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 Nine Months – Northfield, MN Baby Photographer

Monday, June 13th, 2011

I have so enjoyed watching little miss Avery grow up. Each time I see her she’s learned new things. As with previous sessions, I photographed Avery in her home, which I love to do because I think when her parents look back on these images they’ll remember the details of their house when their girls were young.

Of course, had to get a quick portrait of sweet Bailey in her room. She very patiently waited until I was done photographing her baby sister, then requested I take some photographs of her, as well. I took only two, the one I’m sharing was the first, and I just adore it.

Addison – Nine Days Old – Minneapolis, MN Newborn Photographer

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Addison was born on St. Patrick’s day, and I photographed her newborn portraits nine days later. She wanted her mama to snuggle her more than she wanted to be content for the camera, but toward the end of the session we managed to get some adorable, sleepy poses from her. Big sister Morgan and big brother Zachary joined in for a few photographs in the beginning, too – they are so loving toward their baby sister, it was sweet to watch them interact.

Meet sweet Addison! I am very excited about the canvas her parents ordered, especially – a beautiful 16×20 of the image of Addison in the headband. I will have to share it on my blog once it arrives to show off how amazing it is enlarged.

Sara – Maple Grove 2011 Senior Pictures -Minneapolis, MN

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

I had a great session with Sara, a gorgeous high school senior at Maple Grove Senior High in the northwest suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul. She has been very involved with cross country skiing so our first stop was a chalet for some indoor portraits, and then we headed outdoors for some more very chilly pictures. Sara has the (probably unwelcome) distinction of having the coldest session I’ve ever photographed outdoors. While outside it was -6 degrees. Yes, that is negative six, as in six degrees below zero. But Sara was incredible, she just flashed that beautiful smile no matter what.

Thanks, Sara, for choosing me for your senior portraits, and enjoy the rest of your last year of high school!
