When you’re looking for a family photographer in Minneapolis, you’re not just searching for someone who takes pretty pictures. You want someone who understands your family — the laughter, the chaos, the love — and can turn those fleeting moments into artwork you’ll treasure forever.
That’s exactly what I do at Julie Ann Photography, specializing in documentary-style family photography that captures real connection, not just poses.
Here are the top five reasons families in Plymouth, Wayzata, and the greater Minneapolis area love working with me.
1. Your Family’s Real Story — Beautifully Told
No posing. No matching outfits. No “say cheese.”
My sessions are all about authentic family moments — the ones that happen naturally when you’re just being yourselves. Whether your toddler is making pancakes with dad or your kids are snuggled up reading on the couch, I’ll capture your family’s love in an honest, artful way.
These are the images that tell your story — perfectly imperfect, full of life, and completely you.
2. Stress-Free Sessions in the Comfort of Your Home
The best photos happen when everyone feels comfortable. That’s why I come to you.
Your home is where your family’s story unfolds every day, and it’s the perfect setting for natural, meaningful photos. You don’t need to pack bags or fight for smiles — just enjoy time together while I quietly document your connection.
When you can relax, your love shows through effortlessly.
3. Experience That Makes a Difference
With years of experience photographing babies, toddlers, and families — and as a mom of three myself — I understand how to keep sessions fun, flexible, and stress-free. My background in child development helps me tune in to your children’s personalities and capture them at their best.
You’ll never feel rushed or pressured — just supported and guided every step of the way.
4. Heirloom-Quality Artwork for Your Home
Your family photos deserve more than a spot on your phone. Every collection includes options for custom wall art, fine-art prints, and heirloom albums, so your memories become tangible keepsakes.
Each piece is designed to complement your home and tell your family’s story — a legacy that can be passed down for generations.
5. A Personalized, Luxury Photography Experience
From your first inquiry to the final delivery of your artwork, you’ll receive a seamless, guided experience tailored to your family. I handle all the details — from wardrobe suggestions and planning to designing your finished pieces — so you can focus on what matters most: your people.
My goal is simple — to make family photography in Minneapolis feel relaxed, meaningful, and deeply personal.
Because These Moments Deserve to Be Remembered
The days that feel ordinary now will one day be the ones you miss most — morning snuggles, messy hair, endless giggles. Let’s preserve those memories in a way that feels timeless and true.
