Welcome to my blog! I'm a southern MN photographer that specializes in maternity, newborn, and family photography.

So, what are you looking for in a photographer? Not sure. Well, I can only imagine that the search must be stressful. You're pregnant and now you have to think about this. You simply want someone you can trust with your tiny little human. Hi there, here I am waving my hand, as I'm extensively trained and have years of working with newborns. Newborns are my favorite, which is why I specialize in them. Also, I'm CPR certified and a licensed nurse.

What about a session that isn't the same as everyone else? You want something that is different, you want something that is designed just for you. Well, I have just that. My superior hoarding abilities means that I have a HUGE prop inventory. Because I have so many props, sessions are not the same. Check out my post here on Instagram with my most recent video of the newborn area. newborn section

How is this different from other photographers? First, you contact me to see if I'm available for your due date month. Then we get you booked so that we can have our design consultation. At the design consult (via zoom or at the studio), we design your session. You pick what you love and want to include in your session. Newborn sessions include lifestyle and posed portraits. My lifestyle area has a bed and makes for the perfect candid portraits. My posed area has many different backdrops, props, and more.

What happens after the design consult? You patiently wait for your baby to arrive and once that happens, you contact me to schedule your session. Soon enough you will be holding that tiny little human because time flies by.

How do I know what to bring to the session? I have you covered! Once you book with me, I send a prep guide so that you can best prepare. 

What if I just want baby in the photos? That is entirely up to you, but I encourage parents to get in a few. Afterall, you select what you want to purchase so if you decide to get more of baby and none of parents with baby that is up to you. Siblings, furry and/or human, are always welcome.

Don't wait to book your newborn photographer. Newborn photo shoots book out fast and I only take so many per month. While I want to take pictures of all the babies in the world, it's not possible so hurry and hit the contact button. Click here to contact me!

Have questions? Let me know, as I'm happy to help.
