Hello Duluth and Northern Minnesota parents and schools 🤍

If you’re feeling a little underwhelmed by traditional school photos, I’d love to introduce you to something different — something softer, more meaningful, and truly centered on your child.

As a Northern Minnesota photographer serving Duluth, Hibbing, Grand Rapids, and the surrounding communities, I’ve brought a fine art approach to school portraits that feels simple, modern, and honest. No loud backdrops. No forced smiles. No cookie-cutter poses.

Just your child — exactly as they are in this season.

The Fine Art School Portrait Difference

My personality portraits are intentionally minimal. I use a clean black backdrop so nothing distracts from what matters most — your child’s expression, their little smirk, the sparkle in their eye, the quiet confidence, the silliness.

This isn’t about perfect posture or saying “cheese.”
It’s about preserving who they are right now.

Because this age? This personality? It changes faster than we think.

My Approach

If you’ve worked with me before through With Love Photography, you already know this: I don’t force moments.

In school portrait sessions, I guide gently — but I let kids be kids.
If they’re chatty, we talk.
If they’re shy, we move slowly.
If they’re wiggly, we embrace it.

There’s no pressure to perform. No stiff posing. No “big smile!” demands.

The more space children are given, the more their real personality shines through — and that’s where the magic lives.

Why Families in Duluth & Northern Minnesota Are Loving This

Authentic Expressions
We capture real, unfiltered expressions that feel like them — not a rehearsed version.

Timeless Style
The neutral backdrop means these portraits won’t feel dated in five years. They’re classic, simple, and beautiful on your walls.

Personality Over Perfection
Every child is different. These portraits honor that. The serious thinkers. The quiet observers. The belly-laughers. The dramatic storytellers.

A Boutique School Photography Experience

Unlike large, corporate photography companies, I take on a limited number of Northern Minnesota schools so I can offer a more personal experience. Communication is direct. Ordering is simple. And the artwork feels intentional — not mass produced.

This isn’t just another school photo day.
It’s a way to preserve this chapter in a way that actually feels meaningful.

Because someday, when they’re taller than you and their voice has changed, these images will bring you right back.

If you’re a parent or school administrator in Duluth or the greater Northern Minnesota area and would love to bring Fine Art School Portraits to your school, I’d be honored to connect.
