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.
I met Jordan and his mom back in May, when I photographed Jordan in Minneapolis. Jordan gave me the biggest, most genuine smiles during his session, and, of course, I always like to get some images of children with more contemplative looks, as well. I thought he looked like a little model, his outfit was perfect (got to love the hat).
The last image was just for fun, loved the texture in the wall behind him and the distortion from the wide angle lens.
If this family looks familiar to you, it’s because I’ve had the privilege of photographing them multiple times over the past few years, beginning when little Claire, the youngest sister, was just several weeks old. So fun to watch them grow! I photographed Anna, Claire and their parents in Dundas (next to Northfield) and the girls were very entertaining, poking each other, dancing around, and then acting, I think, like the ledge they were sitting on was a roller coaster. Thank you for letting me photograph your family again!
Okay, so Will isn’t a baby I’d classify as wild – in fact, he seems like a very laid-back little guy, but it sounded cute. And he surely is cute – he had just figured out how to make himself mobile in the days before our session at my Burnsville studio, so I had to work quickly to photograph him before he tried to take off!
Love the outtake at the end, I had to share it!
