{Tanner – 6 months} | Ham Lake MN baby photographer

Six month baby photos are one of my favorite types of sessions. Babies at this age are usually smiling, happy, and not running away yet. :) I took Tanner’s newborn photos, and was so happy to have him back in for his six month portraits! He is absolutely adorable, and the ones with the hat...

{Jorrie – 9 months} | Lakeville MN baby photographer

I don’t do too many lifestyle sessions, but when I do, I absolutely LOVE them! I think it’s so cool to photograph a family in their own home, especially with babies.
