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!

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!



First Family Portraits – Northfield, MN Photographer

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

When Deb contacted me about family portraits, she said it would be the first time a photographer captured their family, children and parents together. You may recognized the middle girl, Emma, from a previous session I did using off-camera flash. Such a photogenic bunch! Deb also wanted me to create some portraits of their youngest daughter, Olivia, for her third birthday. We took these at the very end of fall, I love the richness of the color in the grasses and trees behind them. Every season in Minnesota offers a great variety in backgrounds – that’s one of the things I love most about doing on-location sessions!

What’s Black and White and Cute All Over? Minneapolis/St. Paul Photographer

Monday, December 20th, 2010

This is the third and final entry of my triple-family-session day. Like the other two families with portraits that day, I loved how mom Chiloe styled everyone’s clothes! The black, white and gray theme really brought the focus to their faces. Daughters Skylar and Sarah were excited to tell me about the party they were hosting that weekend, and show me the giant pumpkin they helped grow (seen here).

I thought their family portrait was so fun – the laughing and the genuine smiles are what I aimed to capture. And please, do not adjust your monitors – these girls really do have eyes that amazing!
