Our very last shoot with the Class of 2016 Senior Model Team. They are about to embark on a new quest - life in the real world...beyond graduation. So proud of these soon-to-be graduates. Special thanks to my new Class of 2017 Model Team for helping with a fun sendoff for the 2016 farewell. Read on!

I'm not going to lie. It was cold outside. As a matter of fact, it was freezing for all of us! With an arctic chill in the air, this fun group of seniors (and a junior) from St. Croix Lutheran High School gathered together for a morning of fun and laughter with MN senior photographer Monda Goette Photography. Bundle up, you're going to love the images from this friends group session!

It was a marvelous afternoon in September to capture images of a young boy for his first birthday, along with a fun family photo session. I hadn't seen Trisha and Jon in a while, so meeting up with them again was great - plus I hadn't seen the birthday boy since I took his newborn photos! It was wonderful catching up with this growing family and great friends!
