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.

Divine Fall Colors and Light – Lakeville, MN Family Photographer

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Ah, I love when I get to photograph the same family over and over again! Nora, Isaac and Ella came to Northfield for their fall portraits, and their mom gets high marks for their incredible wardrobe. We were lucky to have warm temperatures, gorgeous fall color, and incredible light filtering through the leaves.

It’s not too late to have YOUR family photographed for fall. It may only be October, but holiday card deadlines are around the corner. Contact me at 612-229-3129 to book one of my last remaining fall dates for family portraits!

Avery at One Year – Northfield, MN Photographer

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

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!

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!

A Field of Daisies – Burnsville, MN Senior Pictures

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

Senior portraits are among my favorite sessions to photograph – the soon-to-be-seniors always look incredible and are excited about their pictures. When I arrived at Kenzie’s (Chanhassen High School class of 2012)  house and she and her mom informed me they had a field of wildflowers, I was even happier. What an amazing setting! And Kenzie was a natural in front of the camera, she’s got a great sense of humor and a gorgeous smile. Best of luck to her as she starts her senior year!
