As a Minnesota maternity newborn photographer, I love that my job keeps me on my toes. Sometimes I’m roaming around in the great outdoors – which has me literally rolling on the ground getting the best shots – and sometimes I shoot in the private sanctuary of my studio, where the lighting is always perfect and there are zero distractions from the rest of the world. No matter where I’m shooting, though, I always strive to capture those precious first moments of life in a way that is both beautiful and honest. It’s an incredible honor to be entrusted with such an important task, and I don’t take it lightly. Every time I click the shutter, I know I’m creating a memory that will be remembered for a lifetime.

I had the pleasure of photographing a maternity session recently in my Minneapolis studio. The mom-to-be was absolutely stunning, and I was able to capture some truly gorgeous images. The lighting in the studio was perfect, and Mom was so natural and relaxed in front of the camera. It was a really lovely session, and I'm so excited to share the results with the happy parents-to-be. Congrats, Mom and Dad and big sister!
