Extended Family Studio Photos | Olson Family

By Joanna Carina

Family Photographer St Paul MN

Jen gave me a call one afternoon looking to capture five generations of family together in one photoshoot. What an honor! I was so excited to capture her with her mother and grandmother, as well as her sons, daughter-in-law and her new granddaughter. Several of them were visiting from out of town, so some would be meeting the newest family member for the first time!

The day arrived and they all visited my St Paul photo studio for the photoshoot. I captured photos of the whole extended family together, as well as other various groupings. They were great sports and had fun, and were amazed at how quickly the entire process occurred.

After their session, several of them stayed behind to choose their favorite photos and then select their favorite artwork. They loved their pictures! They ended up with a gorgeous heirloom Print Box filled with their favorite photos from the session.

Thank You!

Thank you, Olson 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!

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

BONUS: Make sure to take a look at other extended family sessions I have photographed too, including studio extended family photos, Como Park extended family photos, another Como extended family session, an Apple Valley extended family photoshoot, Centennial Lakes extended family photoshoot, another studio extended family portrait session, and a Hmong extended family traditional dress portrait session.

Minnesota Family Photographer | Otos Family

By Joanna Carina

MN Family Photography

After I worked with the Otos family for their daughter’s senior photos, they decided they wanted to capture family photos as well since they did not have any recent photos of them to cherish. We decided to work together at Como Park on a beautiful autumn afternoon.

Como Park Family Photographer

The day arrived and the whole family was so excited. They all were smiles and laughs and had so much fun. They were cracking jokes and everyone was on the verge of being silly. We even captured photos of them together in their sunglasses, fitting along with their hilarious sense of humor.

After their session, the Otos family visited my St Paul photo studio to review the “best-of-the-best” photos. They narrowed down to their favorite photos from their session, both the four of them together as well as a few of the kids together. We created two beautiful wall art collections to adorn their walls.

Thank You!

Thank you, Otos family, for working with me as your family portrait photographer. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your wall art!

Family Portrait Photographer MN | Matti Family

By Joanna Carina

MN Family Photographer

I was planning to work with the Matti family for their son Logan’s senior photos. I offered to add on family portraits during Logan’s session in case they wanted to consider family photos too, and they loved the idea! They also loved the idea of capturing their photos at Hidden Falls Regional Park since they loved being near the water.

Hidden Falls Park Family Photography

The day arrived and the whole family was so excited. They all were smiles and laughs and had so much fun. We worked near Hidden Falls itself for some photos, and also captured additional photos near the river and in the woods. They were great sports and were up for everything.

After their session, the Matti family visited my St Paul photo studio to review the “best-of-the-best” photos. They narrowed down to their favorite photos from their session, both the four of them together as well as a few of the kiddos together and parents together. We created a beautiful wall art collection to adorn their walls.

Thank You!

Family Photographers Minneapolis | Dowdal Family

By Joanna Carina

MN Family Photographer

Catherine and Matthew wanted to fill their home with the life and love of family portrait artwork. They had seen some of my options online and they loved them! They wanted to capture the kiddos at this stage of life before they grew and the memories faded. They were hoping for a large centerpiece in their living room, over the sofa.

Como Park Family Photography

The day arrived and the whole family was so excited. The kiddos brought along their favorite stuffies for some portraits too. They all were smiles and laughs and had so much fun, especially when we had the kiddos playing together, chasing each other around and even spinning in circles together. The kiddos were also excited to catch some portraits with their favorite stuffies too.

After their session, the Dowdals visited my St Paul photo studio to review the “best-of-the-best” photos. They narrowed down to their favorite photos from their session, both the four of them together as well as a few of the kiddos together and with their stuffies. We created a beautiful wall art collection to adorn their walls, as well as a few extra prints for frames of the kids.

Thank You!

Thank you, Dowdal family, for working with me as your family portrait photographer. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your wall art and prints!

Family Photographers MN | Baker Family

By Joanna Carina

MN Family Photography

The Baker family contacted me one spring day – they were hoping to capture photos of their family and create some beautiful heirloom wall artwork for their home. Their kiddos were 7 and 5 and they had not had professional photos taken before. We talked through ideas, and even talked about capturing the kiddos with their favorite stuffies to hold on to these precious memories forever. We talked through locations and options and settled on a photoshoot in early summer at Como Park. I couldn’t wait!

Como Park Family Photos

The day arrived and the whole family was so excited. The two kiddos brought along their lovies for some portraits too – Bunny Buns and Mommy Puppy. They all were smiles and laughs and had so much fun, even the kiddos were excited for their favorite stuffies to have some photographic attention!

After their session, the Bakers visited my St Paul photo studio to review the “best-of-the-best” photos. They narrowed down to their favorite photos from their session, both the four of them together as well as a few of the kiddos together and with their stuffies. We created a beautiful triptych to adorn their walls, as well as a few extra prints for frames of the kids with their stuffies.

Minneapolis Family Photographers | Bina Family

By Joanna Carina

MN Family Photography

Lindsey contacted me one afternoon about working with her family for their family portraits. They loved the idea of the gorgeous gardens, trees and grounds of Como Park as their backdrop. We settled on an autumn session so as to capture some fall color in the plants and trees. As usual, Como Park was the perfect location for their photos, and they had a wonderful time.

Como Park Family Photos

The whole family were great sports that day. Their two kiddos were 5 and 3 years old. The kiddos were a little nervous at first, but after being able to run around the Como Park grounds for a bit, they were so excited and wanted to keep going. It was hard to get them to stop!

After their session, the Binas visited my St Paul photo studio to see the photos from their family session. They chose their favorite photos, both the four of them together as well as a few of the kiddos having fun, and ordered a set of beautiful fine art prints for their walls.

Thank You!

Family Photographers Minneapolis MN | Ojo-Fati Family

By Joanna Carina

MN Family Photography

Susan + Tolu chose to work with me for their family photos one beautiful early autumn day. We met up at Como Park, and I was then introduced to their two kiddos, Nia and Jayden. Wow, were those two adorable! The kiddos were a little shy at first, but once we got them running around, they couldn’t stop smiling and hamming it up for the camera. Jayden just kept smiling away at me nonstop, while Nia kept twirling her dress around and around and giving me cute flirty smiles. They were so stinkin cute!

Como Park Family Photos

The whole family had a great time. We spent some of our time capturing photos of the four of them together. Then we focused on the kiddos together at first, and then we captured some of each of them alone. They had so much fun, and couldn’t seem to get enough of their cute hamming for the camera!

After the session, Susan + Tolu visited my St Paul photo studio to see the “best-of-the-best” from their family session. They chose their favorite photos, both the four of them together as well as a few of the kiddos looking sweet and adorable.

Thank You!

Thank you, Ojo-Fati family, for working with me to capture your beautiful family portraits. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your photos!

The whole family were great sports that day. Their two sons were 6 and 4 years old. The kiddos were a little shy at first, but after racing each other once or twice, they were so excited and wanted to take even more photos again and again. It was hard to get them to stop lol!

Family Portrait Home Photography | Hindes-Quast Family

By Joanna Carina

Family Portrait Photographers

Kate and John hired me to photograph their upcoming wedding. They were both previously married with two children each. So they were going to be joining their families together and wanted to fill their home with portraits of the new group. When it came down to locations for their portrait session, they loved the idea of working at their home in Lakeville.

At-Home Blended Family Photos

Their session arrived and we all had so much fun! We captured them along and in groups around their home, both in their front porch as well as back yard, and then capped it all off with the group on their central stairway. They were getting so silly as they were excited to go out and celebrate the fun with late night ice cream!

After their session, they came out to my studio to choose their favorite photos and artwork. They ended up with an Heirloom Portrait Box of photos and will be scattering them around their home to see themselves together each day.

Thank You!

Thank you, Hindes-Quast family, for working with me for your family portraits. I had so much fun working with you, and I am so happy that you love your artwork!

Studio Extended Family Photography | Raimova Family

By Joanna Carina

Studio Family Photographer

Lola contacted me in July. I had last worked with their family for portraits of them last year when they just had their sixth child, and now he was one year old and they wanted updates. Not to mention, both her mother were in town as well as her grandmother, so they wanted portraits of them all together. I was so excited to work with them again and see their little peanut growing up!

Extended Family Photoshoot

Lola and her family visited me a few weeks later with the whole family in tow. Their little peanut was very cooperative for photos, as well as the rest of the kiddos and family, and they all had a great time. After the session they stayed to choose their favorite photos and decide on their favorite artwork for the current session. Last year they chose a portrait box and wall artwork. This year they updated one of the canvases with the updated photo of their little guy, and also chose an album for all the new photos.

Thank You!

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