Are you on the fence about having maternity photo shoot? Well, stop thinking about it and just do it. Capture that beautiful baby bump! Sometimes life is a little hectic and now that you're pregnant I can imagine that it's much more hectic. But, do this for yourself. This is a time in your life that only happens so often.

Did you know that my client closet is full of gowns, body suits, dresses, fabrics, and much more. You and I have a design appointment via Zoom or in-person so that we can plan everything out. We select the backdrop, outdoor location, and what you will wear. I also have a client closet for littles and shirts for men so that no one gets left out. One of the things I hear a lot is the excitement of not having to shop for the session and buy something that might only be worn once. That is why I have the client closet, to help you out.

So, what is stopping you? Contact me now. I would love to chat with you and start designing your session.

Hugs and love!

For your newborn session, would you prefer the session at your home or at the portrait studio? This is one that I would think long and hard about if you're wanting a posed session. My preference is at the studio for posed but if you're wanting a lifestyle newborn session that is different type altogether. Now, having said that, I've photographed both in the client's home and in the studio. I much prefer the studio for a few different reasons. While I can appreciate the simplicity and ease of wanting the session in your home, I need to be sure I have everything that is needed when I'm there. Here are a few bullet points of why I love posed newborns in the studio.

• Everything that I need is there. I have TONS of props, wraps, backdrops, lighting, posing essentials, pillows, faux furs, various equipment, tables, heaters, etc. If I had to carry this to everyone's house I would need a van and a couple helpers, plus a few hours for setup and again for teardown. haha! I kid about needing a van and helpers, but it really is a lot.
• The studio is setup for each of my sessions, meaning nothing needs to be moved out of the way to setup my lighting, tables, etc. I need a decent sized area to put everything up and then I need to be able to move around. 
• I'm in my groove at the studio. I heat it up nicely for newborn sessions because babies need warmth. Plus, it makes for a cozy space for you to relax while I take beautiful photos of your baby.
• I have gallery samples of what you can order at the studio. You get to see my work printed and I love that because you see what you can order.

Although I love those baby sessions at the studio, everyone is different and would love to discuss your needs.

Have you ever heard someone say "you're glowing" to a pregnant mama? It is true, the glow is real! The beauty of a mama and her pregnant belly is something that should be documented in professional portraits. Make a little time for yourself and have a session with me. Plus, you will get a print credit for a newborn session. I have so many new beautiful options of things to wear from gowns, hats, bodysuits, tulle robes, and more. Does this sound like a good option for you? If so, send me a full body photo and your due date. I prefer that you're 30-32 weeks along but that's not a for sure so send me a photo and that due date.

Shopping for a new baby is so much fun, am I right?! So many different things to look at and so many options. Recently I've been stocking up on sitter outfits for the studio and have fallen in love with a few shops. Beautiful materials, great styles, and amazing quality. Do you have a favorite shop? 

Here is a favorite of mine in Edina, Minnesota called Oh Baby. The styles are endless and don't get me started on their little bonnets and diaper covers. Ekk! Don't want to go there? That's ok because you have the option to order online! Yay!

Here is another in St Louis Park, Minnesota called Baby on Grand. They have the cutest little sweaters that you'll ever see. Shopping online is also available should you want to stay at home.

Invest in your portraits is truly meaning invest in yourself. Whether your photography session is of a newborn, maternity, family, or pets, etc., it's an investment. You can't buy time, right? Don't wait, find a photographer that you love. You're putting trust into someone to care for you and your loved ones while taking beautiful photographs. This is a big deal. You need to trust the photographer, understand their process and investment info, and love their style. With that said, I invite you to call, text, or email me if you have any questions. You're worth investing in and I would love to be your photographer!

Still on the fence, so to speak? Have you ever bought something for yourself without thinking twice about the price? Or you think about the price but you value it so much that you don't care about the price? What about artwork for your home? You buy it because you know you value it. The time is now to value yourself and invest in good portraits.

Investment  - Session fee PLUS products and / or prints and /or digitals.

Session fee

• Secures the date of your session - even when you're unsure of when your session will be. There are limited spots on my calendar to ensure availability. 
• The use of studio props - With a huge assortment of newborn props, wraps, beds, and more, there is never a problem coordinating to your needs. For maternity, you'll have a collection of dresses and body suits to utilize. 
• Shooting time - the time for your session. 
• Ordering appointment - You'll come to the studio for an ordering appointment. The best part is seeing prints of your session, and you see them at the ordering appointment!

Products and Prints

Have you heard the saying "not everything is created equal"? Well, that goes for print labs. I hand selected the labs I use for all of my products and prints. My editing is in tune with their printers, which makes a huge difference in quality. I love everything I offer and know you will too! 

Folio mats - Gorgeous prints within beautiful mats that you can display in many different ways. 

Canvases - Stunning high end photographic printing on a stretched canvas. 

Albums - Beautiful books with amazing covers and thick pages. 

Seasonal products - such as ornaments, cards, etc. 

Remember, invest in yourself. Exist in portraits. Contact me today!
