Personal Brand Headshot Photography | Melissa Dundis

By Joanna Carina

MN Fine Art Portrait Photography

I received an email from Melissa Dundis, who had recently started her new job as a DJ for Minnesota Public Radio’s classical music station. She inquired about working together for her personal brand portraits and headshots. We talked more, and she had tons of awesome ideas for her photos (even including her sweet little turtle, Roger!) I was so excited about working together! The worldwide pandemic was heading our way, so we were luckily able to squeeze in Melissa’s session before shutting down the studio for Minnesota’s mandated social isolation quarantine.

Headshot Branding Photography

Melissa and I planned out a ton of fun ideas. We ended up capturing a wide variety of portraits, including a few headshots as well as portraits featuring her with a microphone, headphones, her guitar, her writing journal, and her pet turtle Roger. (He was so cute and a very perfect model for her portraits too!) I was even able to take some extra time to create a storybook theme of Melissa and Roger together stepping into a fairy tale world – it was so much fun!

Thank You!

Thank you, Melissa, for choosing to work with me as your fine art studio portrait photographer. I had so much fun working with you (and Roger!), and I am so happy that you loved your photographs.

Also be sure to take a look at some of my other fine art portraits, portrait photography and personal brand photography too! If you’d like to work together for your personal portrait or headshot photography, contact me soon!

Fine Art Portrait Studio Photography | Antonio

By Joanna Carina

MN Fine Art Portrait Photography

I met Antonio a few years ago when he was married. I had the honor of photographing his wedding, and I had so much fun getting to know him and Chris. They had an absolutely spectacular Landmark Center wedding day. So naturally, I was ecstatic when Antonio contacted me asking about personal portraits for his website a few years later. I loved the idea, and I was so excited to work with him again!

Headshot Branding Photography

We started Antonio’s session with a few quick headshots for his main job website, LinkedIn profile, etc. We then moved on to capturing several fine art portraits of Antonio for his clothing website. He represents a very stylish men’s clothing line, so having stunning portrait photography in their modern wardrobe was important. We were able to capture some casual as well as more formal options.

After his session, Antonio came back to my studio for his Cinematic Presentation and Design Consultation to view his portrait gallery. He was so happy with his photos! He had a tough time choosing his favorites, but ended up with several options. They worked out perfectly for his website, job, LinkedIn, etc.

Thank You!

Thank you, Antonio, for choosing to work with me as your fine art studio portrait photographer. I had so much fun working with you (and seeing Chris again too!), and I am so happy that you loved your photographs.

Take a look at some other fine art portraits, portrait photography and personal brand photography I’ve done too! If you’d like to work together for your personal portrait or headshot photography, contact me soon!

Professional Headshot Photography | Sykora & Santini

By Joanna Carina

Minneapolis Professional Headshot Photography

Jayne Sykora, one half of the law firm Sykora & Santini, first contacted me several years ago. She and her partner, Jennifer Santini, needed some design projects created. With my upstart design business, we were a perfect fit! Once I switched over to full-time at my photography business, I started taking their headshots for use on their website. Jayne recently let me know that she was hoping to update their headshots soon. With my new studio, it was perfect timing! They needed images for their law firm website showing the two of them together on the home page, as well as showing each of them alone on their bio page.

Professional Headshots

We scheduled their session in my studio on a cold, wintery January day. I had previously coached them on bringing in a variety of wardrobe options that could work great together. They did not disappoint! They each brought a number of awesome outfits and combos, so we spent some time coordinating them and figuring out what worked best for each of them.

That morning, after they worked with my amazing hair and makeup artist, they were ready for their photos. We spent some time with both Jayne and Jen alone in a variety of backdrops, sets and outfits. We also made sure to photograph the two of them together. I always love working with Jayne and Jen. They are so fun to talk to, as well as easygoing and down-to-earth. We always have fun chatting up a storm!

Thank You

Thanks again for working with me on your professional headshots, Jayne and Jen – I always wish you the best of luck on your ever-growing business, and can’t wait to work with you again soon!

If you need headshot or branding photography, contact me soon to find out how we could work together!
