Hey mama! Are you pregnant with your first baby, or your third? Either way, let me help you professionally document your beauty. This is a significant time in your life, right? I have 95% of what you need for your session. That's right. I have gorgeous gowns, dresses, body suits, gold flecks for your skin, tossing fabrics, lingerie, and more!

This couple is having their first baby and we got lucky with the mild winter here in Minnesota so they could have a few shots with the beautiful sunset. I'm a sucker for a sunset. We started at the studio and then ended the session outside. All of the gowns, dress, etc are in my client closet so there is no need to go shopping! Easy, right? We had so many beautiful photos from this session that it was hard to narrow down favorites. Do you have a favorite?

Want hair and makeup done? I can hook you up with a local artist or you can come to the session prepared. Some mamas bring a friend to help with touch-ups throughout the session, but that's up to you.

Now, don't forget to book your session. It's never too early so contact me today.

Look at this happy little family that had their newborn session at the studio! This is their first baby and they couldn't have been luckier. He's the sweetest little guy that is full of grunts and squeaks when he's snoozing away. 

Mom and dad have lived in Rochester for a few years but they're originally from Texas. So, when the grandparents came to the session I was so happy. It's not often grandparents come with but I'm more than happy to include them. Afterall, they are a huge part of family, right?

When we deisigned this session, mom said that she took care of bears in college so we needed to have little bears included in the session. And, dad is a doctor so scrubs were completely fitting. Also, the colorful quilt was made by great grandma. 

I was so happy with this session, and the beautiful album that they ordered. I can't wait to have them back in the studio again for some milestone sessions.

Don't forget to book your sessions! If you're pregnant, please contact me ASAP to schedule your maternity and newborn sessions. I book out months in advance so don't wait. Sometimes I have room for a mama that didn't know to book early. 

xoxo, Michelle

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!

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

So, what are you looking for in a photographer? Not sure. Well, I can only imagine that the search must be stressful. You're pregnant and now you have to think about this. You simply want someone you can trust with your tiny little human. Hi there, here I am waving my hand, as I'm extensively trained and have years of working with newborns. Newborns are my favorite, which is why I specialize in them. Also, I'm CPR certified and a licensed nurse.

What about a session that isn't the same as everyone else? You want something that is different, you want something that is designed just for you. Well, I have just that. My superior hoarding abilities means that I have a HUGE prop inventory. Because I have so many props, sessions are not the same. Check out my post here on Instagram with my most recent video of the newborn area. newborn section

How is this different from other photographers? First, you contact me to see if I'm available for your due date month. Then we get you booked so that we can have our design consultation. At the design consult (via zoom or at the studio), we design your session. You pick what you love and want to include in your session. Newborn sessions include lifestyle and posed portraits. My lifestyle area has a bed and makes for the perfect candid portraits. My posed area has many different backdrops, props, and more.

What happens after the design consult? You patiently wait for your baby to arrive and once that happens, you contact me to schedule your session. Soon enough you will be holding that tiny little human because time flies by.

How do I know what to bring to the session? I have you covered! Once you book with me, I send a prep guide so that you can best prepare. 

What if I just want baby in the photos? That is entirely up to you, but I encourage parents to get in a few. Afterall, you select what you want to purchase so if you decide to get more of baby and none of parents with baby that is up to you. Siblings, furry and/or human, are always welcome.

Don't wait to book your newborn photographer. Newborn photo shoots book out fast and I only take so many per month. While I want to take pictures of all the babies in the world, it's not possible so hurry and hit the contact button. Click here to contact me!

Have questions? Let me know, as I'm happy to help.

Xoxo,

Michelle

Hey! Need something to wear to your newborn, baby, maternity, family, or couples photo shoot? A few years ago I started a client closet because I get asked "what should I wear?" 99% of the time. I've also heard that it's not ideal to go shopping for a photo shoot, as it can get overwhelming. I get it, and that is exactly why I started shopping for you. I have the best dresses, gowns, body suits, etc. AND, I do have more than what is pictured, as well as new items always coming in.

Want your session in the studio or outdoors? Either way, you can wear anything from the client closet to your session in the studio or outdoors. With the lifestyle area that I have in the studio, as well as backdrops, you're all set! And for outdoors, everything goes well there too!

What about the rest of the family? Well, I have a little client closet too! My little client closet runs from newborn to 5T for boys and newborn to 14 for girls. For the bigger boys and men I suggest coordinating with whatever you select, and I can help with that as needed.

Don't wait to book your session! I book up fast and time always goes faster than we want it too. Capture those moments and have them to cherish forever!

Hugs and love!

Michelle
