Get the tissues ready! This is a glimpse at a photo session by Monda Goette Photography featuring Kayla, along with her sister in a heartwarming tribute senior photo session with their late father's Harley-Davidson motorcycle. A session like this was a first for me, but it was so powerful, so emotional, so meaningful. I apologize now if anyone gets teary-eyed, because I know that I did a few times. Congratulations to Kayla on her high school graduation.

The Monda Goette Photography 2016 high school senior portrait season is off to a great start, with special thanks to my Class of 2016 Model Team Members! Next up on the blog is Hunter from South St. Paul Secondary. My home town alma mater. A great community, a wonderful education system, great people. Click to read more!

Check out this "secret" family portrait session from fall 2014! Two sisters, along with their husbands and children gathered on a chilly Saturday morning to create some special memories to give as a Christmas gift for their mom!  I think one of my most favorite parts of this family photo session were the many little Angry Bird characters that the two younger boys had brought with them to play with. You will see that the Angry Bird toys also got in a few photos, too! It made the boys happy to have their favorite play toys involved in their photo shoot. It made me happy that I could capture the boys as they were goofy with their different Angry Bird characters. An impromptu family pile-up was also part of our fun morning. This group clearly loves to be around each other and have a great time! I feel very lucky to have spent time with them!
