Professional Minneapolis Photographer

The studio at 308 E Hennepin Ave is open by appointment only, 10 AM to 7 PM, Monday through Saturday. Call (612) 200-8612 or email to pick a time that works for you. Sessions are booked one at a time, so the whole floor is yours while you’re here.

Inna understands how you feel, and she’ll tell you she doesn’t enjoy being on the other side of the camera either. Knowing that nervousness is normal, she works to connect with every subject first. Her energy helps you relax and have fun. Photographing people is her passion, and she puts her heart into each session. She keeps working until she believes she has the real you.

She uses Rembrandt lighting, a centuries old technique named for the painter, which places a small triangle of light on the shadow side of the face. It gives depth and dimension that flat, even light can’t. The best way to understand it is to visit the studio and see the samples on the wall.

Pricing depends on the session type, how long it runs, and what’s included in your final gallery. A family session and a full fine art package aren’t priced the same way. Inna offers flexible options that reflect her experience and the care she puts into every frame. Every appointment includes planning time, a relaxed experience in front of the camera, and professionally edited images.

In the Northeast Minneapolis studio, or on location across the Twin Cities. Family sessions work well in local parks, engagement sessions suit natural light settings, and concept work usually goes better indoors where light is controlled. Inna also travels for sessions elsewhere in Minnesota and beyond.

Inna is an award winning portrait artist with more than 15 years behind the camera. Her portfolio covers headshots, maternity, boudoir, family, senior, dance and engagement work. Clients mention her calm presence and her ability to connect with people of every age.

Yes. You don’t need to know how to pose before your appointment. Inna guides each client through the whole session and draws out the expressions that actually look like you. A profile image for work or a couple’s session runs the same way: she talks, you react, she shoots.

Bring options. Inna gives wardrobe guidance on your planning call, and neutral tones, soft textures and simple pieces work well for most sessions. Loud patterns and visible logos date a portrait faster than anything else. Hang everything in the wardrobe area when you arrive and decide together.

The best way to answer that is to talk with Inna. Schedule a complimentary planning session. Once she understands your expectations she’ll set your sitting fee. To be clear, the sitting fee covers Inna’s professional fee and does not include prints. The variables are real: a head and shoulders business portrait in the studio is not the same job as a family of eight in your home, a high school senior session shot both in studio and outdoors, or a stylized masterpiece portrait of a young daughter. A short conversation gets you a number. Call the studio in Northeast Minneapolis or set up a phone call.

Whatever you’d like. Some people prefer the controlled light of the studio. Others want a casual outdoor setting. Plenty of clients do both in one booking. Talk it through with Inna and she’ll build the plan around it.

Inna answers that after your session, because every situation is different. It depends on the number of poses, clothing changes, locations and techniques used. There is no standard answer, but before you leave she will tell you when your proofs will be ready to view.

No. The studio isn’t available to rent, hourly or daily. It’s a working portrait studio, and every booking is a session with Inna.
