Some people are driven. Some people know what they want. Some people are on-the-go-people, exciting & dynamic people, people you want to be around, listen & pay attention to just to see what it is they’re going to do next. Tom is one of those people. He’s energetic, magnetic & engaging. He’s a father, a business man and a face you might recognize if you are a member of Lifetime Fitness.

My cousin Rachael is a photographer in the Waterloo, IA area. She came into town a couple of weekends ago and we shot a wedding together! Oh it was SO MUCH FUN! Between running around town scoping out fun places to shoot and all the late night camera-futzing-creative-processing-web-surfing-blog-snooping we were doing we were really REALLY ready to BRING IT to Megan & Ben’s wedding!

minneapolis photographer | fall schedule

nfinazzo — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 06:47:40 +0000

I laid out today in the beautiful sunshine (with my SPF on!) & napped…oh it was lovely & warm & nice…but for some reason all I could think about was the fact that fall is almost here & pretty soon the days are going to be getting shorter! PLUS this fall is a BIG fall for me…Dave & I are getting married in August! Yes, in August I will officially become a Mrs. & I simply can’t wait! So the days are getting shorter & busier as the wedding approaches so I thought it best to post my shooting schedule so all of my clients are up to date on my availability. I will not be shooting in August unless we have already discussed the session (KT your event is scheduled & JE when you hit that 32 week mark lets talk!) as I plan on taking (most of) August off to enjoy getting ready for the wedding.

I have also updated my pricing & session packages within the last week! I am SO EXCITED about the packages I am offering now! There are more options for prints & albums & less restrictions around the type of session…perfect for my clients who are growing their families!

November 20th will be the last day I am shooting in 2010! I’d like to think that I will be taking all of December off for family time & to enjoy the holidays however there are always a few newborns who decide to arrive around that time (like I did!) so if you know you will be in need of a session then please contact me as soon as possible so I can make sure to plan for it!

And lastly for clarification purposes…I will not be scheduling more sessions this fall/winter than are listed below. As stated above there are a few exceptions to that rule, but for the most part, this is it! I am very excited to have a “set schedule” moving forward & SO EXCITED to see all my lovely families again this fall!

June 26th – Park in Minnetonka (If you are interested in a Summertime Mini Session on this day please inquire & I will send you details! Sessions are 20 minuets long & perfect for the client looking for fun pictures without a long time commitment & the session is cheaper too!)

Minneapolis Talent Photographer | Lynn & Alex

nfinazzo — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:42:41 +0000

I think is has taken us a little over 6 months to find time in our busy schedules to get these two in to my studio…and how HAPPY I am that it finally worked out! The light we had at the studio this particular afternoon was simply soft and lovely and I couldn’t be happier with the way these photos turned out. I had so many that I liked I literally had to tell myself to STOP EDITING…what a great problem to have!

Need help managing your assets? Need a financial advisor sensitive to your unique situation and who knows the market like no other? You should be talking to The Jewett Group! Need head shots? Need a new picture of your team for a brochure/internet site? You should be talking to me!

Minneapolis Talent Photographer | Ruth

nfinazzo — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 05:11:33 +0000

I’ve know Ruth for many years. Her daughter Anna is a very good friend of mine from high school and so throughout the years we have bumped into each other here and there. Besides her daughter, Ruth and I have other things in common as well, like our love for all things Italian (she is an avid traveler which we spent most of our time talking about during her Talent Session, LOVE ITALY) and we are both cancer survivors. Within the past several years (I’m not exactly sure how many?) Ruth lost her left hand and a portion of her arm to an aggressive form of cancer. You know that saying, “When life hands you lemons make lemonade?” Well let me tell you, Ruth makes an awesome lemonade and she’s sharing it! Ruth’s message “Cancer & Change: Moving through the narrow spot” details her impressive story and faith journey through the years of her initial diagnosis, recovery and enthusiastic embrace of life today. I simply can’t wait to hear her speak, you go girl!

Minneapolis Talent Photographer | Ralph

nfinazzo — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:59:44 +0000

Talent. Many of the people that come to me for “Talent” photographs are aspiring actors and actresses or working actors and actresses and I have even had the pleasure of photographing a fellow photographer or two. This is the first post of two “new” types of “Talent” that recently came to see me and I couldn’t be more thrilled with all of the results I am seeing! First up, meet Ralph. Ralph is a music composer and it just so happens that the St. Olaf Choir is featuring him as one of the composers whose music they are performing on their East Coast Tour in February! Congrats!

Minneapolis Studio Launch & Benefit Event | Camp Get-A-Well-A

nfinazzo — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 23:55:11 +0000

Come, be a part of the celebration. Our studio has moved-downtown

minneapolis. I know, we love it and we are excited about it. So excited

that we want to share it with you and make a difference in the lives of

some well deserving kids. We are photographers. We love your

families on your perfectly dressed and discheveled days. We love

your kids on both their sweetly smiliey and grumpy days. Yes, even

when they are turning the studio upside-down. We love what we do

and that’s why we are turning our re-launch party into a benefit with

super awesome giveaways. I’m talking SUPER awesome. We are

parterning with LIMEgreen, people who know how to make an impression,

and with their help, this will be the benefit event of the season to be at.

A small donation ($5, $10, $25, $???) will go a long way to proving camp

experiences to sick kids in hospitals this summer through

Camp Get-A-Well-A. And remember those super awesome giveaways?

With each donation you can enter to win one. A complimentary

session with Christina or Natalie, print packages, consultation with an

interior designer, gift baskets, artwork and so much more.

So yeah, it’s pretty awesome. And you are exclusively invited.

As many of you may or may not know one of my favorite not-for-profits is Camp Get-A-Well-A. Through some friends I had the pleasure of working with them on some graphic design projects a while back…one thing led to another and well, they’ve grown on my heart! How could they not!? JoLanne and the rest of the volunteers are committed to bringing camp experiences to sick kids in hospitals all over the nation. For many kids, this is the only camping experience they will ever have as they are confined to the hospital due to their illnesses.

As many of you also may or may not know yet my studio is moving downtown and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be sharing the space with fellow photographer chrissie marie photography. So we started thinking that we wanted to have a party to celebrate being in our new space…but we also wanted to give back…so we brought in some event planner friends of ours, LIMEgreen, and voila! Our Launch and Benefit Party is a go!

Minneapolis Talent Photographer | Charles

nfinazzo — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 04:15:19 +0000

If you think I’m busy then you haven’t met Megan & Charles. They are probably two of the busiest working actors in MN! Once upon a time I just so happened to have taken Megan’s head shots, which led to me being hired to photograph their wedding, which you can see here, here, here and here, which in turn landed Charles back into my studio last weekend for some Talent photos of his own! I was thrilled to find out that Charles wanted to freshen up his portfolio and even more thrilled that he was looking for some photographs that would accentuate all the hard work he has put into his body. Anyone in need of an underwear model? I have his number!
