Local Photography in Mankato, MN

Portrait, headshot and boudoir photographer based in Minneapolis. Willing to be adventurous and do the research to find the right location and light for a shot and concept. I'm passionate about natural light, and putting folks at ease so I can get their true selves to come through.

We are Dan and Lis Beise, owners of D & L Photography. We are located near the Twin Cities in beautiful Minnesota. I have been a photographer for fifteen years, most of it as a hobby. I began learning photography in high school and gained experience as a photographer for my college yearbook. More recently I have been involved with action photography for the local high school Track & Field, Cross Country, and Varsity Football teams as well as the Marching Band. I also have experience with event photography and Family Portraits. Lis is my wife and partner in the business. Lis does an amazing job of putting clients at ease and bringing out the best expressions in each photo. With experience as an activities director, she is skilled with the ability to connect with people and help them relax and have an enjoyable time. Together we work as a team to bring clients the most enjoyable portrait experience possible. We look forward to partnering with you to create memories that will last for generations.

The Premier headshot Photographer in the Twin Cities. Creating a stunning image that reflects who you are is most important to me. I have over 20 years experience and can make sure you walk away with images better than you ever expected. Whether I'm shooting a single subject, or hundreds of employees, I create a unique and personal photograph that my subjects are proud to show off. Getting my subjects to relax and be their own beautiful selves, and capturing that in photographs are what I strive for.

I am a creative portrait photographer and retoucher/editor and I love to tell stories through imagery. With a keen focus on listening to my clients needs, I go above and beyond to deliver results better than what they expect; dream like pieces of art that can adorn the walls of my clients' home. With a passion for learning and growth, I continuously work on sharpening my skills as a photographer and a creative retoucher. Some of accomplishments include being featured on a number of online magazines as well as my work being selected to be showcased at the MN State Fair 2019. My motto - Change is the only constant. So if you are not growing or improving, you are stagnant or dieing. And neither of those situations are great! So better buck up and start moving towards your dreams and goals - one small step at a time!
