Hey! What do you think about when you hear maternity session? Do you think about family? Do you think about mom and dad? Well, I think about all of that. Maternity photo shoots obviously include mom because she's the pregnant one, but we cannot forget dad and other children. This is a celebration of having a baby and capturing the beautiful thing a woman's body can do!

Did you know that I take photos in the studio and outdoors for maternity sessions? This mama was excited for both, even though the outdoor portion was really windy and cold. She is pregnant with her second baby and wanted to capture the beauty of being pregnant.

Plus, I have a large client closet with gowns, dresses, fabrics, body suits, and more for your maternity session. And I don't leave dad or the littles out because I have shirts for men and clothes for kids. Of course you are able to wear your own, but if you don't feel like shopping, this works out well. We go over this in your design appointment.

For having part of your session outdoors, I have a few locations that I like to use near the studio. But, we can plan accordingly and drive to other locations. It all depends on what you want your outdoor background / surrounding area to look like. We will also discuss this in your design appointment.

Although I said earlier that this outdoor session was cold and windy, I think a storm was rolling in, it was so good!! What an adorable family they are!!

Don't wait to book your session. I book up fast and don't want you to miss out on portraits at this beautiful time in your life.

Hi there! Here is a maternity session for ya! Every session is different, every session makes me so happy! This beautiful mama, Bianca, was so happy to be having her second baby. When we were designing her session, she wanted to be sure it wasn't just about her because family is so important. Azul, her first son, didn't want anything to do with the gold leaf, but that's ok because the series of photos are so good.

The first part of the session was at my studio. I have many gowns, dresses, body suits, and fabrics that can be used. This way you focus on the session and your life, rather than having to shop for items you might only wear to this maternity photo shoot.

Then, we went to a gorgeous outdoor location just before sunset. It was the perfect end to the session.

I know that I blogged this after I blogged baby boy's newborn session, but if you want, you can check that session out to see that he looks just like his big bro.

Don't wait to book your session, contact me today. Booking maternity and newborn together is a perfect combination. Plus, we can chat about milestone sessions in the baby's first year.

Meet baby Rome here: Rome!

Hey there! It's Michelle, your maternity and newborn photographer. Meet Rome! He is seriously a mini me of his big brother. His big brother's name is Azul. I love how unique they are! They both have big chubby cheeks and perfect skin. I'm in love!

I'm not sure I even blogged about the maternity session I had with Rome's mama?! Oh boy! I have some catching up to do. They are the sweetest family and I just love them.

Did you know that booking your newborn session while you're in your second trimester is the best? Yes, because we can get all of the session planning complete and you can do all of the other things you need to do before baby arrives. But, did you also know that if you didn't know to book or simply forgot, I actually try very hard to fit you in.

Don't wait, book your session now. Want to chat about it? Contact me and we sure can.

I strive to provide the best experience possible with images that you are sure to love forever!

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

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

This newborn session was so precious! Such a pretty little face with perfectly chubby cheeks. This session was all about her, just baby girl alone. I met her mama and her siblings at my Santa sessions, where I noticed mom had a baby bump but didn't say anything. She contacted me to book the newborn session shortly after and I'm so happy she did! 

We used a few of my many props, the beautiful pink flokati, some of my favorite knit sets and wraps. This little girl is going to be spoiled I'm sure. So happy I was able to be her newborn photographer.

Don't wait to book your session. 

Hugs and love!
