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 have been photographing Avery for a year now, documenting her changes as she grew from a little newborn to a walking toddler! During her one year session we also did a few family images, and then when I photographed Avery for her bed image (which we’ve done at every session) I had big sister Quinlynn help me test the light and the resulting was so lovely I just had to share it with her parents, even if it wasn’t a planned portrait.
So enjoyed seeing you grow, Miss Avery!
Emily saved the day for me during the workshop I participated in back in July. Our scheduled model canceled and Emily was a backup – despite having been outside in the heat that morning (this was the weekend of record temperatures and humidity) she rose to the occasion and came by my studio in Burnsville to smile big for the camera as a photographer I greatly admire, David Hofmann, taught me how to better harness the gorgeous natural light coming into the space.
Thank you, Emily, best of luck during your senior year!
Meet Zoey and her sisters McKenna, Macey and Stella. Is this a gorgeous family or what? Think of all the fun these girls are going to have in the years to come, sharing clothes, supporting each other, giggling late into the evening. I have four children, as well, though three of mine are rough-and-tumble boys, and am always happy to see other families with as many children as we have.
Sweet little Zoey was nearly three weeks old at her newborn session. Love the little hint of a sleepy smile in one, always happy to photograph one of those while capturing a new baby.
