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!

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!

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 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.

How adorable is this baby boy?! His mama, Emily, is the Executive Director for the Blooming Prairie Chamber of Commerce. I joined the Chamber to get to know the community better and Emily reached out to me with the warmest welcome! Soon after that I found out she was pregnant with her second baby. Fast forward to this sweet baby boy coming in to the studio. I couldn't get over how alert he was. Not only was he awake most of the time, he actually was tracking my every move - just soaking everything in. So smart and sweet!! His big sister was with so of course we had to get her in some. She is a hoot - wanting to hug, love, and hold her baby! As you can see, these kids are super cute. I'm so happy they came in!!

So, mama, if you're pregnant or if you've had your baby, contact me to get in for your session. I usually book up a few months ahead but I might be able to get you in or find another photographer. Don't forget to capture this precious time of their life!

Hugs and love! Michelle
