The {wow} event | Maris Ehlers Photography

{wow}. 

What is a {wow} session by Maris Ehlers Photography? 

It is an opportunity to celebrate who you are, today.  At your very best.  A pampering, private photo session where we will make you look your absolute best, and capture you on film.  

Perfect for a gift for your significant other, or yes, even yourself.   Just in time for the holidays. 

This year {wow} sessions return for a limited engagement, and we are hosting a {wow} event at the beautiful Westin Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.  With complimentary valet parking and champagne, each private session begins with a professional makeup application, perfect for print by the fabulous MJ Evans.  

Each hour long session uses the Westin's gorgeous suites as a backdrop for one of a kind, luxuious and beautiful imagery.  You can bring up to three outfits, and we can help you plan your looks.  From fun, flirtatious, sexy to boudoir, we can create the perfect imagery for the perfect gift.  

Receive a complimentary mini accordian album from your session with your booking, and 2 professionally edited digital files.  

Now Booking BFF Photo Sessions for Girls! | Maris Ehlers Photography

Alrighty, then!  Many of you already saw the video on facebook of a fun, last minute session we did this weekend with my daughter and her "BFF" Kailee.  I had no idea it would be so much fun, that the girls would enjoy it as much as they did, and that people who follow my work would respond in such a positive way! 

I had considered doing sessions last fall with some tween girls and friends, but my schedule had filled up and I set the idea aside.  When my daughter suggested it for her and her friend while we were out doing some shopping, I thought "why not?"  We scoured through some clothing options and posted some snapshots of what they would be wearing.  

As soon as I posted the first image this morning, and the video after, the emails and messages started coming in.  Totally unexpected, but admittedly very pleasing to know that an idea has resonance with people who follow my work.  

Here's the video if you'd like to watch it:
