Minneapolis Portrait Photography

My name is Claudia (she/her), and I am a photographer based in the Twin Cities, MN. Here's a bit about me!

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm a toddler mama! My husband is a pizza/sandwich lovin' guy, I'm a sushi/pho kind of gal, and we are raising a tiny human who loves absolutely everything!

I'm introverted, but you'd never know if you met me! I know it can be intimidating to have your photos taken. I totally understand and will always make you feel comfortable throughout the planning and shooting process.

I'm American, Canadian, and Chinese and have lived in 4 countries. I love having friends and family all over the world who teach me all the different ways to live and love!

I promise to take beautiful pictures of you alone, with a partner, or with your family, but if you have young, energetic children, that is when I really shine! I have been a PreK-8 teacher in 4 countries, (including a number of years working with children with disabilities/special needs) and love working with kids of all ages, needs, cultures, and interests!

The 3 toddlers in my family will tell you that dance party photo shoots are the best!

Former teacher - love working with kids!

"I was absolutely blown away by our family photos!! Claudia did such an amazing job with our toddler and was so kind and patient! She also was very generous with outfit advice and helped us pick clothes that worked perfectly together and photographed beautifully. I can’t thank her enough!"

-Courtney (mini session)

"Thank you so so so much for the beautiful photos. I LOVE them so much. I especially love how you managed to capture all of my toddler’s personality in just a few short minutes. It was wonderful working with you and I can’t wait to do more photos in the future! "

Anna & LEE

"Highly recommend Claudia as your next family photographer, especially if you have littles. My daughter and her became fast friends! Run, don't walk to book her!"
