They say it’s better to give than to receive. Why not do both?
Enjoy giving and receiving in October during Family Portrait Month. For every family session booked, we’ll give a $50 donation to Operation Smile and you’ll receive $50 off your session.
Family portrait sessions are fun and memorable at Jesse Valley Photography. Whether at your home or a favorite park, we’ll capture your family laughing and interacting together. You can even include your pet! These artful and candid memories are perfect for holiday cards, gifts for grandparents and custom art for your home.

Have you ever wanted to have a family portrait taken with your beloved pet? “Portraits With Pets” is an opportunity to have portraits taken of—and with—your pets. The entire $50 session fee (regular price is $100) from each photo session will be donated to MARS (Midwest Animal Rescue & Services). These hour long sessions will take place the following two weekends in September:
September 11 and 12 from 9 am–5 pm at Oak Hill Park in St. Louis Park.
September 18 and 19 from 9 am–5 pm at Lake Harriet.
All sessions need to be reserved in advance. Sessions are on a first call, first reserve basis. So call today to reserve your session—612-382-2867. For your convenience, your portraits will be available for online ordering.

This photo was taken on a recent engagement session with Cody and Mike. We had a lot of fun in Minneapolis playing with some old cameras and sparklers. You can see more of the photos from their session by watching the video below.
Congratulations to Brooke and Courtney, who were the winners of the drawing I held at the Mary Kay’s Bridal Grand Opening event (see the blog post about it here). They received a free engagement session and a free 11×14 wall portrait. Following are a few of my favorite images from the session, which was on a perfect day with stunning blue skies. Which image would you select for the free 11×14?

While I was waiting for a baby’s photography session at the Lake Harriet Rose Garden, I took this photo of one of the fountains with an extremely fast shutter speed (1/6400 second).
