My name is J.J. Killins and I am so glad you’re here.
I photograph families and seniors in the Twin Cities.
Let's capture your unique family.
I have lived in Minnesota for 17 years. This is home.
I love to read, and as an adult the genre I most love is middle grade fiction.
I have been happily married for 21 years.
I have two amazing children who are growing up way too fast. Case in point - my daughter has already left for the Air Force Academy.
I am a runner. I do yoga everyday.
I love Pizza Fridays.
I photographed my own children since their first breaths.
We have volumes of photos documenting favorite toys, first meals, funny outfits, and while volumes might be excessive, when it comes to photography, more is better. More means you have it documented, just in case you forget.
I can’t wait to meet you, to help you document the everyday specialness of your own family.

Your photo session is your photo session.
A photo session with me can take place at your home, in your backyard, at the park, by a pond, in a field, by a river, on a bridge, in an alley downtown!
I am a natural light photographer, meaning that when we decide on a location, we will figure out when the light will be loveliest for capturing your family.
I am located in Shoreview but shoot all over the Twin Cities. Don’t fear the cold weather and snow! Embrace our lovely winter weather for your next family portrait.
I can absolutely help you decide what clothing choices will coordinate for a great family photo look.
If casual is what you’re after, I will show up at your doorstep and capture your family in your home, feeling at home.
Your photo session will last approximately one hour.
You totally captured my two little fairies in action and while probably my least favorite thing to do in the world is study close-ups of my own face, I was so
happy with the pictures of me. I actually look pretty. Thank you SO much. I had such anxiety about getting a photo taken and they turned out beautifully.
