As one of the leading St Paul family photographers, I create meaningful family portraits that feel authentic and joyful. With simple guidance, warm direction, and a calm atmosphere, your family gets to be present and comfortable while I capture the moments you want to remember.
Family photography celebrates connection at every stage. Whether it is a newborn joining your home, young kids growing quickly, or a multi-generational gathering, the purpose of a family photoshoot is to preserve the bonds, personalities, and small moments that matter most. Most families book sessions yearly to mark growth, document milestones, and create heirloom artwork to display at home. You benefit from gentle guidance, relaxed posing, and an experience that feels easy even if your kids are energetic or camera shy.
A calm, controlled environment ideal for classic, timeless portraits. The St Paul studio offers professional lighting, curated backdrops, and a warm space that keeps sessions comfortable for families with young children.
Portraits created in natural light at parks and scenic spots throughout St Paul and Minneapolis. Outdoor sessions offer movement, play, and candid moments that feel genuine and relaxed.
A gentle, patient approach designed for newborns and little ones. Sessions move at your baby’s pace and focus on the connection between your growing family.
Perfect for grandparents, siblings, and large family groups. I organize posing and combinations so everyone looks natural without feeling rushed.
Creating family portraits is about trust, comfort, and a guided experience that feels easy from the very beginning. I focus on warm direction, simple posing and a relaxed atmosphere so kids can be themselves while we still capture meaningful, beautiful imagery.
My St Paul studio is fully equipped with professional lighting and a child-friendly space, and I’m familiar with the best outdoor locations across both St Paul and Minneapolis. With more than 47 five-star reviews from families who love both the experience and their final artwork, and as a leading family photographer in St Paul, I work hard to ensure your session feels natural, enjoyable, and genuinely reflective of the people you love.
We offer styling guidance and suggestions that photograph well, so outfits feel simple and stress-free.
Movement is encouraged, and sessions are guided in a way that keeps things natural and fun.
Posing is demonstrated and gently directed so you always know exactly what to do.
Editing is soft and refined while keeping everyone looking true to life.
The St Paul studio offers everything needed for a smooth, comfortable family session.
Families visit from all across St Paul and Minneapolis. Many sessions come from Summit Hill, Mac-Groveland, Cathedral Hill, Highland Park, Como Park, Merriam Park, Lowertown, Union Park, Uptown, North Loop, Linden Hills, and Longfellow.

I'm not a big fan of having my photo taken but was pleasantly surprised with how much I loved them. They turned out very professional and high quality. Her space is super inviting too and conveniently located in NE Minneapolis, with easy to navigate parking. I would definitely recommend Kyra for all of your photography needs!Posted on 鄒淳如(Chun-Ju Tsou)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I met Kyra during a headshot event on campus at UMN. She is very good at making the other person feel comfortable, and her pictures are stunning! Very personable, efficient, great at directing the person, and she's easy to work with. She got the pictures to us very quickly and I was very impressed by them! I highly recommend herPosted on Allison BellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kyra shot my book launch party and did an amazing job! I look forward to hiring her again in the future.Posted on Carrie KyungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kyra is so organized, yet relaxed and conscientious about her work. She had a clear plan, but was willing and able to change things up. She made the experience fun and authentic while helping create poses and looks that worked well with the scenery and photographed perfectly. The review of photos was laid back, allowing plenty of time to pick our favorites and feel no pressure to go past our budget. The photos were so amazing, though, so the budget was happily reevaluate so we could get more! Kyra was great and made the whole process (4 hours of travel and photos) go smoothly and she created incredible memories for us in her art. Thanks, Kyra!Posted on Jingyi LuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. love the images,the photographer is awesome!
