Minneapolis Senior Portrait Photographer|Minneapolis Senior Portraits

I'm posting more senior portraits from last summer and fall around Minneapolis. These seniors are from Totino Grace, St. Anthony Village, Blaine and Centennial High Schools! I love shooting senior portraits, they are all so unique. I also can't help that I tend to bond a little with the seniors. It is a great experience for them, the hair, the new clothes, some fun locations and poses.
We will be shooting a lot of seniors from the Class of 2012 yet this year, stay tuned!

Let's all get excited about Valentine's Day... Shall we??

















So, I suppose that means I should finish putting away my Christmas decorations then. LOL! Seriously, though, it is a fun time at my Minneapolis Photo Studio, because I get to use some fun elements, bright colors, all things cute and lovey! We also seem to have a lot of recently engaged couples who like to shoot their engagement photos around Valentine's Day. How appropriate. Stay tuned for more of what comes out of the studio in the next couple of weeks as we are getting ready for the most lovable day of the year.

Okay, so aside from lots of editing, ordering, client customer service... here are the other things we have been doing for the last six weeks...


Maintaining an advent calendar



Photographing my own family!! This is my brother getting creamed in the face by his fiancee... ha ha, I don't know why I love this photo so much... maybe because he's my brother... hmmm...



Making teacher gifts...



Baking, of course!



Lots of eating... LOTS, too much!


A "sleigh" ride



setting up hot chocolate bars...


A whole-lotta crafts!



Most of all, a lot of reflecting and efforts to make time stop.



Oh, it was a good one. Hope yours was all of this and more!

Holiday Photos Minneapolis|Minneapolis Children's Photographer

Baby, have we been busy at Joy Orcutt Photography! Too busy to do sneak peeks in fact, but I don't think our clients mind too much. We have been shooting family sessions in the studio, outside in the fall leaves, even outside after the snow came along. Thank you to all of our clients for a fabulous year of Minneapolis family photography! Here is a peek at a session I did just the other day at the NE Minneapolis studio. This little cutie got in the studio just in time to take some cutie pics before the holiday. These are just a couple of the oh so adorable images this family is going to have for their holiday cards we will prepare for them.

Okay, I had a hard time narrowing down this sneak peek, because this lovely lady is quite an expert on posing. Since this wasn't her first time being photographed we both knew she would only have a BILLION senior photos to choose from! I loved this maxi skirt she chose, it really photographed well. Well, I love just about everything she brought! www.joyorcuttphotography.com

I can't help but notice a trend in footwear making its way into a lot of our photo sessions this summer. Its Toms shoes! I've had several seniors bring them in, because they wanted their favorite shoes photographed. Well, I think they certainly love the idea behind Toms, buy a pair and Toms gives a pair to child in Ethiopia, who wouldn't agree with that.
We have even noticed it in our wedding photographer this summer too. A bride even wearing Toms shoes under her wedding gown! Totally comfortable and totally supporting children in need! I have a feeling we will only be seeing more of these shoes as the year goes on.
