Duluth & Hermantown Family Photographer | Twin Ports MN

Family photographs become more valuable with every passing year. They capture the laughter, personalities, milestones, and relationships that make your family unique, creating memories that can be shared for generations.


At Twin Ports Photographer, family photography is about more than posing everyone in front of a camera. It's about documenting genuine connections, natural interactions, and the little moments that often become the most treasured memories.



Based in Hermantown, Minnesota, Joe Cohen proudly provides family photography throughout the Twin Ports region and surrounding communities within a 50-mile service radius. As a college-trained photographer and sole proprietor, Joe works one-on-one with every family to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience and timeless portraits you'll be proud to display in your home.

One-Hour Family Photography Session


The One-Hour Family Session provides plenty of time to create a beautiful collection of portraits while allowing everyone to feel relaxed and comfortable.


Session Includes


  • One hour of professional family photography
  • Personalized session planning
  • A curated online gallery of professionally edited images
  • High-resolution image options available
  • Final images available for purchase based on your selections


Starting at $400


Each session is thoughtfully planned to provide a variety of family portraits, smaller groupings, individual images, and candid moments that tell your family's story.

Celebrate Every Stage of Life


Families are constantly growing and changing, making every season worth remembering.


Whether you're welcoming a new baby, updating annual family portraits, celebrating grandparents and grandchildren together, or simply taking time to preserve your family's story, professional photography allows you to hold onto these moments long after they've passed.


Every family has its own personality, traditions, and dynamic. That's why each session is personalized to reflect who you are rather than relying on stiff poses or identical photographs.



The goal is to create images that feel genuine and authentic while capturing the love you share.

A Relaxed Photography Experience


One of the biggest concerns families have is whether young children—or even adults—will enjoy having their photos taken.


Joe's approach is designed to make everyone feel comfortable from the very beginning. Rather than rushing through poses, sessions move at a natural pace, allowing genuine smiles and interactions to happen organically.


Children are encouraged to be themselves, parents can relax, and families are free to interact naturally. This creates photographs filled with authentic expressions instead of forced smiles.



The result is a gallery that feels personal, joyful, and true to your family.

Beautiful Outdoor Family Portrait Locations


The Twin Ports area offers countless scenic locations for family photography throughout every season.


Whether your family prefers waterfront views, wooded trails, neighborhood parks, open fields, or another meaningful location, Twin Ports Photographer can recommend settings that complement your family's style.


From colorful autumn leaves and blooming spring flowers to warm summer evenings and snowy winter landscapes, every season offers unique opportunities to create beautiful family portraits.



If there's a special location that's meaningful to your family, Joe is happy to photograph your session there as well.
