Belle Plaine Senior Portrait Photographer | The proper technique for “wind in your hair” picture amazingness…

You’ve all seen it. Fashion magazines with tall, lanky models looking like they are standing in the storm of the century but with PERFECTLY PLACED flowing hair (too much for any normal person) and an expression that could kill. Hello awesome. (aaaaand by awesome I mean total photo magic.) How is it done, you ask? Keep on reading…

BUT before we get to that I of COURSE need to give this girl some cred. Meet Megan Engeseth Photography Senior Model- Kylee Jo! Kylee Jo is the FIRST feature of MANY on my most amazing models of the Class of 2015 that get to be part of something HUGE to celebrate their final year in high school. As your Belle Plaine Senior portrait photographer, I’m thrilled to showcase her! Discover why I am the go-to Belle Plaine Senior portrait photographer for capturing unforgettable moments. As a dedicated Belle Plaine Senior portrait photographer, I ensure each session is unique and tailored to reflect the personality of the senior in front of my lens.

Why Choose a Belle Plaine Senior Portrait Photographer for Your Session?

Kylee Jo is from Belle Plaine High School BUT is currently taking classes at Mankato State…because she’s so freak’n smart.

As a Belle Plaine Senior portrait photographer, I take pride in my ability to capture the essence and spirit of each senior during their session.

When you choose me as your Belle Plaine Senior portrait photographer, you’re not just getting photos; you’re getting an experience designed to make you shine.

Let’s list off a few awesome things about her to embarrass her. 1. She’s a dancer. AND had hip surgery but always dances like no one is watching. 2. She has a crested gecko named Bean. I kinda want to have a playdate with Bean. 3. She has a self-proclaimed dress obsession and finally 4. She makes the best damn pizza ever (again, self-proclaimed…but now I’m craving pizza).

Wind in your hair teaser!

Ok-I’ll give away a few secrets. Some photographers use HUGE INDUSTRIAL sized fans that make your eyes water and your skin flap to create these beautiful blowing locks!

Me? A little ingenuity, an assistant and photoshop really help! My assistant uses a small round reflector to gust the wind lightly up at the senior to blow the hair up and out while I snap a bazillion images to get THE PERFECT expression. And guess what? I then use photoshop to swap faces and add in hair to make the perfect, model blowing effect!! Ta da!

Why photoshop faces? BECAUSE MY SENIORS ARE LAUGHING THEIR BUTTS OFF THE ENTIRE TIME… It’s pretty fun…

As a Belle Plaine Senior portrait photographer, I create a relaxed environment where you can truly be yourself.

Every photo I take as a Belle Plaine Senior portrait photographer is crafted with care, ensuring that your personality shines through.

Experience the distinct difference of working with a Belle Plaine Senior portrait photographer who values creativity and individuality in each session.
