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.

Mia – Minnesota Spring Mini Photography Sessions

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Mia was another adorable client from the mini sessions held at Fine Threads in Northfield. She loved the baby chicks I brought to entertain the children – she made sure they made it into a few of her portraits, as well!

Photographers at Play – Downtown Northfield

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

At the end of August I met up with a group of professional and amateur photographers for a low-key get-together. Our dear models put on their best smiles in the heat and we took them around downtown Northfield, Minnesota for some images. If you are considering booking a fall mini portrait session and wondered what the images might look like – all of these images were taken in locations we’ll be able to use the day of your mini session!

Here are just a few of my favorites from the afternoon of shooting.

Mini-Sessions are here! Northfield, Lakeville and Faribault Photographer

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

I am so excited to offer mini-sessions this year! Mini sessions are great for clients who need to update their family portraits for the holidays, or clients who are perhaps trying custom photography for the first time and want a smaller investment of time and money. Discounts on sessions and products like this are RARE, and the mini sessions on October 9 are LIMITED in number, so book today!

UPDATE HERE (digital package option now added)!!

Salina J Photography is helping Fine Threads celebrate their grand opening on Saturday, October 9 by offering 20-minute mini-sessions in beautiful downtown Northfield.

For only $150 (a savings of $80!) you will receive a 20-minute session in downtown Northfield (photos will be outdoors unless it rains; in case of rain I will be photographing inside Fine Threads). Your session will result in at least five images to proof in a gallery within two weeks of your sitting, and from those you may choose one 8×10 and two 5×7 prints. You’ll also receive 25 flat, two-sided holiday cards, web-sized versions of all ordered images to share on Facebook or on blogs, and a discount on additional a la carte purchases. And as if that’s not enough, Fine Threads is giving each mini-session client coupons good for $10.00 off a purchase of $50.00-$74.99, $15.00 off a purchase of $75.00-$99.99, or $20.00 off a purchase of $100.00.

Mini sessions will only be offered on this date for 2010!

Here are a few images of a beautiful 10-week old model in some absolutely adorable outfits you’ll find at Fine Threads!

I Love the Minnesota State Fair

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

There, I said it. Though if you know me, it’s not exactly a secret.

I love the crowds, the colors, the animals, the rides, the lights at night, and yes, I love the food. One year I hunted all over for the new s’more on a stick. Yet another year we tried chocolate-covered bacon. You can’t make this stuff up.

The Minnesota State Fair starts in two days, and I have two, maybe three trips planned.

Oh yes, I will see it all.

Below are just a few photos I took at the fair in 2008, I won’t bombard you with too many. I was unable to go last year, but this year I am going to a concert and have a photo shoot planned one night, which I am super excited about. And I am hoping we’ll get to bring the kids one day, too. They’re looking forward to the butterfly house, the big slide and cotton candy.

I will definitely have some more portraits and photographs to share this time around. See you at the fair!

I love this one – just a crowd shot, but the guy walking down the way looks like he’s strutting for the cover of an album (er, iTunes picture?), the sun flare shining down and it almost looks like he’s on his own.

Can you guess what this is? A deep-fried candy bar (Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, to be exact). Those have got to be good for you.

Two years ago I saw Brandi Carlile in concert at a free stage at the fair. At the time I sort of knew who she was, but after seeing her live I became a true fan. Great show. I’m no concert photographer, but it was a fun challenge to take photos in the constantly changing stage lights. Brandi has made the big time in Minnesota this year, and will be playing the Grandstand.

Stay tuned, I’ve got images from a senior portrait session and a toddler-and-mommy session coming up soon!

Also, I’ll be making an announcement soon about MINI SESSIONS. Get excited, they’re going to be awesome!
