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!

Christina – Mayo High School Class of 2012 – Minnesota Senior Portraits

Friday, January 20th, 2012

On a blustery but gorgeous fall day I met Christina, her mom and her sister in the quaint town of Lake City, Minnesota for Christina’s senior portrait session. The wind was a bit of a challenge, but in the end I think the windblown look worked perfectly with Christina’s hair.

We took some of her portraits in the downtown area, then in a park, and lastly at the Lake City Marina. Christina loves to sail, and she wanted to incorporate her passion for it into her photographs.

The collection Christina and her parents ordered includes a slideshow with some of their favorites, so I added that after the images. Enjoy the rest of your senior year, Christina!

Baby Parker, One Week Old – Lakeville Newborn Photographer

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Here are some images from little Parker’s newborn session. He was a fabulously laid-back baby. His parents woke him for his first portraits, he ate, and then he calmly looked around the room while we took some awake photos. One quick meal for him later and he was snoozing, so I was able to make some great images of him sleeping. Love this little man!

He’s looking a bit like the infant version of Rodin’s The Thinker here.
