Sioux Falls Wedding and Portrait Photographer~Inspirations Photography from Linda Petersen

Donovan is the son of a good friend and colleague of mine.  His sister Mallorie graduated last year and I was honored to be asked to capture her senior portraits.  I was equally pleased to be able to create some amazing images that I think capture the true personality of Donovan. I spent two afternoons with Donovan. On one, we were lucky enough to have a lovely fall day with a gentle breeze and glorious colors.  On our second afternoon, we met in the studio for some shots.

Here’s a sampling of Donovan’s senior portraits.

Melinda and I had planned to shoot her senior portraits during the winter.  We envisioned  beautiful snow covered grasslands, frosty trees and iced-over ponds.  Winter never really arrived in South Dakota this year, unless you count about 2 or 3 days where we had minor, very minor, snow cover.

We opted instead for Spring.  Lovely green grass, stunning blooming trees, tulips and daffodils, ducks on the pond and a simply beautiful sunny afternoon.

Here are just a few of my favorite shots from our afternoon.
