Photographer Lisa Poseley

Welcome, and thank you for visiting! My passion for photography began in my early years, eventually leading me from Minneapolis to New York City and around the globe as a documentary photographer. After returning to Minneapolis to start my family, I discovered a deep love for studio photography, where I now specialize in creating luxurious, timeless portraits. Though I focus on studio sessions, I also embrace Minnesotaโ€™s beautiful outdoors during the warmer months.

As a single mother to wonderful twin daughters, I understand the significance of capturing every stage of childhood. My family, including our two beloved golden retrievers, Sunny and Coop, bring joy and balance to my life in St. Louis Park. This personal journey has shaped my approach to photographing other families, helping me to capture authentic connections and unique personalities.

Iโ€™m honored to have photographed hundreds of families and children and to be recognized as an award-winning photographer whose work is published internationally. In addition to my photography, Iโ€™m dedicated to mentoring and educating other photographers, sharing the craft that continues to inspire me.

With my studio, you can expect a professional, seamless experience that makes every step enjoyable and stress-free. I look forward to creating beautiful, lasting images your family will treasure for generations.

โ€œLisa is hands down a miracle worker when it comes to working with newborns and children! She welcomed us into her studio and made us feel so incredibly comfortable and immediately like family. She truly wants to capture your personal style and special moments perfectly! Lisa's quality of work speaks for itself, and her product far exceeds expectations. Our newborn and 1 year old sessions were perfect! We shopped and shopped for a newborn photographer and she was the perfect fit for our family. Will be using her talent over and over in the future!โ€

Lisa has been wonderful. from the initial shoot to the finished product, we have been completely satisfied. Lisa captures much more than images, she captures the emotion of the subject. That, in our opinion is the difference between a good photographer and a great one. Thank you Lisa.

FAQs

When should I book newborn photos?

Itโ€™s best, but not required, to book your photo session several months in advance. We recommend the newborn photos be taken at 7-14 days old but photograph many babies at 4-7 weeks. Booking ahead guarantees you a timely session even if your baby arrives early or late! Lisa does a limited number of newborn sessions just for this reason.

How much does a photo session cost?

The minimum investment in a full-length session is $1200, and many clients also create albums or artwork for their homes. We also offer specials throughout the year on a few session types.

How do I book?

Weโ€™re committed to offering a seamless and transparent experience for our clients. Some sessions, like headshots and mini-sessions, can be booked online. For more custom sessions, please contact us, and we will respond immediately with a link to set up a quick call, or we are happy to chat via text or email.
