Hello All - I am looking for a photographer (preferably North Metro) to get a yearly family photo taken and photos of our twins (now 18 months). I would probably prefer studio setting and don't necessarily need outdoor. I am looking also for a reasonable price. I live in Blaine, and will travel around the metro, but not way out, etc.
A., My daycare provider goes to Target to get thier photos done. Not all targets have this though. She went to the one in lino lakes. She said they are a reasonable price. I seen the ones they had done of her son at age 1 and age 2. They were really good!!

I highly recommend Meg Gustafson. She has taken many pictures of my daughter and they all turn out great. She does a really great job at capturing her personality. Her website is

Have you checked out the Mom Owned Businesses on this website? I sure there is another mom in your area that has a posted photography business. And you will most likely get a deal as most of the posted businesses offer discounts to other moms on the site.
The photographer that did my wedding was wonderful. She also does family portraits out of her home, but does have a studio set up for it. Her name is Joy Augeson. Her website is augesonphotography.com. And she is located in Andover. I was very very pleased with my photos from her, and with her as a person.
Amy Duffing of 3 Peas Photography does wonderful work. She has multiples of her own and she know what it is like to work with them, to get their different personalilites. Her website is www.3peasphotography.com
I know of a photographer who does amazing work and is really good with children. Her name is Jessica and her website is www.oneswiftclick.com. I believe her studio is in Big Lake (just up Hwy 10), but she does travel for work and would most likely be willing to go where-ever you would like. She could probably do some incredible fall pictures with the leaves just starting to turn! Good luck!

I take both of my kids to Annie Maries in Excelsior. I'm not going to lie....it's not real close but her work is amazing! She has a way of capturing their personality so well. I highly recommend it.....google her website Annie Marie Photography in Excelsior. Good luck and have fun.
Hi A.,
There is actually another Legacy Portrait Studio in Andover, called Legacy Studios. They are in the Clocktower Commons on Hanson. I've used Raquel (of Raquel Strand Photography) three times, now, and she ROCKS! Her photos are beautiful!! (Our family is even on her website. :)) She also has a listing on Mamasource.
We use Mandy Birdwell, although I'm not sure she is what you want. She does lots of location stuff, but does now have a natural light studio in her home. She's also fairly pricey, but she is located in Blaine and wonderful to work with.

I've had a lot of friends use this woman who is in Andover and more reasonably priced:

Good luck!
Hi A.
I have a girlfriend- Anita Jader. She lives in Maplewood but travels. She's done my twin girls since they were one also and I need to make an appt again.
You can give her a call and she can let you know her site and prices- tell her I referred you. ###-###-####

Hi A.,
I have a great photographer to recommend. Her name is Gina and she's located in the Northern metro. She has a studio in NE Minneapolis but she's always done our pictures either in our home (Maple Grove) or outside. She's really great - she's done my belly-shots and our daughters 6 month and 1 year photos. Her prices are also very reasonable. I've included her website along with her phone number below. Good luck!

Thanks,

You can try Clix! in Maple Grove by Arbor Lakes; I've heard that they are resonable.

Hi A.!
We use a photographer in Robbinsdale. He does great work and is reasonably priced. He also has a great set up for indoor or outdoor photos. You can check out his website at www.johnballewphotography.com. Hope this helps.
Good luck!

I am not sure of the price range for portraits, but the photographer who did our wedding was wonderful!! Bruce Challgren, he is in Minneapolis, by Lake Calhoun. www.photopixels.com is his website. I highly recommend him, and he is goofy enough that he should get good smiles from your twins! Good luck!
