Family sessions document the joyful chaos of childhood! I love the often fast-paced nature of photographing families with young children. My photography services in Minnesota are designed to feel natural and enjoyable as we spend time in a beautiful location laughing, snuggling, and capturing the connections that make your family unique.

As one of the professional photographers in Minnesota specializing in maternity and newborn photography, I create relaxed, in-home sessions that highlight your connection and love. As a mom myself, I understand the emotions and challenges that can come with growing your family, and I strive to be a supportive and encouraging presence.

Working with Bauer Creative on our wedding day was effortless. Natalie was organized, calming, and knew exactly when to step in with direction while keeping everything natural. She captured every big and small moment without making the day feel like a photoshoot. Half the time, we didn’t even notice she was there, yet she caught everything perfectly.
"Our wedding album felt like a little time capsule."

- brittany, family photography
I have one of those toddlers that is stubborn as soon as a camera comes out. She gave him patience and space to be a kid while helping to play and encourage genuine smiles. I truly can’t praise her work enough or express how much it means to my family. Just hire her and thank me later. You truly won’t regret it!
"Natalie truly knows how to capture the essence of your family with the most beautiful light and timeless colors."
- josie & thomas, wedding photography
I spent hours searching for the best wedding photographer for my big day, vetting 25 different professionals. The moment I met Natalie, I knew she was the visionary I was hoping for. We received luxurious photos that my friends and family have told me look straight out of a bridal magazine. She was my absolute favorite member of my vendor team and I have recommended her to every friend of mine getting married.
"She was my absolute favorite vendor."
