Senior Photographer Minneapolis MN | Jazmyn

Stillwater Cave Senior Pictures

Jazmyn’s mom contacted me one afternoon about Jazmyn’s senior photos, and I was so excited. I had just worked with Jazmyn’s older sister Mackenzie a year before for her senior photos, and now it was her sister’s turn. I couldn’t wait to work with her too!

Stillwater Senior Photographer

Jazmyn decided on capturing her photos at the Stillwater Cave and St Croix Boom Site once she saw a few examples in my web gallery. And she included their sweet doggie Tucker just like Mackenzie did too! Jazmyn had a few different outfit options chosen, and we spent a bit of time around the cave, in the woods, along the beach and even in the water. Her whole session was a blast, and Tucker enjoyed being a star along with Jazmyn too.

Once Jazmyn’s photos were complete, we met up at my Saint Paul studio to choose their favorite photos. They opted for a beautiful Graphistudio album similar to her sister’s photo album. It was stunning in final form too!

Thank You!

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

Hanna was excited for her senior photo session. She already knew that she wanted her session to take place at the Saint Croix Boom Site, which has been very popular this year for my Minneapolis senior photography! We met there on an autumn afternoon and worked together for an hour or two. Hanna especially loved the Stillwater Cave and the beach trail!

Trans Senior Boy Photography | Zero

By Joanna Carina

LGBTQ+ Senior Photography

Zero’s family talked to me one afternoon about ideas for his senior photoshoot. Zero wanted to encapsulate his love of artwork and his creative side. We decided that Zero’s Minneapolis senior photos would be best taken at his school – both to capture Zero’s artwork and enjoyment of living at the dormitory, as well as just capturing the beautiful grounds of the school itself.

Trans Senior Photography

We met up on a sunny autumn afternoon at Zero’s school. The grounds looked amazing!We worked together for an hour capturing beautiful outdoor nature options of Zero. We then finished up the photoshoot with some photos of Zero and his artwork, both in the drawing room as well as in an exhibition room showing finalized artwork. Zero had an awesome time!

After the photoshoot, Zero and his family visited my St Paul studio to pick out their favorite photos and artwork from the session. They chose a handful of gorgeous matted fine art prints to cherish forever.

Thank You!

Adrianna was a feisty spunky artist. She loved making ceramic creations in her high school pottery class. She also loved the water, and was enthralled with the idea of the cave in Stillwater. I was game for all of it and was so excited to work with her as her Minneapolis Senior Photographer!

Senior Guy Baseball Photos | Logan

By Joanna Carina

Senior Guy Baseball Portraits

Logan had two ideas in mind for his senior portraits. First, he wanted to encapsulate his time as pitcher on the baseball team. Second, he loved the water and wanted to be near that for the rest of his photos. Luckily, since we had the time, we decided to do both!

Hidden Falls Senior Portraits

The day for Logan’s senior portrait session arrived with perfectly sunny skies and temps. We met up in the late afternoon, starting at Cretin-Durham Hall so we could capture some photos of Logan pitching as a member of the baseball team. Once we were finished there, we headed over to Hidden Falls Park to capture additional portraits of Logan (as well as photos of the entire family to create beautiful wall art for their home.)

After Logan’s portrait session, he and his parents reviewed the “best-of-the-best” photos with me in my St Paul photo studio to choose their favorite photos and artwork. They narrowed down to their absolute favorites photos, and then chose a beautiful Graphistudio fine art heirloom photo album to cherish Logan’s senior photos forever.

Carina and her family knew they wanted her senior photos out on the St Croix River in Stillwater. While they lived in the western suburbs of Minneapolis, they spent a lot of time boating on the St Croix, and it had a special place in Carina’s heart. I proposed working over near the Stillwater Cave, and along the St Croix riverfront, and they loved the idea! I was so excited to work with them as their Minneapolis senior photographer!
