Senior Portrait Photography Como Park | Gray

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Como Park Senior Photos

I had the chance to work with Gray for a senior portrait session at Como Park – one of my favorite places! The day arrived with beautiful sun and clear skies, although a bit chilly since it was early spring. Luckily, Como Park looks amazing at any time of year, so we had plenty of great spots to capture amazing photos. Gray’s aunt Stephanie was a great helper holding lights and getting some great laughs out of Gray at the perfect times. We even had a beautiful sunset to cap off Gray’s awesome portrait session.

Once we were finished, I invited Gray’s family out to my St Paul studio to show them the final “best-of-the-best” photos from Gray’s day. We chose through their favorites and found some awesome choices. They settled on an heirloom box of matted fine art prints – with some prints to keep and some to gift to family – to treasure forever. I cannot wait to see them in person when they arrive from Graphistudio in Italy.

Thank You!

Thank you, Gray, for choosing to work with me for your senior portraits. I had so much fun working with you and your family, and I am so happy that you love your photographs. And Gray, best of luck with your future endeavors!

Make sure to take a look at some of my other senior portrait sessions I photographed too: Willow River Falls, Como Park, Hidden Falls Regional Park, Stillwater, Guthrie Theater, Mill Ruins Park, Maple Grove Arboretum, Cathedral Hill, Lyndale Peace Park, Silver Lake, Father Hennepin Bluffs Park, North Loop, Cathedral Hill, Loring Park, Long Lake Regional Park, Loring Park, Stone Arch Bridge, Mill City Museum.

Como Sunken Garden Proposal Photos | Sam + Robyn

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Como Park Conservatory Proposal Photography

I received a call one afternoon from Sam. He lived in North Carolina, and he and his girlfriend Robyn were planning to travel to Minnesota in December to visit with Sam’s extended family. While on their trip, he planned to propose to Robyn, and he loved the Como Conservatory Sunken Garden venue. I was so excited to work with them!

Sam decided to bring Robyn to the Conservatory before they headed out to dinner in Minneapolis. I was there early, and when they arrived, I pretended to be a random person photographing flowers. Sam walked Robyn to the end of the Sunken Garden and proposed at the top of the landing. Robyn was shocked! She stood with mouth agape for quite awhile, then reached over and gave Sam a big kiss! They were so adorable! They finally turned toward me and I yelled out “surprise!” and we all had a good laugh. We then had extra time afterward for more photos of them inside the Sunken Garden, and then headed outdoors for some photos along the grounds of Como Park before they headed off to their celebratory dinner.

Thank You!

Sam + Robyn, thank you so much for working with me for your beautiful proposal photography! I had so much fun working with you, and I wish you the best in your new life together!

If you would love to capture Como Conservatory proposal photography, contact me soon!

BONUS: Be sure to check out some other proposals I photographed at Como Park too, including a spring Como proposal, a summer Como Park proposal, another spring Como Park proposal, and an autumn Conservatory proposal.

Baby Family Studio Photography | Schierman Family

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Baby Photographer St Paul MN

Amanda gave me a call one day – she and her husband Scott just had their first baby, Harlowe, a few months ago, and they wanted some family photos and artwork to capture this amazing time in their lives. It was perfect to celebrate the beginnings of their adorable little family!

Baby Photography MN

Amanda, Scott and baby Harlowe came out to my studio one morning. Harlowe was dressed in the most adorable green velvet dress along with a beautiful flower crown! She was a pretty curious about the studio and all the crazy props and equipment, and was very cooperative with mommy and daddy. She was being so adorable, including showing off how much she loved rubbing her face in her daddy’s beard!

After their session (and Harlowe’s nap) they returned to my studio so they could review the photos from their session and choose their favorites. They ended up with a beautiful Graphistudio photo album of their session, along with a few matted fine art prints of their favorites. They are so gorgeous!

Thank You!

Thank you, Schierman family, for working with me for your baby photography. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your Graphistudio photographs and photo album!

If you’d like to work together for your family and baby photography, give me a call or send me an email soon!

BONUS: Make sure to take a look at other studio baby and family sessions I have photographed, including the Archbold family, the Ford family, the Kelly family, the Ludvigsen family, the Huntwork family, another Huntwork family session, the Gravel family, and the Kelzer family.

Extended Family Studio Photography | Sewich Family

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Family Photographer St Paul MN

I received a call from Jessica one afternoon. Her mother- and -father-in-law were celebrating their 50th anniversary, and she and her husband wanted to gift them with an extended family portrait session and wall art to adorn their home. What an amazing gift! So I would be photographing their mother and father, Jessica and her husband, along with her husband’s brother and his wife and kids too.

Extended Family Photography

The day arrived and they all came into my St Paul photo studio. I captured photos of the whole extended family together, as well as each individual family grouping, and even the kids alone too. They were great sports and had fun, and were amazed at how quickly the entire process happened.

After their session, several of them stayed behind to choose their favorite photos and then select their favorite wall art. They loved their pictures! They ended up with a gorgeous Graphistudio wall art collage of five photos along with a few shelf blocks featuring a few other favorite photos.

Thank You!

Thank you, Sewich family, for working with me for your extended family photography. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your photographs and wall art!

Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Wedding Photos | Marcie + David

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

MN Landscape Arboretum Wedding Photography

Marcie + David were another of my wedding couples who had a delay due to the Covid pandemic. Autumn 2021 ended up being their moment, and their MN Landscape Arboretum wedding day was absolutely beautiful! They began their day by prepping in different rooms in the Snyder building. Once they were ready, they held their first look near the waterfall behind the building. Afterward we drove down the Three Mile Drive, capturing portraits of the two of them together, until we ended up at the Grass Garden where they would have their ceremony.

Snyder Auditorium Wedding Reception

Once their ceremony and group portraits were complete, we headed back to the Snyder building for cocktail hour. Marcie + Dave began dinner with an amazing choreographed dance! Then everyone enjoyed dinner and toasts, and then followed up with a hilarious shoe game. After the laughs, they then danced the night away with family and friends.

Thank You!

Marcie + Dave, thank you so much for working with me for your beautiful wedding photography! It was so wonderful working with you on your big day. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Millennium Hotel Minneapolis Wedding Photos | Emily + Ben

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Millennium Hotel Wedding Photography

Emily + Ben had rescheduled their wedding several times due to the Covid pandemic. They finally decided to take the plunge in fall 2021. They chose the Millennium Hotel for it’s spectacular views, as well as fun photography venues nearby (Westminster Church and Loring Greenway). They had such a wonderful day, everything went perfectly!

Millennium Hotel Minneapolis Reception

Emily + Ben prepped in the hotel suites. We held their first look in the Millennium dome. Afterward, we headed over to Westminster Church to use their Trinity Staircase and Art Glass Room for portraits. After that, we headed down to the Loring Greenway and Nicollet Mall for wedding party photos. We then ran back up to the Millennium Dome for a first look with their families as well as family portraits. After that was time for the big event!

Once Emily + Ben’s ceremony was complete, it was on the the cocktail hour, and then dinner. Afterward was cake cutting and toasts, and then on to dancing! Emily and Ben surprised their guests with an amazing choreographed dance routine, as well as the hilarious Cat Toss (instead of bouquet toss!) They followed that up with the fun shoe game, and then danced the night away with family and friends!

Thank You!

Emily + Ben, thank you so much for working with me for your spectacular wedding photography! It was so wonderful working with you on your big day. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Bearpath Golf Club Wedding Photos | Rachel + Andrew

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Bearpath Golf Club Wedding Photography

Rachel + Andrew live near Rochester MN, so they looked for a location that would be convenient for family and friends from both the Twin Cities as well as Southern Minnesota. They settled on Bearpath Golf & Country Club. I had never photographed a wedding there before, but I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was!

Their day arrived with perfect autumn weather. The prepped at the golf club, then held their first look outside in the beautiful grounds. Andrew was a puddle of tears when he first saw Rachel – they were so adorable! Once we finished, we moved on to photos of the two of them alone, as well as their wedding party and families. Then it was on to the wedding ceremony.

Bearpath Country Club Reception Photography

Once their ceremony (complete with tree planting to signify their love of nature) was complete, we headed inside to their reception. Everything was amazing, from the tasty dinner, to the ice sculpture that honored their dogs. After their hilarious shoe game, they danced the night away with family and friends!

Thank You!

Rachel + Andrew, thank you so much for working with me for your spectacular wedding photography! It was so wonderful working with you on your big day. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

Family + Baby Studio Photos | Archbold Family

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Family Photographer St Paul MN

Diane and her husband Nick had just welcomed their third child into the family and were busy with three little ones under three. Diane gave me a call one day because they wanted to celebrate their newly completed family with their first big family photo to adorn their home. It was a perfect time to celebrate the beginnings of their adorable little family!

Family Photography MN

The five of them came out to my studio one November day. The kiddos were so cute – very happy and cooperative. They had clearly been practicing their best “cheese” looks, and gave me lots of big smiles. It was so fun working with them! I think my favorite point was the “tickle fight” where they all had the biggest smiles and laughs!

After their session, Nick took the kiddos home for naps so Diane and I could review the photos from their session and she could choose her favorites. They ended up with their five favorite photos featured on a beautiful Graphistudio acrylic wall art collage. It is so gorgeous!

Thank You!

Thank you, Archbold family, for working with me for your family photography. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your photographs and stunning wall art!

If you’d like to work together for your family and baby photography, give me a call or send me an email soon!

BONUS: Make sure to take a look at other studio baby and family sessions I have photographed, including the Ford family, the Schierman family, the Kelly family, the Ludvigsen family, the Huntwork family, another Huntwork family session, the Gravel family, and the Kelzer family.

Saint Paul Cathedral Wedding Photos | Angela + Ryland

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Cathedral of Saint Paul Wedding Photography

Angela + Ryland had a beautiful early September Cathedral of Saint Paul wedding. That should stop you in your tracks right there, because this is one of the most stunning, jaw-dropping churches in the state! I could get lost inside photographing its splendor.

Their big day dawned absolutely perfect. They both prepped at different hotels so they would not accidentally run into each other before the big event. We met up on the front steps of the Cathedral itself to have their first look. They were so excited to see each other! And they appreciated their venue as well, and wanted their first look, as well as a giant post-ceremony guest photo, on the impressive front steps right below the amazing architecture.

Como Lakeside Pavilion Reception

After their ceremony and altar photos, we headed over to Como Park’s Lakeside Pavilion for Angela + Ryland’s reception. We started with photos outside near the beautiful waterfall and greenery. The reception room itself was set for dinner and dancing, and Angela had custom-painted all of the Norwegian decor featured throughout, including the table numbers and signage, as well as the traditional Norwegian kransekake gift box featured on the cake table. They were amazing! After dinner and toasts, Angela + Ryland had their first dance, and then danced the night away with their family and friends.

Thank You!

Angela + Ryland, thank you so much for working with me for your beautiful wedding photography! It was so wonderful working with you on your big day. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

North Garden Elopement Photos | Catheryn + Ezekiel

By Joanna Carina Leave a Comment

Como Park Conservatory Proposal Photography

Catheryn + Ezekiel were engaged and had been planning to have an outdoor backyard wedding during the Covid pandemic. They waited and watched to see how to pandemic would unfold. Finally they decided they were just too nervous to have a wedding with a number of traveling friends and relatives risking illness. So they decided to elope! They chose to work with Leslie of Charmed Petites Wedding to arrange the elopement as well as be their officiant. They chose Como Park due to its small size, the gorgeous venue, and their love of plants. (Ezekiel’s grandfather had owned a garden store – how cool is that?)

Catheryn + Ezekiel arrived at Como Park in a limousine one autumn afternoon. We headed indoors to the Conservatory’s North Garden for their ceremony. They first started by live-streaming their closest relatives so they could attend without being there in-person or needing to travel. Their ceremony was short and sweet, and they were married! Afterward, we captured more photos in the North Garden, especially near the Allspice plant as an homage to Ezekiel’s grandfather. We also had a little extra time for photos outside to capture the beautiful building before they headed off to their Davidson Hotel weekend celebration.

Thank You!

Catheryn + Ezekiel, thank you so much for working with me for your beautiful elopement photography! I had so much fun working with you, and I wish you the best in your new life together!

If you would love to capture Como Conservatory wedding or elopement photography, contact me soon!

BONUS: Be sure to take a look at a few other weddings I photographed at Como Park, including rainy day Como Conservatory wedding photos, summertime Sunken Garden wedding photos, an evening Como Conservatory wedding, a Covered Porch wedding, an early autumn Conservatory wedding, another summer Conservatory wedding, another autumn Sunken Garden wedding, another summer Conservatory wedding, and another autumn Conservatory wedding.
