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.

Elena – St. Louis Park, MN Senior Portraits

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

First, I am having some technical difficulties involving a lack of internet access for my primary computer and the issues resulting from not being able to install certain software on it because of no internet access. Won’t bore you with all the details, but it’s making me a little behind schedule, so this blog post is light on portraits!

This is Elena – we found a gorgeous spot just as we were leaving the area where I photographed her for her senior pictures in Minneapolis. A great way to end a wonderful session!

Keeler – Northfield, MN Photographer

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

In July I had the opportunity to participate in a mentorship with David Hofmann, a photographer working in Los Angeles.  He flew to Minnesota and we worked with many models in a weekend so that I could learn some new ways to use light, as well as learn how to use a particular photo editing software to its full potential.

Keeler was one of the models we had in the Burnsville studio. We used only natural light, which I think just highlighted Keeler’s natural beauty!

Love the one of her laughing, in particular, I’m always thrilled to capture such a real moment!

Baby Annabelle – Northfield, Minnesota Newborn Photographer

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Meet little Annabelle, first baby to parents Brooke and Jeremy. She was only six days old when I drove to their home for her newborn photography session. Annabelle was perfectly content to sleep and be snuggled. Love the way her nursery is decorated, the bright colors really make it a fun room!

And one of Annabelle’s room!

Julia – Minnesota Newborn Baby Photographer

Friday, August 12th, 2011

I photographed Julia when she was 11 days old. She was so content and alert, just taking everything in! She is the first baby for her parents, who didn’t know whether they were having a boy or girl before her birth. Toward the end of the session we were able to capture a few sweet, sleepy newborn images.
