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!

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!

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.

Baby girl Charolette came in for her newborn session. What a sweet baby! She was so content and adorable. Barely a peep when changing or wrapping. The session was family, sibling, and then baby alone.

Her big brother was so proud. Although the baby is the focus of a newborn session, I can't forget about the siblings. This is such a big deal for them because they are no longer the main focus, baby is competition. This new little being has come along and needs all the attention that was once focused on them. Of course, they have a new baby to love, and be the bestest of friends with, that's the great part. But, for this little blip in time, during the newborn session, I focus on them. Getting some laughs and smiles make my day.
