Studio Family Photography St Paul | Irish Family

Family Photographer St Paul MN

If you want studio family photography, you deserve an experience that is both elevated and personal. In my Vandalia Tower studio, I specialize in creating refined family portraits that celebrate connection, legacy, and the beauty of your everyday moments together. Studio family photography offers a timeless, distraction-free setting where your family’s personalities shine, allowing me to craft polished, heirloom-quality photographs that feel both modern and enduring. These St Paul studio family portraits were thoughtfully designed to highlight authentic connection while delivering artwork that will live beautifully in any home for generations.

Studio Family Photography MN

The Irish family wanted to capture photos of them together once their two older children were home during their college winter break. We spent a little time rummaging through my studio’s “client closet” and even found some fun velvet jackets for the boys to play with. We captured a great variety of fun-loving photos as well as the five of them (and daughter’s fiancee in a few too) for some great portraits that will last forever.

When the session was finished, the family chose their favorites at my St Paul studio and ordered a gorgeous Heirloom Print Box filled with fine art prints they can cherish forever.

Thank You!

Kathy contacted me one day looking for a photographer to capture her extended family. We talked through her ideas and decided on a photoshoot at Como Park. The shoot included her and her husband, their two adult children and their spouses, as well as their three grandchildren. They had not had family photos done in quite a few years and were excited to update their photos and fill their home with portraits.

We met up at Como Park for the photoshoot on a beautiful summer morning. The weather was perfect – sunny and warm and the kiddos were cracking jokes and hamming it up. I captured photos of the whole extended family together, as well as other various groupings of each individual family as well as the kids with their grandparents. They all had fun and were amazed at how quickly the entire process occurred.

After their session, several of them visited my nearby photo studio 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 fine art prints from the session.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
