Newborn photos with dog

I’m so excited to share this sweet in-home newborn session in Saint Paul on today’s blog! This in-home newborn session with a dog was so much fun. Not only did I get to meet a wonderful, easygoing couple, but I got to capture them as first-time parents to a sweet baby girl. This morning session […]

For years, I always wanted to be a ‘reader’. But making the space and time to read wasn’t a big priority in my day. Finally, about five years ago, I set a goal to read 10 books in the year. I quickly surpassed my goal and started a small book club with some girlfriends, leading […]

These timeless in-home newborn photos are one I’ve been so excited to share. On a quiet and bright morning, I arrived at their south Minneapolis for this newborn session. I love being able to capture families in the comfort of their own home and where they feel like themselves most. Especially after welcoming a little […]

Edina summer family pictures with this crew of five were quite different then the last time I had the chance to photograph them. Previously, it was quite chilly so we had to have coats on standby! But this time, I got to get photographs of them on a beautiful sunny Minnesota evening in dresses and […]

What should my newborn wear? A big question I get from moms when I have a consultation call with them is “what should I dress my newborn in for photos”? I always reply to keep it simple. When you book your session, you will a receive a newborn welcome guide. It goes over how to […]
