Class of 2027 seniors

I’ve officially got senior portrait sessions up on the site.

These are relaxed, personalized sessions built around who you are right now, not overly posed, not overdone.

If you’re starting to think about senior photos, you can take a look here:

If you want early access to booking dates, there’s also a priority list on the seniors page.

Classic Minnesota. ❄☃

Snow in April means Easter Mini Photos Sessions are officially… postponed.

We’re moving sessions to next weekend so we can trade snow boots for something a little more spring-like.

New date: April 12th, 2026

Over the years my work has grown beyond just photography.

I recently launched Haines Studio to support businesses with ongoing visual and digital updates.

If you’ve followed my photography work, you might enjoy seeing where things are going.

A quick note about Haines Studio.

The studio grew out of Haines Photography, which I started more than 15 years ago working with local businesses, schools, and community organizations.

Over time, many clients began asking for help beyond photography — things like keeping website photos updated, organizing media libraries, and maintaining their online profiles.

So the work naturally evolved.

Haines Studio now focuses on ongoing visual and digital support for a small number of local businesses — helping keep their photos, websites, and online presence clear, current, and organized.

If you're curious how it works, I’ve added a link in the first comment.

If you've worked with Haines Photography before and enjoyed the experience, a quick Google review goes a long way for a small local business.

I truly appreciate it. 😀

More snow, eh?

At this rate we might be doing Snow Bunny Sessions instead of Easter Minis. 🐰❄️

The good news is Minnesota weather usually flips the switch fast.

Easter Mini Sessions are just over three weeks away and there are still 2 spots left!

Senior portrait planning is starting, and I’ve set up a page where students and parents can join the early access list for senior sessions.

People on the list will receive session details, pricing, and priority booking access before the calendar opens publicly.

If you know another Class of 2027 family, feel free to share this with them.
