MN Puppy Portraits {MN Dog Photographer}

Posted in Dogs

Well, it’s no surprise here… my assistants and I absolutely love puppies and can never get enough of them. So we are always super excited to work with our clients who have added new puppies to the family and decide to schedule a puppy photo session! It was no different with 10-week-old Emmy, a Miniature Goldendoodle, who had her first photo session recently. My heart melted the first time I laid eyes on Emmy. Her soft coloring, slightly curly hair, and soulful eyes were just too much to handle! We had our Puppy Portraits session at our studio in Spring Valley, MN.

She may weigh like 2 or 3lbs but she had a HUGE personality! This little girl was both extra sweet and feisty rolled into a tiny puppy. She had a lot of energy during her session and never rested nor slept during the hour she was at the studio. She’s also a cuddle bug and wanted to be in someone’s arms vs the prop we would set her in. She also liked going under the prop, too which is something she does at home as well, so it was great that we caught that moment at the studio, too.

If you have a new furry family member, having a portrait session is a great way to remember such a fun, special time with MN Puppy Portraits.

Next month we will be announcing mini sessions for our Pawsitively Adorable Contest that participate in with one of our portrait labs. Leave a comment if you want to be the first to know about the Pet Mini Sessions.

Newborn Portrait {Chatfield MN Newborn Photographer}

Posted in Newborns

Today I have the honor of introducing you to a brand new beautiful addition to the world. You’re in for a major treat today as I’m sharing my favorite images from Miss G’s newborn portrait session.  Mommy, daddy, and big sisters are smitten with this new sweet girl.

I feel so lucky to have watched this family grow over the years and feel so grateful to have been chosen to capture each of the sisters’ newborn portrait sessions.  I can’t believe how much the girls have grown and it was so beautiful to see them snuggling with their new baby sister.

Minnesota Newborn Photography {MN Newborn Portraits}

Posted in Newborns

Another gorgeous newborn photography session here in the studio. This family was celebrating the birth of their new baby boy with a newborn session. It was great to see them at the studio again.  We’ve also had the pleasure of doing Dad’s senior photos back in the early years of our business, Mom and Dad’s engagement photos, and big brother’s first year with a Watch Me Grow Session. 

We had to delay the session a couple of times because of colds, so he is 2 months old, but we still got some great newborn-like poses.  It was such a wonderful newborn session with family images included. We had such a great time together and we were able to build a beautiful image gallery to show off this infant baby boy!

We started the newborn session with the family portraits.   He adored the flashes of lights and was mesmerized by them. With him being a little older and being a little fussy and spitting up some, we had to take a couple of breaks, but with a little patience, we got some great photos.  We always allow extra time for newborn portrait sessions knowing they will need time for lots of feeding, burping, and diaper changes. Patience is key.  Wonderful photos can’t be rushed.

This gallery turned out absolutely gorgeous with the blues and yellow tones used throughout the portrait session. Here are a few highlights…..

Watch Me Grow Portrait Session {MN Photographer}

Posted in Babies

My, how much do they change in such a short time? One of the best parts of our job is seeing all these precious babies change throughout their first year of life with our Watch Me Grow Portrait Sessions. One moment they are brand new to this world and the next they are sitting up, clapping and full of gummy toothless smiles.

I’m so excited to be sharing your 6-month Watch Me Grow Session, today. While it feels like Miss K was just here for her Newborn and 3-month Session, she was already back again for her 6-month Watch Me Grow Portrait Session, and oh my word what a treat it was to photograph her, again.  She has grown into the cutest little baby girl in the world.  I loved getting to dress her up in our outfits from our studio closet and pick out headbands with her Mom and use some of my favorite props available at the studio. 

We are so excited to see Miss K  again at her 9-month Watch Me Grow Session and her 1-year Cake Smash Watch Me Grow Session! Don’t grow too fast!!!

This session reminded me to remind everyone of how crucial it is to schedule these types of sessions with us in advance. To ensure that I can accommodate your family on our calendar, I strongly advise families to contact me at least 6 weeks in advance to schedule their portrait sessions.

Families frequently skip these six-month milestone events because they are unaware of their importance.  But now is such an excellent time to do them. At this age, babies are normally sitting unsupported, but not crawling or walking.  This brief moment in your baby’s life goes by so quickly!

Maternity Session {SE Minnesota Maternity Portraits}

Posted in Maternity

Photographing maternity sessions warms my heart, especially with such a wonderful couple! Seeing their love and excited anticipation is such a treasure. I am honored to have the privilege of photographing this milestone before they undertake such a grand adventure of adding another baby to their family.

This mama chose to use 3 of my gowns that we have in our studio closet and also brought a gown of her own, too. I love the gorgeous and dramatic look of a studio maternity session. The contrast, the black and white, the gorgeous gowns, and a beautiful mama… gorgeous….

Can’t wait to finish editing this session and meet the newest member of their family in the next few weeks.
