Family photos help preserve connection. Moments change fast, but pictures give you something to look back on with pride. Inna’s sessions focus on comfort and warmth. No stiff posing. No forced expressions.
Every session is designed to bring out interaction, laughter, and real emotion. The result is a collection of photos that reflect your relationships and your story as a family.
Audiences connect with visuals. A branding appointment can show your daily work, your own style, and your values all in one image set. Inna works closely with professionals and creatives to produce creative photos that feel authentic.
Photos can include portraits, working snaps, lifestyle settings, or simple environmental details that give context to your work. Each session is planned to reflect your tone and style.
Graduating is a big deal. Senior photos should reflect the energy, interests, and future goals of each student. Inna works with seniors to plan a session that feels relaxed and personal.
Outfits, backgrounds, and settings are chosen to reflect personality. These aren’t standard school pictures. These are images that students and parents want to keep, frame, and share.
Your headshot speaks before you do. It appears on company websites, social platforms, email footers, and publications. That image shapes how others view you.
Inna designs every appointment to help you look confident and approachable. With careful lighting, simple direction, and a focus on natural expression, you’ll walk away with photos that help you stand out in your industry.
Our fine art portraiture focuses on refined photography that brings out your true colors in a clean, elegant style. These images go beyond basic snaps. They are carefully planned, beautifully lit, and thoughtfully composed to reflect your character and emotion.
Inna combines her background in art and photography to produce high-end pictures with a timeless feel. The result is a canvass that looks natural, polished, and worthy of display. If you’re planning a personal shoot or updating your decor with family pictures, these images are made to last and designed to stand out in your gallery of memories.
Capturing dancers takes more than timing. It takes an understanding of movement and emotion. Inna captures moments where posture, flow, and presence all meet.
Each shoot is built around your dance style and performance goals. Whether you’re a solo performer or part of a company, Inna’s images highlight form and feeling in every frame.

INNA’s downtown Minneapolis studio is open – by appointment only–between 10am and 7pm Monday through Saturday. Contact her to make an appointment. Email or call for a time convenient for you.
First, INNA understands how you may feel. She will tell you she doesn’t enjoy being photographed either. Knowing this natural anxiety, she strives to “connect” with each of her subjects. Her energy and enthusiasm will quickly help you relax and allow you to have fun. Photographing people is her passion and she puts her heart into each session. She will work with you until she believes she has captured the “real you.”
Using the Rembrandt lighting style, she brings life and depth to the photographs of her subjects. This method of lighting is centuries old, developed by the world-famous painter. The best way to understand her technique is to visit her studio, see her samples.
Pricing depends on the type of appointment, length of the appointments, and what’s included in your final gallery. A family photoshoot may have different pricing than a full fine art portraiture package. Inna offers flexible options that reflect her experience, style, and the care she puts into every snap. Each appointment includes time for prep, a relaxed experience in front of the camera, and professionally edited images that feel meaningful and timeless.
Inna photographs subjects in her Minneapolis studio and on location throughout the Twin Cities. Family photography can take place in local parks, engagement photography can happen downtown or in natural light settings, and artistic images can be created in more intimate spaces. She photographs across Minnesota and beyond, offering creative ideas for any setting that fits your vision.
Inna is an award-winning lifestyle photographer with more than 15 years of experience capturing real moments through creative photo sessions. Her portfolio includes headshots, maternity images, boudoir, family pictures, and engagement pictures. People love her calm presence behind the camera and her ability to connect with people of all ages. She brings both insight and care into every photo appointment.
Absolutely. You don’t need to know how to pose before your appointment. Inna gently guides each client throughout the shoot, helping bring out authentic moments that reflect your personality. If you’re doing profile images for work or a couple’s shoot to celebrate your next chapter, Inna makes the process feel easy and comfortable.
Choosing the right outfit helps tell your story. Inna offers tips during your planning call to help you feel confident and look polished. Neutral tones, soft textures, and simple pieces often work well for photoshoots, maternity images, or family images. You can bring options to your appointment and she’ll help you decide what works best on camera.
The cost of a photo session depends on many factors. The best way to answer the question is to talk with INNA. Schedule a complimentary planning session. Once you visit with her about your expectations, she will establish your sitting cost. To be clear, the sitting (session) cost includes INNA’s professional photography fee, but does not include prints.
Of course there are many variables to establish a session cost. Are you looking for a simple business portrait (head-and-shoulders) in the studio or a portrait of a family of eight in your home? Are you planning your high school senior portraits – in-studio and outdoor – or maybe a highly stylized Masterpiece Portrait of your young daughter? A brief conversation with INNA will help her better understand your goals, enabling her to give you a session cost. Call her to schedule a complimentary planning session in her studio in downtown Minneapolis or to set up a telephone conversation.
Whatever you wish. Some people like the more traditional, formal setting of the studio where light and the elements can be controlled. Others desire a more casual, outdoor setting. Some like the choice of both. Whatever you’d like, INNA can accommodate. Visit with INNA and discuss your thoughts. She will make the experience fun and memorable.
This is a question INNA can answer after your session. Every situation is unique. It all depends on the number of poses, clothing changes, locations and techniques used in creating your portraits. There is no “standard” answer, but at the end of your session, INNA will let you know when your proofs will be ready for viewing.
EXCELLENT Based on 18 reviews Fedje Jodi2021-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Inna truly made every bit of my professional photo session a very enjoyable experience! She walked me through what clothes to bring before I arrived. She was concerned that the clothes I brought were not only my fashion style, but also in keeping with the most professional/clean look for photographing. When I arrived Inna had professional makeup and hair artist, Samantha Shephard, complete a clean look for my hair and makeup, once again in keeping with my personal style. I felt like I was being pampered! Inna even offered me a glass of champagne to enjoy while prepping for our session. While being photographed I was so impressed with how knowledgeable and concerned Inna was with the proper lighting and angles within the frame. She studied every element of light and shadow on my face to capture my very best look. She was also very aware of the angles of my face and body, always making me feel so beautiful! I am so happy with how my portraits turned out. Inna is truly a professional of her craft and a master of the art of photography! I highly recommend her for your professional photographer. Jodi Drengson2021-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 4 YO twins had a "golden ticket invitation" to have milk and cookies with Santa. The magical experience was like a trip to Disneyland. We highly recommend Inna Portraits. Sarah Anderson2020-12-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can all agree that 2020 has been a year to remember. 2020 will forever be referred to as one of the hardest years in the modern history of our entire world. With that being said, we wanted something special for our family to remember for the year 2020. Miss Inna at Inna Portraits captured those few precious moments in an exquisitely framed photograph filled with majesty and allure! (Yes, I am using big words because anything less would be insulting to Inna's stunning professionalism and talent!) I am so in love with the outcome of our portraits. Thank you Miss Inna! You will forever be a lifetime friend and photographer of our family! George Lohmann2020-12-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contracted with Inna's Portraits Studio for Christmas themed photos with our youngest grandchildren. The children were treated to a magical experience with a set recreating Santa's abode with all the trimmings. The set was very professionally done. The Santa actor was very believable and genuine in his portrayal as Santa. He mesmerized the children and captured their full attention. While all of was happening, Inna was expertly taking photographs of the children's interactions with Santa and the North Pole set. Inna was very kind and patient with the children when they had their moments. We later met with Inna at her studio to select the photos for use in the portrait we purchased. Inna had a very professional display set up on a projector, so we could make best selection of photos. Inna had a treat for us during the photo selection, hot cocoa and cookies. We made the selection of the photos, the portrait size and frame. When the portrait and additional photos were ready, Inna came to our home and personally mounted the portrait in the selected location. We felt we received the ultimate in personalized service from Inna. Inna is a consumate professional and we were honored to have her make portraits of our grandchildren during a very special time in their lives. We highly recommend Inna's Portrait Studio for your portrait and photography needs. Richard L J Rockefeller2020-12-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial consultation, to the dynamic and energizing photo shoot, to the efficient viewing where Inna and I shifted through the multitude of images we created together, she was highly focused on capturing the real me. Images that I would want to share. . . In our first visit I told her I was not a photogenic person. She found my spirit! Inna took the time to get to know who I was, never rushing the process. She is meticulous about the details, especially the lighting. I loved this experience. Inna is true artist! In Hope and Peace, Richard L J Rockefeller Erin Langemo2020-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family booked a Santa session with Inna. From Santa having advance knowledge about my children to the beautiful set, the attention to detail was impeccable. The kids ate cookies with Santa, read the Christmas story from Luke 2, and discussed their wishes. Family memories were made, and new traditions Santa introduced have begun. The portraits Inna captured are truly magical. She is a sheer talent behind the camera, and she took great care and interest in our kids. The images perfectly reflect the wonder the kids experienced. Inna has captured my children’s childhood, and the amazement we should all feel at Christmas. I cannot recommend highly enough. Best investment I’ve made in years! Please do yourself a favor and book a session for your family. You will be so grateful you did! Justine Anderson2020-06-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
