Newborn

For the moms who want to remember everything but aren’t exactly sleeping

Minnesota Newborn Photographer

Because These Days Don’t Come Twice

The newborn stage has a way of feeling both endless and impossibly brief. One minute you are memorizing every tiny detail, and the next, your baby has already changed.

My Minnesota Newborn Photography sessions are designed for families who want to remember this season beautifully, but do not want the process of documenting it to feel like one more thing to manage. 

"These are so perfect! Thank you so much for capturing these special early days/hours!"

— Erin Vargas

"We love having these keepsakes of our daughter's first year of life"

— Hannah D

Signature Newborn Sessions

The Newborn Signature Experience is designed for families who want beautiful, honest images of this chapter with guidance, calm, and very little stress. Whether you choose a studio session, an in-home session, or a Fresh 48 hospital session, the experience is built to feel easy from the start.

My approach is baby-led, which means there is room for feeding, changing, soothing, and all the pauses a newborn naturally needs. Nothing is rushed, and you do not need a baby who sleeps perfectly or siblings who cooperate on command for the session to be successful. I guide you through the process in a way that feels easy and natural, while still creating polished, beautiful images you will be proud to live with.

What makes this experience different is how supported you feel from beginning to end. I offer a curated studio wardrobe for mothers, babies, and young siblings, which takes a major decision off your plate in a season when your brain already has enough going on. I blend gentle direction with a documentary eye, so your images feel refined without feeling stiff. You will leave with more than digital files sitting on your phone.

You will have photographs that hold onto the feeling of this chapter and artwork that lets those memories stay visible in your home. If you want newborn photos that are beautiful, thoughtful, and handled with care from start to finish, this is exactly what these sessions are designed to be.

My Northeast Minneapolis studio is intentionally simple and peaceful, with a curated wardrobe for moms and kids, thoughtful styling support, and a space that feels calm the moment you walk in. There are soft places to land and little comforts for little people, because small details make a big difference when you’re parenting.

No props. No forced smiles. No awkward posing that doesn’t feel like you. Just images that land somewhere between real and refined.

Frequently Asked Questions

minnesota newborn Photography

arrow

When should I book my newborn session?

Most families book during the second or third trimester so everything is in place before baby arrives. We use your due date as a guide, then confirm the exact timing once your baby is here.

What if my baby cries or needs to be fed during the session?

That is completely normal and already built into the way I photograph newborn sessions. These sessions are baby-led, so there is always time for feeding, changing, cuddling, and settling as needed.

What should we wear for our newborn photos?

You do not have to figure that out alone. I offer a curated studio wardrobe for mothers, babies, and young siblings to make the process easier and help everything feel cohesive without a lot of extra effort.

Do newborn sessions take place in the studio or at home?

You can choose the setting that feels best for your family. I offer studio newborn sessions, in-home newborn sessions, and Fresh 48 hospital sessions, each with a slightly different feel but the same thoughtful, guided experience.

Can siblings and parents be included?

Absolutely. Newborn sessions are designed to include the people who make this season what it is, and parent and sibling images are often some of the most meaningful ones from the session.

What do we do with the photos after the session?

After viewing your gallery, you can choose digital images, prints, albums, or wall art based on what works best for your family. I want your photographs to be enjoyed in a real, tangible way, not forgotten in a folder on your phone.
