Portrait pricing · Anoka, MN
Portraits made to live on your walls and on your shelves
Four simple collections. One price for maternity, motherhood and empowerment sessions. A $250 session fee reserves your date, then you choose your collection.
Start with the wall
Where will your portraits live?
Before we talk outfits or dates, I’ll ask you something most photographers never do: where in your home do you want to see yourself? Above the bed? Down the hallway? In an album on the coffee table that your children pull out on their own?
Every session here is planned backwards from the finished piece. You’re not booking a photo shoot. You’re creating art for your home, and it starts with picturing the wall.
Wall art
One statement piece changes a room
A large portrait above the sofa or bed does something a phone never will: it greets you every single morning. Canvas has a soft, classic finish. Acrylic is crisp and luminous, with a modern edge. Canvas ranges from 10×10 to 40×60, and acrylic from 16×16 to 30×40.
Imagine your kids walking past it on the way to breakfast, years from now.
Ideas for your home
Which wall is yours?
A few starting points. Keep the one that makes you pause, and bring it to your planning appointment.
The statement. One 30×40 above the bed or sofa.
The story. Three 16×24s down a hallway, read like chapters.
The quiet one. A 10×10 on a nursery shelf or nightstand.
Albums
The book your children will reach for
An album tells your session in order: the first nervous smile, the laugh that came halfway through, the quiet frame at the very end. Linen-covered and made to be handled, it lives on the coffee table and never needs a charger.
Albums start at $950. Start thinking now: which moment would you want on the very first page?
Matted prints
A box of prints to share and swap
Fine prints in mats, gathered in a keepsake box. Frame a few now, rotate them with the seasons, or slip one into a card for your mother. They’re the piece that quietly travels furthest.

Kind words
What it feels like
I worked with Johanna for my maternity shoot and I absolutely LOVED her, the experience, and the pictures! Johanna is incredibly sweet and just makes you feel comfortable right away. The images came out even better than I could have imagined- she is a true professional who knows how to work the camera/lights/backgrounds and fabrics in such a way that makes your pictures stand out beautifully! I would 100% work with her again!!

We’ve been working with Studio Freyja and Johanna for almost 4 years. She is wonderful with our whole family include a toddler and a wild dog. We have albums and wall canvas printed with the photos through the years. Johanna is so kind and makes us feel comfortable. She always has great locations, her studio is AMAZING and even helps us pick out coordinating outfits! Highly recommend!
Jackie B · Family client
I LOVE work with Johanna! I have been working with her for over a year and I just love how she captures my family. She is always able to get my girls to smile and her editing style is amazing. I could not recommend her more!

Questions
A few things people ask
What does the $250 session fee cover?
It reserves your session date. Your planning appointment, a personalized 60 minute session, and an ordering appointment are all included, plus complimentary drinks and snacks during your studio session. It is separate from your collection and is not credited toward it.
Can I choose my collection before my session?
Yes. You can pre-select your collection and pay it off before your session, so you know what to expect at your ordering appointment. You can always upgrade to a different collection or add pieces later.
When do I get my images and my art?
Your digital image gallery is ready 2 to 3 weeks after your ordering appointment. Your products are ready for pickup 4 to 6 weeks after that.
Do I need to know what I want before my session?
No. At your planning appointment we plan your outfits and the pieces you want to create, and about a week after your session we choose your wall art, album and prints together on Zoom.
How much do clients usually spend?
Collections run from $850 to $4,990, plus your $250 session fee. You can add wall art (canvas from $380, acrylic from $800), matted prints from $125, albums starting at $950, or more digital images to any collection. These are heirlooms you’ll live with every day, so plan for the pieces you truly want.
Canvas or acrylic: which is right for me?
Canvas has a soft, matte texture and a classic feel. Acrylic is glossy and vivid, with real depth, and suits a more modern room. At your ordering appointment we look at both with your images.
How big should my wall art be?
A common rule of thumb is about two-thirds the width of the furniture below it. Bring a photo of your wall and its rough width to your planning appointment and we’ll plan it together.
Why is the ordering appointment on Zoom?
It gives you more choice of times, including evenings, and lets a partner join from anywhere. You still see every portrait with me and get help choosing.
Do I get digital images too?
Yes. Every collection includes digital images for sharing, and you can add more. They’re the extra; the art on your walls is the point.
Where is the studio?
Studio Freyja is on the second floor of the historic post office at 300 E Main St in downtown Anoka, MN, with an elevator. It is a short drive from the north metro and an easy trip from the rest of the Twin Cities.
How long is the session?
Your session is a personalized 60 minutes, with a planning appointment beforehand and an ordering appointment afterward.
How do I book?
Use the Start your booking button on the contact page. Your $250 session fee reserves your date, then we set up your planning appointment.
