Community Service
"We are tremendously grateful for the blessings we enjoy by living and working in this community. It is equally important for us to share the blessings with others."
Throughout the year, Paul Swenson Photography gives back to the community in many ways. We provide donations, gift certificates, scholarships, and now our new opportunity to share our love with others in their time of need.
Now I Lay ME Down To Sleep,
is a non-profit organization that is committed to assisting parents and families going through the difficult time when they experience an early infant loss. Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep connects families with photographers, who provide them with a complimentary DVD and an 8x10 portrait of their baby.
We are both honored and humbled to be able to provide this gift of loving memory to the families in their time of loss”.

About the Photographer
Anyone can take a “picture”, but it takes something special to create an artistic heirloom.
For over 33 years Paul Swenson and his studio has been a Historic Downtown Faribault, located at 327 Central Avenue. He has had the privilege of combining technical skills and artistic talent to preserve memories that touch so many hearts for generations to come.
Paul has met the high standards of excellence set by the Professional Photographers of America, the Minnesota Professional Photographers Association, the Twin Cities Professional Photographers Association, and the exclusive Senior Photographers International. He is a certified photographer recognized for advanced education, photographic competition, and service recipient of numerous regional, state and national awards.
The reason Paul has been so successful after 31+ years is his dedication to detail, timeliness, reliability, and the relationships that are created with his customers. He understands the anxieties of children, the questions of high school seniors, and the concerns of family. He makes it easy to do by meeting everyone before the portrait session, finding out what you want, helping you with your clothing choices, colors, styles, and personally wanting you to look your best
In this day and age, it’s hard to find people who really stand behind what they do. For almost 31 years now, Paul Swenson has gone above and beyond his customer’s delightful expectations. He wants to create something for each customer to be treasured for generations to come.
Paul proudly states: “I believe my guarantee is the only one of a kind offered by any studio. Here is our guarantee to you.”
“You must be absolutely thrilled (not just satisfied), When you view your portraits for the very first time. Love them, or you will get every penny back – No questions asked, and no hard feelings!"
– Paul
