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.

New, Bigger Studio in Burnsville! Twin Cities, MN Photographer

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Last year I opened a studio space in a great building in Burnsville (it’s just off of 35W/13/Nicollet, near Skateville and Grand Slam). At the end of 2011 two new spaces opened up in the same building, so the owners opened up a wall between them and made it into one huge, gorgeous studio, and I’m so excited to finally share the photos with you! The building has a parking lot, and an elevator in case you’re coming to the studio armed with many children or a stroller. The big skylights overlook 35W as it winds toward downtown Minneapolis, and the sun glinting off the skyscrapers as the sun goes down is a beautiful sight.

I still love to hold sessions on location (I am based in Northfield but travel all over the Twin Cities for sessions ), but having the space to use studio lighting, and a space for sessions during the cold winter months has been invaluable, and I’m so glad I’m able to offer this option to my clients.

This week I will be posting a special to celebrate the new studio, so check back!

2011 Portraits in Review – Twin Cities, MN Photographer

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Salina J Photography had an amazing year, thanks to my wonderful clients. I had more sessions than ever, with considerably more high school senior portraits done, which I loved! I had sessions in Northfield, of course (where I am based), in Burnsville (where my studio is located), but also as far south as Lake City, Minnesota, as far west as Carver, as far north as Maple Grove and White Bear Lake, and as far east as St. Paul.

I wanted to include at least one image from every client I photographed in 2011 in a slideshow video. I couldn’t pare it down any more than I already did. Most of these are client favorites, the ones they ordered and shared with their friends a family members.

Thank you for a great year, I’m looking forward to many fun changes in 2012, including a new website and blog, new marketing materials, new opportunities and better collection options.

Models Needed – Minneapolis, MN Photographer

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

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.
