Newborn, maternity and family portrait highlights of some of my favorite families in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities area. 

Newborn

{Sam} | Champlin MN newborn photographer

I met Sam when he came to my studio from Champlin for his newborn session back in December. He was a fiesty little guy, but totally, absolutely, adorable. He didn’t want to close his eyes much at first, but eventually passed out for some sleepy shots. They always do. :) Sam is part of my […]

Family

{The Jamison family} | Blaine MN family photography

Finally caught up with blog posts from this fall! Only took me until March to get it all done. :) This last fall family session was one of my favorites. I’ve been photographing Leela since she was a newborn, and she has always been a smiley, happy baby. Babies change so much between one year […]

{Hudson} | Golden Valley MN newborn photographer

I photographed Hudson’s newborn photos back in September, when he was 3 weeks old.  He’ll be in for his next session soon, so I figured I’d better get around to blogging these ones before I see him again.  :)  He was wide awake for most of his newborn session, which is pretty common with a […]
