As a mom, I know that when you’re expecting your first baby, you have a to-do list that is a mile long. That’s why I’ve put together some of the top questions that Minneapolis moms ask us about newborn sessions. When should I book my newborn session? As soon as possible! Many expecting mamas will […]

It was a joy to photograph this newly-expanded family who welcomed Baby O last month! They joined me in the light-filled studio for a great morning session, where I was able to incorporate his big sister smiling away during our time together. Baby O was so relaxed, and possibly the first newborn I’ve ever photographed […]

I had the pleasure of photographing Baby K at 4 weeks old. Even though this is outside the “typical” newborn window of photos (usually recommended in the first 2-3 weeks), you’ll see that he tuckered out and slept through most of our time together! I love that we did a combination of indoor and outdoor […]

Welcome to the world, baby C! He is the newest member of my First Year Collection, where I will get to capture him throughout the next year. It’s always amazing to see my First Year clients change so much over the course of a year! I was able to photograph Baby C when he was […]

I was lucky to meet Baby E on a beautiful spring morning a few weeks ago. It was so fun to watch this family of four interact with each other, and I can safely say that mom, dad and big brother are completely in love with Baby E. I especially loved seeing the siblings together […]

I was so excited to join this family in their home for their newborn session. Baby L was so sweet and loved on by her big brother and sister! We had a great time getting special photos of baby L with the big kids, and then just with mom and dad. The natural light flowing […]

I know that one of the most challenging parts of a family photo session is pulling together the outfits. From wondering what the weather will be like, to whether your toddler will wear the outfit you’ve carefully chosen for them, there are many unknowns! I always recommend choosing simple, neutral, light colored clothing. These colors […]

Morning newborn sessions are an absolute favorite of mine. I already love the morning, because #coffee, and the light is often so soft and beautiful. Add a precious, squishy newborn with doting parents to that, and I get so excited to capture images that will be heirlooms for the family. This session with baby J […]

This spring has been full of beautiful new babies, and I’m so thankful to have been able to photograph this sweet family again. This time, baby J had finally arrived and it felt like a celebration of his new life to capture these joyful moments. The best part about photographing families with their newborns is […]

Little baby J arrived just as the stay-at-home order was issued here in Minnesota. His parents waited patiently (and I did too!) to get some beautiful newborn photos in late May. We found a beautiful location in Excelsior where there was tons of space – social-distancing – and sunshine for this sweet family session. Baby […]
