Newborn Family Portrait Photography

I’ve worked with Jordan + Elliot for awhile, ever since their engagement and wedding several years ago. They recently added a new member to their family when their sweet daughter Presley was born. They wanted to celebrate the occasion with a newborn and family session, and I was so excited to catch up with them and meet Presley!

We met up at my studio on a chilly autumn day, and Presley was SO adorable, and such a rockstar too! She was so happy and cooperative and barely fussed at all. We started with wardrobe coordination, and then captured photos of the three of them, two of them, and then some of Presley alone with her cute custom-made name blanket. They all had a great time, and we got so many cute photos of them together!

After the photoshoot, Jordan + Elliot chose a photo album of their favorites as well as a beautiful wall art collection to display over their fireplace. Everything looked stunning, as per usual – all handmade from my artwork vendor Graphistudio, located in Italy.

Thank You!

Jordan + Elliot, thank you so much for working with me for your beautiful family photography! I had so much fun working with you again, and I hope you love your portraits and wall art!

Amanda gave me a call one day – she and her husband Scott just had their first baby, Harlowe, a few months ago, and they wanted some family photos and artwork to capture this amazing time in their lives. It was perfect to celebrate the beginnings of their adorable little family!

Baby Photography MN

Amanda, Scott and baby Harlowe came out to my studio one morning. Harlowe was dressed in the most adorable green velvet dress along with a beautiful flower crown! She was a pretty curious about the studio and all the crazy props and equipment, and was very cooperative with mommy and daddy. She was being so adorable, including showing off how much she loved rubbing her face in her daddy’s beard!

After their session (and Harlowe’s nap) they returned to my studio so they could review the photos from their session and choose their favorites. They ended up with a beautiful Graphistudio photo album of their session, along with a few matted fine art prints of their favorites. They are so gorgeous!

Thank You!

Thank you, Schierman family, for working with me for your baby photography. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your Graphistudio photographs and photo album!

I’ve worked with Safiyyah + Rory for several years now, ever since their Aria wedding several years ago. They recently added a new member to their family as their second child Amara was born! They wanted to celebrate the occasion with a newborn and family session, and would also be capturing their son Remy’s 4-year-old portraits as well. We had captured Remy’s newborn photos as well, so this would be an awesome addition to their collection.

The Ford family came out to work in my St Paul studio when Amara was about two weeks old. We worked together for about an hour and captured some amazing photos of all four of them, as well as each of them with Amara, and of course Amara alone. Remy was an absolute ham and perfect model for me, always cooperative and flashing the perfect smile right on cue.

After their session, we reviewed their photos, and then they chose their favorites and we designed their art pieces. They ended up with a photo album of their favorite photos, along with a stunning collection of wall art. Everything was so beautiful, and they were so excited when they saw the final artwork in real life! As usual, all of my artwork is crafted in Italy by Graphistudio, and it was just spectacular.

Thank You!

Safiyyah, Rory, Remy and Amara, thank you so much for working with me for your beautiful family photography! I had so much fun working with you, and I hope you love your portraits and wall art!

I worked with Raina + Neal for their maternity photography earlier this spring at my St Paul studio. We had so much fun and they ended up with a number of heirloom prints from their session. Then the day finally arrived when their little peanut Tyler made his debut! I was so excited to meet him and work with them again for their newborn and family portraits!

Baby Photography

The three of them arrived at my studio, and I could see how much of a sleeping rockstar little Tyler was. He tried so hard to stay awake and figure out his strange new surroundings, but then he fell fast asleep and very compliant with all our requests lol! We captured photos of him alone, wearing some of their favorite family heirloom outfits. Then we also captured photos of him with mom alone, and then dad alone, as well as all three of them together. We all had such an awesome time, and Tyler was so cute and cooperative!

Thank You!

Thank you, Kelly family, for working with me as your newborn photographer. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your photographs! I cannot wait to see your beautiful heirloom portrait box in person too.

I met Maddie several years ago at a wedding we worked together. We became fast friends! I was so excited when I found out that she and William were expecting a new addition to their family in a few short months! And then I was lucky enough to be able to work with them for their maternity photography as well as their newborn photography at my St Paul studio.

Baby Photography MN

Maddie and William brought their sweet toddler Freya as well as their newest bundle of joy, Gannon, to my St Paul photo studio. We worked together for just about an hour, or as long as the kiddos would last. We found some great wraps and wardrobe colors that would work well together. Then we had plenty of time for photos with mommy, daddy AND big sister. Little Mr G was the perfect level of sleepy and content to go along with pretty much anything. We captured photos of the four of them together, each parent with G alone, a few with big sis, and then little Gannon himself.

Thank You!

I met Jing + Alex when we worked together for their wedding photography last year. They were so much fun, and I loved working with them on their amazing wedding day (featuring not one, but TWO beautiful ceremonies – both a Chinese Wedding Tea Ceremony at the St Paul Hotel and an American-style wedding ceremony at Como Park Conservatory.) Both events were absolutely spectacular! So naturally I was ecstatic when they contacted me to work together for their newborn baby photos. Things were a little different as the global pandemic was raging, but we opted to keep things safer by having their photoshoot at Como Park, and we had an amazing day!

MN Baby Photography

We met up on a beautiful early June morning at Como Park. We had so much fun working around the Frog Pond, near the Conservatory, for all of their photos. Little Ted was a champ at being our model, and we had lots of time for his portraits, as well as photos with mommy and daddy. Later on, we held their Cinematic Reveal and Design Presentation. Alex + Jing loved the photos and narrowed down to their favorite finalists. They opted for a beautiful photo album to capture their entire session. I cannot wait to see it when it arrives from Italy!

Thank You!

Thank you, Wilson family, for working with me as your newborn photographer. I had so much fun working with you three, and I am so excited to see your album in person!

I met Addie several years ago at a wedding vendor event. We became friends pretty soon afterward. I was so excited when I found out that she and Kory were expecting a new addition to their family in a few short months! And then I was lucky enough to be able to work with them for their maternity photography as well as their newborn photography at my St Paul studio.

Baby Photography MN

Addie and Kory brought sweet little Genevieve to meet me at the studio. We worked together for just about an hour, which was plenty of time for baby snuggles, swaddles and photos. Little G was the perfect level of sleepiness with curiosity mixed in (just long enough to open an eye to see what we were up to, then she could go back to sleep.) We captured photos of the three of them together, each parent with G alone, and then little Genevieve herself. We even had a few photos with grandma who was visiting from Idaho!

After their session, I had them out to my St Paul studio for their Cinematic Presentation + Design Consultation. A number of photos that were their favorites, it was a tough choice to narrow down. They ended with a set of digital files – excited to create holiday cards and birth announcements!

Thank You!

Newborn Photo Session MN

As a newborn photographer, I love getting a chance to work with my clients again after their big day. I especially love when they contact me to photograph their growing family. Naturally, I was ecstatic when Safiyyah + Rory asked me to photograph their Como Park maternity session AND their newborn session. (I had previously worked on their 2014 Aria wedding photography!)

First, we worked together in mid-July for their Como Park maternity session. Then, when the adorable Remy made his appearance in mid-August, we met again a few weeks later for their Minneapolis newborn photography at Safiyyah + Rory’s home.

Newborn Photography

Our newborn session was so much fun! Rory’s mom was visiting from Iowa so she was able to spend lots of quality time with Remy. And Maddox was there mugging for the camera whenever he could. Remy did a great job holding it together – either napping or else snuggling with mom, dad or grandma on cue. We were able to work both in his bedroom as well as their dining room with their awesome farm-style wooden table, sheer lacy curtains, and super cool “Ford Family” tub!

Viewing/Ordering Session

Holding our Viewing/Ordering session, it was a tough choice to narrow down the photographs to Safiyyah + Rory’s “best-of-the-best”, but we were finally able to narrow down and create a beautiful newborn/family photo album for them. I am so excited to see it in final form when it is sent to me from Graphistudio in Italy!

Safiyyah + Rory, thank you so much for choosing to work with me on both your Como Park maternity photography as well as your newborn photography. I always love working with you guys. It was a joy to meet little Remy, and I wish you every happiness in your new lives together as a family!

Today I’m posting about a newborn photography session I worked on with the Gangl family several years ago. I photographed their session before I had my blog up and running, so I never posted their session until now!

Little Aurelia was born in 2014. Once Leah and Jim settled at home with Aurelia, I worked with the three of them for their lifestyle newborn session. We photographed them spending time together around their home on a beautiful mid-fall day. We spent a lot of time in the natural light of their home, in both the living room and family room as well as Aurelia’s nursery. I especially loved getting photos of the three of them cuddling close with Aurelia sound asleep. Photos of Leah as well as Jim holding her closely were absolutely adorable. I also enjoyed capturing a few pictures of Aurelia swaddled, cuddled up and sleeping soundly.

Photograph Viewing and Ordering

Once Leah and Jim reviewed their final photos, they chose several photos as their favorites. I created a gorgeous canvas triptych of a few of their favorite photos from the session. They looked so awesome on their walls!

Thank you so much, Leah and Jim, for working with me as your newborn photographer. I had so much fun! And I’m so happy to watch your family grow! Fast forward a couple of years later, and now Aurelia has a little sister, Beatrix! They also have a new baby on the way!

Continuing on with finding sessions to blog about that I never blogged about from my past: today I’m posting about a newborn photography session I worked on with the Ranheim family a few years ago.

Minneapolis Newborn Photographer

Little Mya was born in 2013 – such a sweetie! Once Suanne and James settled at home with little Mya, I worked with the three of them around their home, photographing them on a beautiful late-winter day. We spent a lot of time in the natural light of their home, in both the living room as well as Mya’s nursery. I especially loved getting photos of the three of them cuddling close with Mya sound asleep. I also was really happy I was able to easily capture photos of them along with their sweet doggies. They were getting on in years, and the Ranheims were wanting nice photos of them together before the doggies passed away. Pictures of Suanne as well as James holding Mya closely were particularly adorable. I also enjoyed capturing a few pictures of Mya swaddled, sleeping soundly cuddled up and adorable in her crib.

Thank You!

Once Suanne and James reviewed their final photos, they chose several as their favorites. They particularly wanted photos for their newborn announcements, so I was happy to help with that.

Thank you so much, Suanne and James, for working with me as your newborn photographer. I had so much fun, and I’m so happy to watch your family grow!
