The perfect model – Minneapolis Newborn Studio Portraits

March 7, 2010 – 8:22 pm

Meet L. He was really the PERFECT model. The first newborn in the new studio and a complete angel. I’m so excited about the gorgeous natural light, rustic floors, and all the different ideas I can finally execute now that we’ve moved in!

This is going to be a huge share since it is representative to what a studio session would look like compared to on location. Both will still be available. Studio offers come fun backgrounds, baskets, etc. On location is great for incorporating your home into the pictures and also of course the comfort of having me come to you. Both types of sessions offer the classic posed shots on blankets, with or without the little hats and parent and sibling portraits.

Seriously, L was sooo darn cute…picture overload ahead

The big announcement…the studio

March 3, 2010 – 6:36 pm

Those that are on facebook already know and some of you may have suspected but I’m very excited to announce that we moved into a new natural light studio in Hopkins! I will still be doing the majority of my sessions on location but now you have the choice! I’ll also be offering some different looks in studio for newborns that frankly are just too darn heavy to carry on location (samples images to come from the newborn model call). The best part is that I get to share it with a group of very talented women that are in a similar situation as I am, where we really only need a studio part time. I’m excited for this new phase and new offering for my clients.

James modeled for us for a few sample shots and Lindsey ended up jumping in to so she could show off her new Spring dress from Momi Boutique! Love, love, love her clothing.

Daddy’s Arms

February 21, 2010 – 12:41 pm

There is something magical about a tiny little newborn with their daddy. The size difference, their protective nature. Whenever I’m taking these, you can almost always look at the mom and watch her fall in love with her husband all over again. Yep, something magical. I’m just finishing up this little guys gallery and just had to share these. Love them.

Canvas Collages

February 19, 2010 – 6:10 pm

So I hinted on my last post that my Valentines gift came in a big old box from my very favorite canvas vendor. This is a new concept in canvases that the minute I saw the idea, I loved it for certain types of sessions. I knew with my kids fall session that I wanted to do canvas but hadn’t put together a layout yet. Well, a canvas collage was just perfect. This is a 34×40 and is over the couch in our family room. The pictures don’t really do it justice (I’m so not a product photographer) but it is GORGEOUS in person.

I also had a 16×24 canvas made of one of James newborn portraits printed for the adjacent wall. I pretty much went from having James in July and a month later hitting crazy busy season so I’m looking forward to getting all of his albums and wall prints squared away in the next few weeks.

So really, who needs jewelry when you can have canvas??? If you’d like to have one designed from your fall session or a future session, just drop my a line.

Little M – Minneapolis Newborn Photography

February 15, 2010 – 6:44 pm

I say this all the time, but every newborn is so different. Each one likes different poses and I can typically tell after the first 20 minutes or so which ones they’ll like. This little guy did one of my favorites beautifully….back wrinkles. Love them.

Oh, I could just eat him up…including his spiky hair.

I can’t wait to watch him grow over the next year!!

On a side note – I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s day! We had a much needed date night while Grandma and Grandpa took the kids. The 2 older ones even got to stay over night which is almost as good as Disney in their eyes. I also got my Valentine’s Day present which came in a very, very large box from my canvas vendor :) I’ll take a few pictures soon!
