Eden Prairie Newborn Session:: Caleb

I had the privledge of getting to kno Natalie and Bob and their family a few years ago when I did a family session for them with their then, one year old.  Fast forward a few years and sweet baby Caleb joined their family.  Smiling and cooing, he was a treasure to photograph.  What an honor it has been to be asked into these precious moments in time and document them just as they are!

    St. Paul Newborn Session:: Lottie

    Newborns are slowly becoming one of the sessions I can not wait to go to! Charlotte’s (Lottie) session was no different.  I photographed Sarah’s maternity session earlier this summer, and I was so excited when the e-mail of Lottie’s birth arrived.  This sweet girl slept almost the entire session and even when we brought in the cat for photos, she seemed content to have him close.  Congratulations to this beautiful family of three!

      Minneapolis Newborn Session:: Jaxon

      It has been a while since I have had a newborn that was absoutley perfect during the entire session.  Sweet Jaxon slept throughout his first photo shoot waking up to simply take one bottle and snuggle with his momma.  What a joy it was to meet this kind family and enter into this beautiful stage of life!

        What to wear for family sessions

        Happy fall to you, and with that, happy family photo time!  At this point in the year there are so many mommas asking me for clothing suggestions for family photos.  While I am no clothing expert, I have learned a few things along the way and want to share with you today four tips to choosing the type of clothing to wear for your family photos!

        1. This is the biggie and most important… As the momma, start with you.  Find the dress, jeans and jacket, t-shirt or style that YOU feel most comfortable in and feel confidant in and start there.  Often times we choose what our kids want to wear and work around them, but most of the time, kids are pretty flexible in what they want to wear, so choose that outfit you love the most and then work everyone around you.
        2. Bring in the accessories!  You can make any dark blue shirt better by adding a jean jacket, gold neckace or scarf to the mix.  Add in earrings, bangles and shoes to add your flair to the photos.  I will preface this with thinking about your kiddos too.  (In as much as we love dolling them up, be aware that if your toddler hates headbands, chances are she won’t keep it in for the photo, so it might be wise to forget it and elivate the stress!)
        3. Stay away from too much matching.  Gone are the days of denim shirts and kackki pants ( think 1999 and Gap ads!) Mixing and matching, adding plads and stripes , but not too many, and bringing in textures makes you pop in photos.
        4. Take tips from the clothing industry.  Step into any store these days and you will know the styles and colors that are on trend.  Jewel tones and neutrals photograph well against the green trees as well as the changing foliage that comes in October.
        5. If all else fails, Pinterest.

        Feel free to reach out as needed!  Again, I am no clothing expert, but I am happy to help and guide in any way I can as you prepare for your session.  I can’t wait to see so many of you this fall!
