Hey! When you think of a newborn girl session, what do you think of? I think of pretty details on headbands, elegant bonnets, and beautiful colors.

Meet Gemma! Isn't this baby girl just a dream!? She's so pretty with those chubby cheeks and beautiful hair. Her newborn session was a model call to photograph some of the new items that I purchased. You see, I've had a LOT of baby boys for the last several years. So, I posted and her mama contacted me for this short session so I could get photos of these new beautiful items.

When we design your session, sometimes it's easier for you to visualize what you want to incorporate with in use photos. Some are very visual and know exactly what they want, while others have no clue and go for neutrals to keep it simple. OR, you can just let me do all of the designing and be surprised. haha! Either way, I'm sure you'll love the turn out since it's of your baby.

Don't forget to book your session with me as early as possible. I book up fast but don't let that scare you if you didn't know. I might be able to fit you in, just reach out.

As always, hugs and love!

Just look at how pretty this baby girl is! Perfect skin, hair, dimples, and chubby cheeks. I see so many newborns that I'm always in awe of their different features. Her sister is a cutie as well!! I mean, these kids have amazing skin and beautiful smiles. So honored to be their photographer!

Wanna walk through booking to the product delivery of this session? 

Breanna contacted me to book the session via my website. We discussed session details and what it entailed via text. Mama booked the session and then we had a zoom design appointment to select what to use during the session. In this appointment I walk around the studio showing options and we pick out what will be used during the photo shoot. This can also be done in-person with you and I at the studio, whichever is easiest for you. Fast forward, they came in for their session. A few days later, we met back at the studio for the ordering appointment by viewing the entire gallery. After the selections were made, I completed the hand edits on each image and ordered their products. In the meantime, of waiting for products, I sent an online gallery so that digitals could be downloaded and shared with family and friends. Products arrived and were hand delivered to Sofia and her beautiful family.

I hope to see them back for milestone sessions! But for now, I'm thankful for their business and grateful I was Sofia's newborn photographer.

Hugs and love!

Props and such used in this session: Luneberry,  Hello Little Props

Weston was in for his newborn baby photo shoot session. With a seriously handsome face, light blonde hair, and adorable expressions, he pretty much stole my heart. He was a big baby, with a length of 23.5" at birth. So, when I was thinking about the props that were selected during the design consultation, I wondered if I would need to get creative. Well, he fit in everything just fine. In order to safely pose him in the cute little white chair, his dad was able to hold on to the side of him and then I was able to composite the image (merge 2 images together) so that I could eliminate dad's hand. Hand editing comes in handy so that we can get the perfect shot!

I'm pretty sure that this is the first baby I've ever seen with amazing blonde eyelashes. They were so bright, and I hope they stay that way. His mama is a beautiful blonde so I'm thinking Weston might keep those features. Although, you never know. My sister was born with almost black hair and is blonde now. haha.

As always, babies grow up fast. Moments fleet and memories fade. Capture milestones while you can. I really love when clients return for more milestone sessions, within the first year especially. Ending that baby's first year with portraits, cake, and bath time is always fun!

Welcome to my blog! I'm a southern MN photographer that specializes in maternity, newborn, and family photography.

While I have a pretty big maternity gown, dress, body suit, fabric, and more collection, this dress puts the cherry on top! It can be worn so many different ways and it's so soft. All of the mamas that have worn it so far tell me it's very comfortable. Just look at the photos to see the ways we styled it, but I'm sure there are so many more ways it cane be worn. Over the shoulder, tied around the neck, wrapped around your arms, and much more. 

Since there are so many ways to wear it, it looks as if it's a new dress every time. The designer will be adding more colors but I'm not sure when. I hope soon! In the meantime, it's in the client closet for all to use. 

Don't wait to book your session. I strive to provide an amazing experience so contact me today!

Hugs and love!

Are you looking an amazing maternity experience? A photo shoot to document your pregnancy? A one stop shop, so to speak? That's where I come in. I want you to simply enjoy your pregnancy so let me do the work.

Kendall booked her maternity and newborn session with me. As first-time parents, Kendall and her husband hadn't been through any of this before. She came in to try items on from the client closet about a week before the session. I love everything she selected! Everything that you see her wearing are items that you can wear, too! Her session was so beautiful. It's funny that I'm writing this blog post now, as she just texted me that her baby girl Charley was born on the 23rd. It goes to show that I'm not very good about blog posts. haha! So excited to meet their baby girl!

Below are so of the common questions for a maternity session.

Should I have my maternity session inside or outside? How about both! We can start at the studio and then end outdoor with the golden hour before sunset. No matter the time of year, outdoor is always possible, even if it's just for a few in the winter.

What would I wear? No need to worry about shopping, unless you really want to! I have a complementary client closet for the entire family. Beautiful designer gowns, dresses, body suits, fabrics, and more. Plus, I have men's shirts and a client closet for the littles. Bonus, I have a pop-up tent for changing so don't worry about only wearing one item!

What about hair and makeup? You can do your own, or I have someone that can come to the studio and take care of it for you.

When should I have my session? I recommend between 28-34 weeks. The main reason for this is that the further along you are, the more you want to take it easy. Plus, between 28-34 weeks is a perfect pregnant belly and usually you feel pretty good.

When should I book my session? Book it as soon as you hit your second trimester. Booking in the first trimester is ok too. But don't wait too long as I fill up fast. Hit that contact me button so we can get you on the calendar!

Remember, life is short so get those memories captured!

Hugs and love!
