We're so excited to be the first to review DnK Photography!! It doesn't get any more complicated…read morethan this... Dan and Karin are AMAZING. Their work is AMAZING, their style is AMAZING, the experience you will have with them will be AMAZING. Where do I start...? We have had DnK shoot photos for us about 5 times now and the results have been superb every time! When we first met DnK we were looking for a wedding photographer. We met with about half a dozen photographers in the Twin Cities and DnK were the only ones who seemed to be really enthusiastic about our big day. That was a big plus, of course, but even better than that they went out their way to understand our ideas for the big day even though it was just our initial meeting and we hadn't made any commitments to them yet. My wife and I got a of confidence, very quickly, that they would do a fantastic job for us. The wedding photos turned out perfectly, better than we could have hoped. We had a lot of ideas ourselves but Dan and Karin both came up with really fun and cool ideas on the fly, all of which came out wonderfully. Dan is great at the action shots and coming up with unique ideas in real time as he sees folks interacting and moving around. Karin's portraits and group shots are second to none and her detail shots are sensational. Together they make such a great team and compliment each other really well. We also had the videography option too and that also blew us away. On the big day Dan and Karin were on time (important! :o) and they did a great job or organizing everyone. They kept us on track but at the same time made everyone feel at ease and just helped us enjoy ourselves! (Personally, I don't really like having my photo taken, so the idea of wedding and family photos was enough to make me cut straight to the booze at the reception but DnK managed to take all my nerves away and I really did enjoy myself. It was like magic! Ha!) Immediately after the wedding, on the Monday, we did a "Trash the Dress" shoot at the MN State Fair. Let me tell you - it was a BLAST! Despite it being hot, with hundreds of being constantly surrounding us... it was SO MUCH FUN!! DnK's photos of this shoot were every bit as good as the wedding itself! In fact, in summer several of our photos were used by the Fair as a promo for the event!! How cool!? Since the wedding we have been back again and again. My wife is a musical theatre actress, she has had them shoot her promotional shots for her website and they also shot the photos for a production at The MN History Theatre which have been used two years in a row by the theatre. I could go on and on... but I'll close by saying this: Give DnK a chance, they won't let you down. They will give you incredible value and you will LOVE the results!! Next stop... Pregnancy photos please Dan and Karin! Then baby photos! Then... well, you get the picture... :o)

When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find pictures that I connected with. I ran…read moreacross DnK's website. I hadn't seen their advertisements, or website or rankings on wedding sites, so I was a half heartily looking at their pictures, but I fell in love with their photos. That was in 2010, they've been nominated for all sorts of stuff now because they deserve it! As luck would have it, they were available the day we needed! So we met to interview them and I walked out of there and told my fiance at the time - there is no need to interview anyone else. I want them. They were so prepared when we met, but prepared like photographers are, somewhat disorganized, but they knew were everything was but totally on top of it. They were quit the duo to watch. They had their business side down, pricing was prepared, photos were in hand, they knew each others strengths so they let the other focus on their side of the business. We started asking all the "suppose to ask questions" wedding sites suggest you ask, but quickly just started talking. We connected, it was great. What really sold me was I asked "Come on, you have some crazy bridezilla moments, right?" The response was amazing after giggling at the question, "we haven't had any because those are not the types of brides we attract." - they said it much more professional though. The turn around time on the photos was as expected, email response was as expected (note brides - you are not the business's only customer, don't expect an answer for every little question within 24 hrs no matter the business you are talking to), but the quality of our photos by far surpassed expectations. The photo booth was a gem, the candid photos they caught captured the people's personality to a T. Most of all the photos of my husband and I captured our relationship and the mood of the day just perfectly.

My family and I recently had our family portrait taken with Joanna at her studio and had a…read morewonderful experience and beautiful photos we'll cherish forever. Joanna's a fantastic photographer! She's professional, has an eye for detail, listens to you, easy going, and fun to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a great photoshoot experience and here's why. Prior to the day of our photoshoot, Joanna walked us through details to help us understand what to expect, while listening to our ideas of what we were hoping to capture from the photoshoot as well. She helped us design our coordinating outfits, (as I didn't realize so much goes into that!), and we discussed the "day of" expectations. It was helpful for me, as I am a detail person, and wanted to be absolutely prepared for my husband, young son, and I. On the day of our photoshoot, we were excited, and I have to admit I was a bit nervous, but the moment we stepped foot in Joanna's studio we really felt like stars. Joanna put lovely details into her studio and it makes you feel comfortable and glamorous at the same time. I honestly believe that speaks to Joanna as a photographer as well. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera so we could have real smiles and just be ourselves. I feel she actually captured us being us in that moment, but in a studio with lights and a camera. We had so much fun! When the shoot was over, we actually wished we could do more, but will have to save those ideas for a future family photo with Joanna.

During our session we were a little worried that there wouldn't be anything good because our just-turned-two-year-old was being so, shall we say, energetic. Boy were we wrong! Joanna captured so many beautiful moments that we will treasure for a lifetime. She knew just how to handle a little one with a short attention span, keeping things cheerful and adjusting the pace as needed to keep everyone happy. We used the photos on our Christmas cards and our friends and family have been ooohing and aaahing over the pictures, too!

Smile...Say Cheeeeese!…read more Kelly at Silver Blossom is a phenomenal photographer. She's been our family photographer for the past 4 years based on a recommendation from my sister in law and their adorable baby and toddler pics of their kids. Now we're hooked. You will be impressed by the quality of the pics, the lighting, the landscape, the way she directs you and your family to make everyone feel comfy and to eventually get great pics. We get annual pics cause phone pics just don't cut it. I included a couple of our pics from last weekend in N St Paul and literally got them back 4 days later! Crazy quick turnaround. Love em! They're gorg!

I've had 2 sessions with Kelly at her studio in North St Paul. She did my maternity pictures and…read morethe newborn pictures for my twin boys. I was so happy with the results of both sessions! I get so many compliments whenever I show off any of my pictures. Before we had our first session, The Man was super skeptical; he was all like "can't your sister just use her nice camera and take some pictures?" I said no, and he agreed to purchase a 10 picture package. During the session, Kelly did such a good job making us feel comfortable and relaxed, that he actually even smiled for a few of the pics (he usually takes terrible pictures, like he's in pain or something.) She even let us bring our dog (our first baby) and incorporated him into a few shots. After the session, The Man was feeling better about the quality of the images we were going to receive, and he agreed to increase the package we bought to the 20 image one. (Kelly put no pressure on us or anything like that- I just really wanted to get all the images we could!) For our newborn session, Kelly, again, was so good with her subjects. The session lasted about 3 hours, and she was so gentle and patient with our boys that they would just curl up and fall asleep when she held them. She had so many props and backgrounds that I could have never chosen, but she knew just what to do with each outfit I brought, and added in a few of her own props too. Her pricing is terrific, considering you also get the copyrights to the images, which is so great for making birth announcements or Shutterfly books, or sharing on Facebook. Speaking of Facebook, you should "like" her page. She puts up a few images from a lot of the sessions she does, and it's so fun to see the babies, kiddos, families, high school seniors, and I'm pretty sure I've seen some wedding pictures too. Oh- she has a beautiful studio, but also does outdoor sessions, some of which are absolutely stunning! So basically, I can't say enough good things about The Silver Blossom, and you should for sure get your next pictures done here!
