Senior portraits don’t have to be basic. At Megan Engeseth Photography, senior photos are cinematic, editorial, and designed to look like they belong in a magazine, not a yearbook.#

This year was a milestone moment. I was contacted by NBC Universal to feature my work on TODAY Sunday Morning, highlighting what I do as a Minnesota senior portrait photographer known for creative, high-end imagery.

The host, producer, and camera crew followed us throughout the day as we created an editorial styled shoot inspired by Vanity Fair Oscars after-party portraits. Yes, it was as surreal (and badass) as it sounds.

Featured on TODAY. A Vanity Fair Inspired Senior Portrait Shoot#

This wasn’t a quick photo op. We built a full creative concept from the ground up and shot two custom sets with designer styling. The goal was simple. Give seniors an experience that feels elevated, fashion-forward, and unforgettable.

• Two custom-built editorial sets
• Designer dresses and tuxedos for a magazine-inspired look
• Guided posing and expression coaching throughout
• Lighting and styling inspired by Vanity Fair style portraiture

If you love fashion, drama, cinematic lighting, or “this looks like a cover” energy, you’ll want to explore my creative senior portraits in Minnesota gallery.

Senior VIP Team Experience | Class of 2018#

My Senior VIP Team for the Class of 2018 didn’t just get photos. They got an experience most seniors never will. VIP team members participated in the styled shoot and had access to professional-level concepts, sets, and styling.

This editorial vibe pairs beautifully with other session styles too, including studio senior portraits, urban senior portraits, and outdoor senior portrait sessions.
