Senior Portraits at Saint Anthony Main
I recently had the privilege of creating Eddie’s senior portraits at Saint Anthony Main in downtown Minneapolis, MN. And, while we were at it, we slipped a couple of family portraits with his parents, Nikole and Rudy, in there too!

A nice close-up family portrait that I created right along the Mississippi River at Saint Anthony Main.
Eddie is a 2025 senior at the Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield, Minnesota. He’s an entertaining guy to be around, always upbeat, and very engaging in conversation.
Eddie is also a car guy. He already knows more about cars than I ever have or ever will! He’s incredibly proud of his car, a 2017 Subaru WRX. So much so, that we’ve also created a cool light painting of it too! So far, the photography part has been completed. The post-production portion should get going soon so I can share it with you.

I captured this nice image of Eddie and his Subaru WRX on the evening that we created his light painting. We created it while we were waiting for it to get dark enough to light paint the car and the plane.
Eddie had been busy making tweaks and modifications to the car to get it ready for its light painting project (and because he just loves to mess around with the car). In addition to his hot Subaru WRX, there will be a Piper Cherokee airplane in his one-of-a-kind light-painted photograph too!
After his senior pictures at Saint Anthony Main, we headed to the Crystal Airport to scout out locations for the light painting project that was scheduled for a couple of weeks later. I created the image below as we were checking out the aircraft in the hangar. This is just a sneak peek! But, we have many more images with the car and with the plane in the music video found down below.

Here is one of the images I captured of Eddie while we were checking out possible places to light-paint his Subaru with a Piper Cherokee.
Senior Photos in Downtown Minneapolis
Through the years, I’ve created dozens of senior, family, and quite a few wedding photographs at Saint Anthony Main. With beautiful views of the Mississippi River and panoramic views of downtown Minneapolis, it is a very popular location for photography.
This Sunday was no different. While I was creating Eddie’s senior photos we saw several other photographers with seniors, families, and even an engaged couple. As always, I had Lightning McQueen with me to add a little magic to Eddie’s images. His dad captured some cell phone pics of some of the behind-the-scenes action with my custom-built lighting cart.
I’ve put together a music video with some of my favorite images from Eddie’s senior session. Please check it out at the link below. And be sure to check back to see what I’m confident will be an amazing light painting with his Suburu and the airplane!

Here’s one of the images I created while Eddie’s dad was getting behind-the-scenes photos of myself and Lightning McQueen in action.
Eddie’s Music Video
Here’s the music video that I put together with images from Eddie’s senior portraits at Saint Anthony Main, and also taken at the Crystal Airport. Thank you for reading our post and have a great day! – M&J
