Meet Baby William | Minneapolis Newborn Photography

This little man was just the sweetest baby for his first portrait session. William was named after his grandpa who is a pilot, and his mom had the cutest little aviator hat for him to wear. It was such a nice fall day that we were able to sneak outside for a few outdoor shots too. Welcome Baby William!

Gorgeous and Glowing | Baby Bump Photography - Plymouth Maple Grove MN


My dear friend, Nikki, is expecting her first baby, a girl, in just a few short weeks! I was able to snap a few photos after her baby shower last weekend and wanted to share a few of my favorites with you. As you can see, she is gorgeous and glowing and all belly! Nikki and Ron, I can't wait to meet your baby girl in just a few weeks!

What to Wear Wednesday - Fall Edition! | Minneapolis St. Paul Family Photography

For today's What to Wear Wednesday, I have a real life example from last weekend's mini-sessions! This adorable family came dressed in matching red shirts and jeans and I loved how the colors popped against the backdrop of fall leaves.  This is a great look for a fall session or for a holiday card photo. So cute!

Using Props in your Photo Session | Minneapolis St. Paul Photographer

You've scheduled your photo session, found the perfect outfit and your new haircut looks fantastic. What else could you possibly do to make your photos even more amazing? Props!
Props can add a personal touch to your photographs by incorporating items that are special to you or that show off your individual style. They can give your portraits a certain look and make them really unique.     (And in shots with children, props can work wonders in keeping the attention of a squirrelly toddler!)
Some ideas:
--Umbrellas
--Balloons
--Signs
--Pets
--Bubbles
--Hats
--Chairs

See below for some examples, and contact me for a list of props that I have available for your next session!
