Mill District Business Spotlight: Sweet Light Studio and Alli Jagoda Photography
Friday, April 29, 2011 at 6:10AMOur neighbor, Rachel, recently introduced us to Alli Jagoda, owner of Sweet Light Studio and Alli Jagoda Photography, 500 Washington Avenue South. Rachel and her husband, Wade, hired Alli for a portrait session with their newborn son. The result was a collection of treasured pictures.
Alli (above) and her husband moved to Minneapolis about 11 years ago. She's been doing commercial photography (under Alli Jagoda Photography) for 10 years, and has amassed an impressive portfolio of clients, including Target, Best Buy and Creative Kidstuff.
She mentioned her most unique engagement was with The Mall of America when they promoted the newly opened Nickelodeon Universe. The work took place both onsite and in studio, and featured kids having fun playing with their food (something normally frowned upon at the dinner table).

After becoming a parent, she discovered how fun it was to photograph kids - and Sweet Light Studio was born. Below are some samples of her portrait work. View more on her blog.

She also does work with Adsoka, another neighborhood business.
Alli moved her studio to the Mill District in 2007. She explained that while this area is a magnet for photographers (she considers it to be the best neighborhood in Minneapolis for photographers) it is cost prohibitive for most to have a studio here. By sharing a studio with 2 other photographers and a videographer, the foursome is able to have the best of both worlds. With different specialities and schedules, and large space and individual offices allows them both privacy and flexibility.
While Alli has a supply of props, she encourages clients to bring items with personal meaning for their shoot. Sessions can be held at the studio, or clients can opt to shoot around the neighborhood landmarks.
Alli can be reached at 612-460-1212 or info@sweetlight-studio.com.
Sweet Light Studio is offering an incredible deal on Groupon TODAY and TOMORROW only (April 29 and 30) for a 1-hour studio photo session and a CD of 10 high resolution images for only $69.
