Natalie Finazzo | Photographer

If you have been thinking about booking a session now is the time! Visit my web site & click on the SCHEDULE button for current availability. March is booked & I am now booking April & May sessions!

I find that the casual moments between the posed moments tell the true stories of who we really are & it's catching these images on my camera that fuels my passion for photography. 

Colorful & quiet moments, emotion, how the light softens a smile, the anticipation of new parents with a little one on the way, relationships, the tiny features of a newborn, the curiosity of a 6 month old, the exuberance of a 4 year old, the love that a family shares, the independence of a graduating senior, the diversity of actors, & the glamour, simplicity & romance of a wedding...I simply can't get enough of it all!

My passion lies in building relationships with my clients & taking your photographs in creative, artstic ways. It's the art of photography I love, so it is art you will receive!

Minneapolis Newborn Photographer | Cooper

This little guy was up for most of our photoshoot…truthfully so much of the time I get my best newborn pictures in about the last half hour of our session! I think by then I must completely wear out these little ones and Cooper was no exception! And I LOVE this picture of him yawning…every time I look at it I yawn too!

Minneapolis Photographer | Matilda Jane ~ Open House 3/9 @ The Studio

“It makes your day, all day. That is what I want Matilda Jane Clothing to do, make the girl smile from ear to ear. I want her to love what she is wearing and be proud of how she looks. I want Matilda Jane to showcase the sweetness of the child. I try to keep the silhouettes simple for that reason, it’s not about the fancy embroidery, it is about the darling girl wearing it. I want your little girl not to fight with you on what to wear, I want her to be comfortable and I want her to be happy! And that is it.”

I have already said it once and I will say it again…this is EXACTLY why I LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE this clothing so much! If you haven’t heard of Matilda Jane clothing you need to come to our Open House. They even carry pieces for adults! Make sure to save the date: March 9th, 4-6pm, at the Studio…I’m hosting this event with the lovely & talened chrissie marie photographyJen Taylor Photography & we couldn’t be more thrilled to be bringing the opportunity to shop these clothes to you! Kids are welcome and encouraged to come!

Minneapolis Children’s Photographer | Weston & Esther

Lots and lots to edit! Up first these two little dolls! I’m fairly certain Weston & Esther are right around 9 months old in these pictures but I thought the balloons would be a fun even though we weren’t celebrating a birthday…I mean birthdays! Esther was a little hesitant with the balloons but Weston jumped right in! And how cute are Esther’s painted toes and Weston’s polka dot pj’s? Love it!

Minneapolis Children’s Photographer | Addie, Ryan & Maggie

Between Addie’s pouty looks, Ryan’s energetic expressions and Maggie’s adorableness (I’m not sure that is a real word but it is appropriate so I am using it!) I simply had a wonderful time with these kids! They kept me on my toes for sure…but I think I kept them on theirs too!

Minneapolis Photographer | Camp Get-A-Well-A Benefit Photos in Edina Magazine

I was thrilled when I got the call from Sarah Baumann, Edina Magazine Editor, and found out that she was interested in sending out a photographer to cover the benefit we put on for Camp Get-A-Well-A last month! I  just found out the pictures have been posted to Edina Magazine’s web site! Click on this link… CGAWA Benefit …and look on the left hand side of the page, about half way down!

Check out even more photos from the benefit at this link… CGAWA Benefit …and a big thanks to Matt Mortensen Photography for taking these pictures so Christina & I could meet, greet & mingle with our guests!

Speaking of the benefit…I only have a couple of giveaways left to distribute…for some reason I either have an incorrect phone number or email address for the following people…so if your name is Charles B, Lynn F, Shelly B or Tias Z (this one might not be spelled correctly?) please contact me! You are a WINNER!

Minneapolis Photographer | Tulips

I think they are prettier on the day  I threw them away than when I got them.

Minneapolis Photographer | Happy Valentines

Valentines1A

Minneapolis Newborn Photographer | Sam

Oh, how fun to have a newborn to photograph around Valentines day! Several things made this session especially fun for me…Mom & Dad are friends of mine from high school, I was able to visit them at their home for the session (I’m falling in love with on location shoots!) and to top it all off, Sam is simply a beautiful little baby boy! His hair is this creamy shade of reddish brown, and even though I photographed him at a little under two weeks old he was still so tiny!
