Maura {Twin Cities, Minneapolis, St. Paul Minnesota} Senior Portrait Photographer Emily Charais Photography

Maura.

She is a kind, genuine, smart girl with a great sense of humor.  Maura is a soccer player for Anoka Senior High.  We had a really fun session recently at my studio in North Loop downtown Minneapolis.  It’s really special for me when I get a senior in my studio that is just so natural and comfortable with herself.  The portraits I get are just so serene when that happens, and I couldn’t be happier with this entire session because Maura was such a gem.  Please enjoy Maura’s senior pictures!  I do have session availability for this fall still, so book your own senior or family session soon!

I absolutely love working with teens and dancers.  I am a kid at heart and understand this age group so much, and that makes our sessions so much fun and relaxed.  I respect their individuality, and am so passionate about creating senior, teen, and dance portraits that really highlight who they really are.  I spend a lot of time during their session getting to know them, and gearing their session toward their specific personalities.  My clients tend to be the smartest, driven, most talented teens in the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area (no, I am not biased).  I have photographed concert violinists, artists, actors, scholars, ballerina’s, and pianists.  My clients like to travel the world.  My clients seek me out to have senior and teen portraits that not only highlight their talents, but are classic and cerebral like they are.  I really *get* who these teens are, and want to show the world how amazing they are!  I am so proud of my unique client base, and enjoy getting to know each one of them personally, and seeing them grow into really amazing people!
