From Concept ...to Creation
A photography experience like no other
where every detail is tailored to reflect your unique story.
Kick off the conversation
It starts with a phone call or video chat to get to know your senior. We’ll talk about style, personality, inspiration, and vision so the session reflects exactly who they are, not a one size fits all idea of senior pictures.
This is where your senior portrait experience begins.
In-Home fashion and planning Consultation
Every senior experience starts with thoughtful planning. I’ll come to your home to help style outfits, finalize session details, and plan artwork intentionally for your space.
This step sets the tone so your senior walks into their session feeling confident, prepared, and supported.
The Photoshoot
On session day, everything is already taken care of. Locations are scouted, styling is set, and your senior is fully guided throughout the session.
Locations are selected intentionally to match your senior’s personality, whether that means urban environments, natural spaces across the Twin Cities, or a fully controlled studio session designed for dramatic, editorial imagery.
Just relax, have fun, and let me direct the experience so your senior feels confident, comfortable, and completely themselves.
Just relax, have fun, and let me guide you through the session while you feel confident and beautiful.
Viewing & Design Appointment
About a week after the session, we’ll meet to view your finished images and design your final artwork. From digital collections to albums and wall art, everything is selected and customized with intention for how you want these portraits to live in your home.

Voices of Our Clients
Hear from those who’ve embraced the art of their story and experienced the magic firsthand.
"I loved the process and attention for my kid and I LOVE how well the portraits capture him as a person."
"The experience of having my Minneapolis son's senior portraits done was amazing start to finish! Megan has such an artistic eye and was able to capture my son's personality. She met with us and got his vibe (a little goofy, a little nerdy, urban, cool teen) and the portraits she made with him were exactly that!! She was very easy to communicate with and kept the energy up during the photo session. I loved the process and attention for my kid and I LOVE how well the portraits capture him as a person."

If you are here reading the reviews, then I know you are wanting something rare. Megan provides this. She captured our girl in this moment of her life and we are so pleased."

"She made me feel completely at ease and created a fun enjoyable session. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful."
I had an amazing experience working with Megan Engeseth Photography for my book cover shoot! She was fantastic to work with—attentive to all my concerns, made me feel completely at ease, and created a fun and enjoyable session. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend Megan for anyone looking for a professional and creative photographer!
- Wendy Benning
The resulting photos more than met my professional needs and, most importantly, captured me in a way that I felt was authentic. So pleased!
I’d highly recommend Megan! I’d never had professional work headshots taken, and realized it was time to upgrade from the 8+ year-old cropped photo ... Megan made me feel relaxed and comfortable during our photo session, and had a great eye for color to complement my attire selections. The makeup artist was fabulous, too. The resulting photos more than met my professional needs and, most importantly, captured me in a way that I felt was authentic. So pleased!
