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.
Before the first snowfall of the winter, I met up with Andrea and Ryan in Northfield to take their engagement portraits. Andrea and Ryan are getting married in San Diego next month, and I’m so excited to be photographing their wedding, as well! Their love was evident that night we had their session. Best wishes for a long and happy marriage, Andrea and Ryan!
I had the pleasure of photographing Kera and Andy’s engagement portraits a few weeks ago at the Heart of the City in Burnsville. Kera and Andy are having a warm-weather destination wedding in January but wanted portraits done in their hometown before the big day. Andy’s children also came along and joined in for some family photographs, as well as some of just the kids.
This session was so much fun (the last shot of the night – last here in the blog post, as well – I’m pretty sure we were all cracking up because it was almost completely dark out and I had a camera in their face as they leaned in for a kiss. Not exactly the most romantic moment, but they made it look natural)! After the sun went down we took a little break and then came back for some more dramatically-lit night time shots. I told Kera and Andy later that my favorite thing about so many of their images was the way they looked at each other – their love came through loud and clear.
