Senior Portraits in Blaine

Finding the right senior portrait photographer in Blaine, MN means finding someone who knows the area, knows the light, and knows how to work with a high schooler who may have never been photographed professionally before. That's exactly what Steve Lunden Photography brings to every session.

I'm based in Coon Rapids, which puts me right in your backyard. I regularly shoot sessions in Blaine and the surrounding communities of Coon Rapids, Spring Lake Park, and Fridley. When you book, you're getting someone who knows where the light hits at golden hour and which parks offer the best variety of backgrounds.

Blaine is one of the larger northwest suburbs and has a solid mix of open park space and suburban streetscapes that photograph really well. The area around the National Sports Center gives us clean, wide-open backgrounds with great sky, and the residential neighborhoods throughout Blaine offer a natural, relaxed look that works especially well for seniors who want something low-key and genuine rather than a formal studio feel.

What to Expect From Your Blaine Senior Session

After you book, I reach out to plan your session together. We'll talk locations, outfit ideas, and the overall vibe you want. Sporty, editorial, outdoorsy, urban, I build the session around your personality, not a cookie-cutter formula.

On session day, I bring Godox AD200 portable strobes for professional off-camera lighting regardless of conditions. Overcast sky, harsh midday sun, a shaded trail, it doesn't matter. You'll get beautifully lit, polished images either way.

Every session also includes a drone aerial portrait via DJI Mavic Air 2. It's one of the most unique things a senior portrait session in Blaine can include, and it's a standard part of every package at no extra charge.

After the session, your hand-edited gallery is delivered within 7 to 10 business days. Full resolution, no watermarks, full print rights.
