a bit overwhelming so be at ease knowing that when you book with us, we’ll assist you every step of the way! 👏🏻⁣

Class of 2025, our availability is already dwindling and soon we’ll be switching gears to start booking class of 2026! 😳 Email me at [email protected] ASAP to find out our remaining availability!

Happy ! This week I’m highlighting this Class of 2025 senior, Ephraim! And let me tell ya, his session was FUN! We shot at some really cool locations and… let’s just say a pretty unique prop was also used! SWIPE to see! 👉🏻⁣

Between making maple syrup in the spring and enjoying time outside during the summer, we found a great location to ensure we included his hobbies and who he is. We adventured out to @‌BeaverCreekReserve, where you can find a variety of scenery that was perfect for what Ephraim was looking for as his summertime job is keeping Beave Creek looking its best.

Choosing a unique location for your senior pictures helps to tell your story as well as adds a personal touch to your portraits. Whether it’s the family farm or a cozy café, the right setting can transform your session into something truly unforgettable.

Thank you for letting me be your senior photog, Ephraim! Everyone wish him an amazing senior year in the comments! 🎉

If you’re wanting to pick a spot that reflects who you are for your senior session, let’s DM and chat some more and make your dream photo shoot happen! 🙌🏻

There is so much beauty in having an intimate wedding. 🧡 Michael and Marisol decided to celebrate their special day with those who are closest to them by having a simple, yet tasteful ceremony at the court house.

Weddings such as these are becoming more and more popular, and we are here for it! ⁣Whether it’s a small backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement, more couples have been leaning towards these types of unions and keeping things simple.

If you and your soon-to-be spouse are leaning towards having a more intimate wedding as well, but are struggling with narrowing down the guest list, ask yourselves these questions:

💍 How close are we BOTH to this person?

💍 Would we feel comfortable spending time with this person outside of the wedding?

💍 Will this person play an active role in our lives in the future?

💍 Do we feel obligated to invite this person or are we only inviting them because our families wish it?

💍 Does this person make us happy and bring us joy or do they inflict negative emotions?

💍 Would this person contribute positively to the atmosphere?

💍 Will this person support and encourage us throughout our marriage?

✨ SAVE ✨ this post so that you can come back to these questions when it’s time to prepare your guest list. Married couples... any other questions you’d add to the list? Drop your advice below!

Stylized business portraits, a/k/a professional headshots, are more than just the average picture. Your business portraits communicate your personal brand. Yep. The face of your small business, your company or as an entrepreneur is all about YOU as a person.

Here at ASP, we take pride in producing professional business headshots that successfully convey your expertise and professionalism.

If any of these 5 signs spoke to you, send us an email or fill out our contact form via our website to get in touch and let’s chat about booking you a professional portrait session! 📸

Happy to this class of 2025 soon to be grad! 🎓

Teagan loves to listen to music, all things in the ocean, animals and science!

When Teagan was little she wanted to be a veterinarian or zoo keeper due to her love of animals, and even after all these years, that dream still holds true as she hopes to have a career that involves animals after high school.

Thanks for choosing me to document this exciting milestone, Teagan! Wishing you all the best on your senior year and beyond! 👏🏻

Chilly crisp air, colorful leaves, all the creamy neutral tones - what more could a photographer ask for?! 🍂👏🏻 Fall sessions are a hot commodity around here and my availability always dwindles quickly!

Here’s 3 reasons why fall sessions are a fav every year:👇🏻

1️⃣ • The Weather: it’s usually not too hot and not too cold. You won’t have to worry about sweating off makeup from the heat or shivering from the freezing cold... it’s usually just about right.⁣

2️⃣ • Fall Fashion: for those of you who love sweaters, cardigans, boots, and all things layered, then this is the perfect opportunity for you to showcase your style! Why not shoot in the season that you feel most fashionably comfortable in!?

3️⃣ • The Fall Colors: there’s nothing like it when fall is in full effect, all of the beautiful leaves covering the ground and in the trees, being able to play with the leaves and throw them up in the air makes for some amazing shots!

If you’ve been dreaming of a fall engagement session, or even simply a couple’s session, this is your sign to do it! I only have a couple of dates still open in my calendar this season so don’t wait to email me at [email protected]!

One of the best parts about my job is all of the wonderful clients I’ve met over the years. 🧡

I have photographed the Halvorson family several times now, and even photographed Chris and Amy’s wedding! I am so grateful and honored that they keep coming back to ASP! Whether I’ve photographed you once, or several times, thank you for trusting me in capturing a special moment in your life.

If you are looking for a photographer who cares not only about how good the photos turn out, but also building relationships with clients, and giving you a full experience - send me a DM! I’d love to talk more about your portrait photography needs! 👏🏻

P.S. Head to my stories for a little peek of the Halvorson’s from over the years!

When your senior wants to light things on fire, you light things on fire! 🔥

Taylor showed up to her session ready to have some fun! We lit an arrow on fire as well as a softball and the photos turned out pretty cool in my opinion! 🙌🏻

Taylor is passionate about family and sports. In addition to archery and softball, she rides snowmobiles, jet skis, and hunts! In fact, her favorite part about high school has been the sports.

After high school, she hopes to do lots of traveling and plans on becoming an anesthesiologist.

Happy , Taylor! I hope your senior year is all you dreamed of! 🎓

5 TIPS FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY! 💍

After photographing many weddings… and I do mean MANY, I’ve picked up on a few things!

So I thought I’d share 5 of my biggest tips for having a successful wedding day:

• Schedule Extra Time: Build a buffer into your timeline for getting ready, photos, and transitions between events. This helps keep stress levels down and ensures you have time to relax and enjoy the day.

• Personal Touches: Incorporate small, meaningful details that represent your relationship. Whether it’s custom vows, a signature drink, or a special song, these touches make the day feel uniquely yours.

• Stay Hydrated & Eat: Amid the excitement, it’s easy to forget to drink water or eat. Arrange for snacks and drinks to keep your energy up, so you’re feeling your best throughout the day.

• Delegate & Trust Your Vendors: You’ve put in the work, now it’s time to let go. Trust your vendors to do their jobs, and delegate responsibilities to family or the wedding party so you can focus on enjoying your day!

• Seating: Instead of your family sitting on “your side” have them sit on the opposite side of the aisle, so they’re able to see your face and not just your back!⁣
Trust me, these tips will help to create a more relaxed, and enjoyable wedding day for all who are involved!

All my photog friends or married couples, have anything else to add to the list?! Drop your tips in the comments!👇🏻

Family photo season is upon us! So here are 3 tips for having a SUCCESSFUL family session with little ones!👇🏻

1. Be very intentional with the timeframe you choose to book:

If your kiddos are still at the age where they need a daily nap, make sure to schedule your family photos around nap time. You know your children best, so if they’re super happy before nap time and tend to be grumpy when they wake up, plan the shoot for before. If they get sleepy and whiney beforehand, then plan for after so that they can show up refreshed and in a good mood for pictures!

2. Be prepared for the weather:

Fall/winter sessions are popular for photo shoots due to holiday cards being a tradition for many! So plan their outfits accordingly! We don’t want anyone getting too chilly and ending up with a runny nose! In which case, bring along tissues just incase! We wouldn’t want you to dirty your sleeves wiping away the boogers. 🤪

3. Bribery is sometimes necessary:

Make sure your kiddos are well fed beforehand, but ALWAYS pack extra snacks and some treats your kid(s) will love! This will work as an incentive if need be when it comes to smiling, posing, and looking at the camera! Maybe even mention that you’ll go get ice cream afterwards if they’re on their best behavior. 😉

The ASP team does everything that we can to ensure that family sessions run as smooth as possible, so if we work together as a team, we’re sure it will all turn out great! Head to the blog post linked below for a really good BONUS tip! 👏🏻
