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!

Baby Brooks came in for a newborn session and holy moly is he cute! His beautiful mama said they had been on quite the journey to have this perfect little dude. This is one that is truly worth the wait! 

For this session I used some of my new items. If you didn't know already, I'm obsessed with newborn props, wraps, etc. The wrap and bonnet combo on the little bed is sooooo soft. I love it so much! Also, the little wrap and bonnet in the bucket was perfect. In love!

Who doesn't love a mama and her baby?! Just look at them. The love just pours out of her for this precious little being. 

Reminder to book your newborn session as soon as you're in your second trimester. Sometimes I can get you in later along, but I can't guarantee it. Even if you just want to chat about it, hit me up with the contact button.

Adorable newborn twins came to the studio! This family must be both thrilled and exhausted with twice the diaper changes and feedings. Plus, they have a toddler! Working with twins has always been so much fun and these girls were no exception. You would think it would be twice the work, making it twice as hard, but I think most of the time twins are just as easy as one baby. With these girls, one was so laid back while the other wanted to be awake so she didn't miss anything. I loved it and I hope to get more twins in soon!

Baby Maddix came to the studio for his newborn session! I was so excited to meet him!! I met his parents at the maternity session a few months before. We started with Maddix cuddling his mama in the lifestyle bed area for some of the cutest mommy and me photos. After cuddling mama, it was just Maddix for the rest of the session. His mama picked a few buckets, a blue flokati, and a little bed for prop posing. Since some babies don't like to be posed with their chin on their hands in a bucket, I try three times and move on if they're not having it. I tried a fourth time with him and I'm so happy that I did because those images are just the cutest! And the little bed...so cute!

When I found out that his parents loved sports, I ordered some felted props to use in his session. Aubrey's Felties did such a great job on a football and a hockey set. We also used the cute little deer from Dear my Luna. Thinking about it now, I should have slipped a can of Spam into one of the sets because his parents work for Hormel. haha. 

I loved this session so much! So, all the mamas out there, this is your reminder. If you haven't booked your newborn session, do it now. These babies grow like weeds. They are only little for so long.

Check this adorable couple out! Mama is a vet tech and dad works in road construction. Plus, they have 3 dogs at home; their first kids. ;) The entire session was a blast. We laughed, walked around enjoying the beauty of the park, and laughed some more. We heard some barred owls, saw a mama deer with her twin fawns, and saw a beautiful sunset.

Oh, my little pop up tent came in handy once again, because, as you can see mama has 3 different dresses on. She was able to swap dresses in the pop up tent. AND, all of these dresses are from my client closet (Client Closet) that is there for you to use if you want. She looks so beautiful!!

Well, baby boy, I'm excited for your arrival. Maybe I can convince your mama and daddy to bring the dogs to the studio for some mugshots. Yes, I do mugshot photos (just a sort of headshot) at newborn photo sessions. I can picture it now in the nursery, 4 mugshots. You know, baby boy and his dog siblings. <3

Remember, life is short so get those memories captured!

Hugs and love!
