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.

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!

Wild Will – Lakeville, Minnesota Baby Photographer

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Okay, so Will isn’t a baby I’d classify as wild – in fact, he seems like a very laid-back little guy, but it sounded cute. And he surely is cute – he had just figured out how to make himself mobile in the days before our session at my Burnsville studio, so I had to work quickly to photograph him before he tried to take off!

Love the outtake at the end, I had to share it!

Cousins and Lollipops – Twin Cities, Minnesota Family Photographer

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

This set of cousins (three in one family, two in the other) came to my studio in Burnsville with the goal of getting some group portraits for their grandma. Five kids age six and younger? No problem. Of course, we did have to have an emergency lollipop break after interest in looking at the camera started to wane. But lollipops are never a problem, either!

The first two images I photographed using studio lighting, and the last was with the natural light streaming in through the windows.

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.
