As a newborn and family photographer who serves Edina, St. Paul and Minneapolis, my in-home newborn photoshoots are a gathering of family, including toddler aged siblings. Parents often ask me how prepare their home for the session, and for ways we can safely incorporate toddler aged children side by side with their newborn. Below are […]

Over the years, I’ve photographed families in a variety of locations, including local parks. But over time, I’ve noticed a shift in how families approach their sessions. There’s more intentionality, connection, and memories made during a photoshoot. Parents are playing fun, silly games with their children, and siblings are fully focused on each other, drawn […]

In Minneapolis and the surrounding areas, it’s not uncommon for indoor newborn family photos to take place at home in favor of a studio. Families are often looking for a stress-free experience in a familiar environment where they can share moments that result in stunning photos to print and hang on the walls of their […]

As a newborn photographer in the St. Paul area, I work with families exclusively in their homes to capture the beautiful moments of welcoming a new baby into the family.

There is something so incredibly special about newborn pictures. Being invited into a client’s home to capture this magical moment is such a gift. It’s even better when the newborn pictures session is with a family, I’ve known for quite a few years. Over the last several years, I’ve had a front row seat to […]

I understand, life is busy. So busy that it’s easy to push something off that you’ve been meaning to do, like scheduling a family portrait session. Time and time again I hear either one of these two phrases: “We have never had a professional family portrait session, I have been meaning to schedule one.” “Life […]

A beautiful and sunny Fall day was made even sweeter by capturing these family pictures in Lakeville. If you have been following along on my Instagram or blog for the past few years, I am sure you recognize this family of three. I have had the joy of photographing them over 10 times in the […]

I know it can feel like your to-do list is never ending before the baby arrives and booking your newborn photography session may not seem high on the list. From picking out the nursery décor to checking out pediatricians, I know there’s a lot to do. However, reaching out when you are still pregnant is […]

“What is the best age to get newborn portraits taken?” This is one of the main questions I get from clients. Typically, I suggest scheduling your newborn portraits when the baby is between 2-5 weeks old. While there are factors like baby arriving earlier than expected or mom needing extra time for healing, this is […]

I am absolutely in love after this in-home Edina newborn session with a sleepy Baby C. 😍 It was a calm and peaceful  morning that was just perfect for getting some photos of this new family of three. I met these first-time parents-to-be this past summer when we did a maternity session at Arneson Acres. […]

I have been photographing Logan since the day he was born! I had the privilege of being in the OR room when he was born! It has been such a joy watching him grow up over the years and photographing so many milestones. Loved this morning session of him and his mama!

My friend Jacqueline from Collected & Co. was in the studio last month with her girls and some of her beautiful rentals. We did a little session to showcase my Mommy + Me Mother’s Day sessions that were to take place in the studio next month. However, with COVID and to keep everyone protected they […]

Last year, I got to photograph so many wonderful families and mommy + me sessions. I can’t help but capture a handful of portraits of momma’s with their littles as this time is always so fleeting. I am sharing just a few super sweet snuggles, kisses and in-between moments with their babies. I loves all […]

I have had the privilege of photographing this sweet family a few times this past year. I was lucky enough to be in the OR room the day they welcomed their son Logan into their lives, then a few weeks later for an in-home session at their brand new home in Apple Valley, MN. A […]
