About Salina J Photography
Hi! My name is Salina, and I am a photographer working in the Minneapolis/St. Paul and southern Minnesota areas. I enjoy meeting new people, and luckily for me, my profession allows me to do that every week, whether I am photographing a newborn, baby, child, family or creating senior pictures. This blog showcases my recent photography, and will help you get to know me and my style of portraits a little better. I am based out of Northfield, but work on-location throughout the Twin Cities (and beyond) or in my studio in Burnsville. I work with my clients to choose the right locations, times and wardrobe pieces to ensure their portraits are beautiful and true reflections of who they are.
This set of cousins (three in one family, two in the other) came to my studio in Burnsville with the goal of getting some group portraits for their grandma. Five kids age six and younger? No problem. Of course, we did have to have an emergency lollipop break after interest in looking at the camera started to wane. But lollipops are never a problem, either!
The first two images I photographed using studio lighting, and the last was with the natural light streaming in through the windows.
I am looking for some people to model the weekend of July 15-17. You do not need to be a professional model, just someone who is comfortable in front of the camera. I would prefer children aged 6 and older who will be able to take direction well, teens, and young adults.
If you are interested and would like more details, please send an email to salina@salinajphotography.com with a few clear photos, as well as your age or the age of your children, and your availability that weekend.
I have so enjoyed watching little miss Avery grow up. Each time I see her she’s learned new things. As with previous sessions, I photographed Avery in her home, which I love to do because I think when her parents look back on these images they’ll remember the details of their house when their girls were young.
Of course, had to get a quick portrait of sweet Bailey in her room. She very patiently waited until I was done photographing her baby sister, then requested I take some photographs of her, as well. I took only two, the one I’m sharing was the first, and I just adore it.
Look at sweet little Claire! Love her expressions in these, like she’s just quietly regarding me and the camera. These were taken in my Burnsville studio, using natural light (a softer look than my studio lighting provides) with a gray background. So happy to have had you in the studio, Claire!
