About Molly

I fell in love with photography while attending Michigan State University, and I’ve never looked back. From the first click, I was hooked on the way a photo could freeze time—and bring joy again and again.

I especially love exploring the gorgeous lakes, trails, and parks all around the Twin Cities, and I often take my clients to these spots for sessions that feel natural, relaxed, and real.

This isn’t just my job—it’s my calling. I feel truly honored to be part of these milestone moments with you.

Hi there! I’m Molly Durkin—photographer, mom, wife, GiGi, and proud owner of Molly Durkin Photography. For years, I’ve had the absolute joy of capturing bright, genuine moments for high school seniors and families across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and all the charming suburbs nearby.

 
I have a big loveable chocolate lab.

I live for coffee in the morning.

I love Minnesota/Wisconsin —even in the depths of winter.

I have a big, supportive family that fills my world with love and laughter.

My grandkids call me GiGi, and it’s my favorite name of all.
