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 […]

Getting to capture this outdoor family picture session was such a treat. This sweet little session is part of my First Year Collection Collective with this family of three.

These newborn family pictures were such a joy. This was my fourth session with this sweet family. It is always such an honor to be able to capture a family year after year and for big milestones. My latest session with them was for their second son’s in-home family newborn pictures. It brought back so […]

MEET Kristen

Back in December, I pulled out my dad’s old film camera that he purchased while he was traveling in the Navy. Since then I have taken it on a few vacations with us and have loved slowing down before clicking the shutter and taking everything in around me. My friend Rochelle, who is an incredible […]

“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” -Agatha Christie It has been a joy to watch my friends raise their children these past couple of years. Many of them […]

Minneapolis St.Paul family photos in home by Kristen Dyer

Two weeks ago I had the honor of photographing Andrea and her girls for an in-home maternity session. I have known Andrea for years! We went to the same hometown school, worked at the same photography studio in-town, photographed each others weddings, and began photographing weddings together. I loved have watching her family grow over […]

I met Ashley when we attended the same college, and I was a TA in one of her classes. A few years later she introduced me to my now husband Ryan! Last year, we met for tea just a few days before her due date. She mentioned how she really wanted me to photograph the […]

I met Kathryn while photographing a wedding last year. She and two other ladies run a wedding and event planning business in Minneapolis called Paperwhite Weddings and Events. They have a strong love for eucalyptus, neutral tones, and greens just like myself so I knew we were going to get along just great. 😉 We […]

Life gets so busy it’s one of those things that can just fall off the radar. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, this is an opportunity to give the perfect […]

I met Laura last spring at a photographers’ workshop and heard that she was having twins! I was thrilled for her and her growing family. Unfortunately, our paths didn’t cross for the rest of her pregnancy. I was so surprised to see her at my friend’s calligraphy class. It was fun to hear about her transition […]

I had the privilege of meeting and photographing little Isla for her newborn session along with her parents and big brother Finn. It was a joy being able to capture their first family photo and seeing them love on their newest little addition! Congrats Fossey family she is absolutely perfect!
