Senior Portraits in Maple Grove

Finding the right senior portrait photographer in Maple Grove, 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 Maple Grove and the surrounding communities of Plymouth, Osseo, and Rogers. 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.

Maple Grove is one of the most in-demand senior portrait markets in the northwest metro. Elm Creek Park Reserve is right in the backyard, offering hundreds of acres of trails, open fields, and beautiful natural light at golden hour. The suburb's clean streetscapes and upscale neighborhoods also give us a polished, put-together backdrop for seniors who want something a little more refined than a natural outdoor look.

What to Expect From Your Maple Grove 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 Maple Grove 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.
