Jennifer Christi Photo & Video

Jennifer Christi Photo & Video We are made up of a team of photographers and videographers based in northern Minnesota. We are storytellers. We don't believe there is any story too small.

We love to capture smiles, laughter, glances & life. Every moment deserves to be captured and saved for the rest of your life. From weddings to babies, family photos to senior portraits, and everything else in between, we want to tell your story in all the beauty that it is!

Remember when photos were "Badabing Badaboom!" and you were done? Back when Sears and JCPenney studios ruled the world?

We know not everyone has the time (or the want) for a full session, on-location, with all the production. So Jenny has started something new! You can now book a 5, 15, or 30-minute session with Jenny at the studio.

These sessions are offered every Wednesday between 9:30am and 4:30pm, and some weekends (like this Saturday!). So whether you need an updated headshot, want some quick pics of the family, or just need to capture the kids before they get any bigger, this is the easy way to do it.

Don't think 5 or 15 minutes is enough time to get photos? Here's what a few clients have said:

"Jennifer is fantastic, and we had a great experience with her 10 minute mini sessions! Her studio is beautiful and is the perfect size for busy kids. Our gallery is far beyond what I expected, and she perfectly captured each member of the family! Would definitely recommend for quality and value!" — Danielle

"We did the 'just one good picture' [5-minute session] bundle and I am so glad we did! Jennifer did a great job and my 3 small children had a blast. She got some very beautiful pictures, thank you!" — Alyssa

"Wow, Jennifer Christi took beautiful family photos for our family and knew exactly how to support a family with a 3.5 and 1.5 year old and take fun photos during the Mommy mini shoot. Thank you!" — Amanda

So... you ready to book yet? Can't wait to see you in the studio!

I'm hosting summer mini sessions at one of my faaaaaavorite spots for photos in the Park Rapids area -> Preacher's Grove! I'm doing them in the evening on June 5th, and there are only 8 spots.

These are quick fifteen-minute sessions set against those big, beautiful pines at Itasca. A simple, easy way to refresh your family photos before summer really gets going, get some quick senior portraits in, or maybe some photos of you with your love!

Here's what's included:
- A 15-minute session
- All edited images (50+) delivered in an online gallery within 4 weeks
- A print release to download and print wherever you please
- The option to order prints right through your gallery

Sessions run between 6:00 and 8:30pm, and the evening light out there in June is honestly something special. $175 per session.

With just 8 spots, these will go quickly. Find more info in the first comment!

May is going to be a really fun month at Jennifer Christi Photo & Video, and I wanted to share what's coming because I think there's something here for just about everyone.

May 5 — Business Headshot Refresh Day
If your headshot is outdated [or nonexistent], this one's for you. Ten minutes, all your edited images, $75. The studio has a variety of backdrops to choose from so we'll find what works best for you.

May 9 — Mother's Day Minis: Two ways to celebrate Mom this year!
Your favorite 5-minute "I just need ONE good photo" minis are from 10am–12pm for just $29.99. You'll receive 5 edited images with the option to download more of your favorites.

Or come out to Preacher's Grove at Itasca State Park from 1–4pm for something a little more unique. You'll receive all of your edited images. Fifteen or thirty minute sessions surrounded by those big beautiful pines. Mother's Day is May 11th, so don't wait too long on this one.

Wednesdays at the Studio — All Month
I'm opening the studio every Wednesday in May for portrait sessions. Five, fifteen, or thirty minutes depending on what you need. Great for families, individuals, seniors, whoever. Easy to schedule, no big commitment.

If any of these sound like something you've been meaning to do, May is a great time to finally make it happen. Check out the first comment for more info!

April 18th! I'm hosting a small set of Spring Refresh Sessions at my studio in Park Rapids — and I'd love to see some of you there!

Headshots. Family photos. Pics of the kids. Couples. Pets. Whatever it is you need!

Ten minutes. $75. Inside or outside [weather permitting]. Full gallery of edited images, plus a free 8x10 of your favorite.

Easy, low-pressure, no big setup. Just a little time to capture where your people are right now.

Spots are limited, and I'm only opening a few hours — check out the first comment for more info!

I'm hosting 10-minute sessions on April 18th, and you get a free 8x10!

If you've been wanting to update your family photos, get a fresh headshot, or just capture where your little ones are right now, I've got something for you!

On April 18th, I'm hosting a small set of Spring Refresh Sessions at the studio, and I'd love to see you there!

Ten minutes. $75. Inside or outside... and weather permitting, you'll have both options. You'll receive all your edited images.
And every session that day comes with a free 8x10 print of your favorite photo. (Because really, we need to be printing more of our photos.)

These are meant to feel easy and low-pressure. You come in, we have a good time, and you walk away knowing we got some great shots. That's it.

I truly believe every family and every person deserves photos that capture real life — and a quick 10-minute session is one of the ways I can make that more accessible. If you or someone you know has been putting it off, this is a great place to start.

Spots are limited; I'm only opening this up for a few hours. Check out the first comment to learn more.

A quick, personal note from Jenny:

"To my incredible clients whom I've had the honor of photographing over the years, or those who have been wanting to work with me,

As I mentioned recently, I’m adjusting my schedule this year. My team will continue offering on-location sessions and weddings just as they always have, but I’m personally stepping back from most on-location work to focus more on studio sessions and business storytelling.

If you’ve been hoping to book an on-location session with me in 2026, I’m keeping a small window open — and that option will close on February 22.

There are two simple ways to do that:
• You can grab a session gift certificate and reach out when you’re ready to schedule. I keep track of those and will make space accordingly. Returning clients can use the code RETURNGIFT for 10% off. Shoot me a message, and I can direct you to where you need to be to grab a gift certificate.

• Or, if you already know your date, just message me, and we’ll get it on the calendar. You can reserve with a 50% retainer, with the remaining balance due the week before your session. Returning clients will receive their 10% discount here as well.

I’m so grateful for the encouragement so many of you have shared. This business is what it is because of the people who have trusted us over the years — and that means more than you know.

If this feels like your year to book, I’d love to hear from you before February 22.

So, so thankful for you,
Jenny"

*RETURNGIFT is reserved for returning clients. If you’re new and accidentally use the code, we’ll simply adjust the invoice before booking.

I (Jenny) love seeing how my clients use their images for advertising and content! In 2025, I started working with Progressive Care Management to create consistency and authenticity across the board in their senior living facilities. They are some of the greatest people to work with, and all the residents I've photographed have only had amazing things to say about them! All the professional photos in this reel were done by me through Jennifer Christi Photo & Video. If you're looking to update your business' images this year, let me know! I'd love to chat!

TL;DW:
Life has shifted a lot for our family and business, and with Joel now off on evenings and weekends, I’m restructuring how I work so I can actually see him 😄

♥️ I’ll be taking very limited on-location portrait sessions and weddings this year.
♥️ I’m shifting my main focus to working with businesses and in-studio portrait sessions on specific days, plus film sessions.
♥️ Our crew is still available and fully trusted to photograph and film in the JCPV style you’re used to.
♥️ If it’s important that I (Jenny) am the one to photograph your story, you can purchase a gift certificate now and I’ll send you my available dates privately, since my on-location booking calendar will no longer be on the website.

May 2026 bring you joy and fulfillment in what you do!

Who here runs a local business and could seriously use a refresh on their website and social media content?

Most of you should be raising your hand right now.

In today’s world, your photos and videos are often the first impression someone has of your business, before they ever walk through your doors or send an inquiry.

Relevant, authentic visuals don’t just look pretty; they build trust, tell your story, and turn casual scrollers into actual paying customers.

If your current content doesn’t reflect how great your business really is, it’s time for a refresh. And I’m here to help.

I’m running a 2026 Business Refresh special. You get 15 minutes of photos and/or video for whatever updates you need for only $75! There really isn’t a type of business that wouldn’t benefit from a content refresh.

This special includes:
- 15 minutes at your location, focused on the areas you most want to update
- All edited images and b-roll video clips (short clips, not a full edited video)
- Rights to use and distribute the content however you’d like, with no requirement to credit me or my business

I am ONLY running this special for sessions in the first two weeks of January, and it is limited to one slot per business. If those dates don’t work, you can still reach out about my regular rates, but heads up: regular sessions start at an hour. So if you want something quick and efficient, grab this.

You ready? Check out the first comment and let’s create some magic for your business.
