We have a great relationship with Kai salon in Champlin and recommend getting hair and make-up done there before your session. We also work with Jenson’s/iappeal in Anoka, where they will help you shop for any session you have booked with us. We have worked together to offer exclusive hair, make-up and clothing deals when you book your session with us! Combining all three things together can make for an ultimate portrait session!

We affectionately call ourselves the “Cove Girls”. Christine, Barbie & Sheri!
Christine, studio owner, began her photography career 13 years ago when her love for art, relationships, and storytelling became insatiable. Her thirst has yet to be quenched and 6 years ago, her vision of an “Artist’s Cove” became a reality when she re-invented her business from a studio centered around wedding photography, to a fine art portrait studio. Sheri joined the studio 5 years ago as a photographer and has brought a fresh eye to The Artist Cove team. Barbie joined our team last July, and knows first hand all about being the mom of a graduating senior. Barbie, was first one of our dear clients and jumped at the chance to join our team last year. Barbie is the friendly voice on the phone when you call, the face behind the emails and the patient person who helps you make your portrait decisions.
The ladies of The Artist Cove have photographed hundreds of seniors, families, babies and children with a goal of providing each person with an unforgettable portrait experience. Visit our Blog or FACEBOOK Page for the latest promos, favorite sessions, contests, and artist ramblings.
Our studio is located in the “Old Milk Factory” on the corner of 4th and pleasant street just north of downtown Anoka. Stop by to say hi! We can’t wait to meet you!
