We're Moving to Stillwater!!!

I'm so excited to announce that NinaMarie Studios is moving to Stillwater, MN. You can find the portrait studio and boutique in the Grand Garage at 324 S. Main Street. With the Cutest Kid Contest right around the corner, I'm busy painting the place and creating new backdrops. I'm hoping to be all set up within the first couple weeks in January. The Cutest Kid Contest will take place Jan 24-25 and I'm treating it like a weekend long Open House. If you want the full tour, you'll have to schedule a portrait session or come shopping!
