A Legacy in Every Frame™

Authentic. Timeless. Storytelling through the lens.

Photographs shaped by light and stillness — capturing real stories across Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Minneapolis–St. Paul-based portrait and lifestyle photographer, specializing in capturing genuine, unforgettable moments.

Capturing Moments, Creating Legacies

Most people don’t love being in front of a camera—and I get it. That’s why my approach to portrait photography is all about making you feel comfortable, confident, and, most importantly, like yourself.


As a professional portrait photographer based in the Twin Cities, I specialize in capturing authentic images for high school seniors, professionals, families, and life’s unforgettable moments. Whether it’s a senior session, branding photos for your business, or capturing an important milestone, my goal is to create images that feel natural and tell your unique story.

Minneapolis–St. Paul-based portrait and lifestyle photographer, specializing in capturing genuine, unforgettable moments.

Most people don’t love being in front of the camera—and I get it. That’s why I’ve built my entire approach around making sure every person I photograph feels comfortable, confident, and like themselves in front of the lens.


I’m Steve Lunden, a portrait photographer based in Minneapolis, MN. Photography isn’t just my job—it’s my passion, my way of connecting with people, and the way I help preserve legacies in every frame. Whether it’s a high school senior stepping into their next chapter, a business professional looking for a bold new headshot, or a family freezing a moment in time, I believe that photography is about telling your story with honesty and authenticity.
