what you can expect with your minneapolis newborn photographer
Newborn Photography
It's true. There's no place like home. That's why you'll notice that many of our newborn photography sessions take place right where you live. No set design. Nothing picture-perfect. Just images that reflect the joyful chaos of life this very minute —because honestly, what could be more beautiful than that?
Nothing staged or overdirected. Just natural direction and light-touch editing to enhance what is real.
True-to-Life
Baby-led
A newborn photo experience tailored around the rhythm and schedule of your newest addition
parent-focused
An experience that honors and celebrates you, just as much as your new bundle of joy.
In a world of beige photos, Natalie’s photos were bright and cheerful. She has a knack for capturing the joy and wonder in children. When I explored her website, I was drawn to her huge smile and warm personality. I wanted a photographer whose pictures looked lively, colorful, joyful. So many family photos look muted and filtered in sepia tones and I want to look at my family photos and see warmth and happiness. Natalie’s photos stood out to me because they were bright, natural, and captured the joy and chaos of young children.
During our session, she was so engaged with our two older children, who were wild and unfocused. Natalie got them to laugh and smile using her camera monkey and the girls adored her. I wasn’t sure we’d get any family photos but Natalie’s patience and positive attitude, and SKILL, captured so many. It was such a fun session.

After our first experience with Natalie (when we were in the thick of the newborn stage with our first), we knew we found our photographer for all our big (and small) moments! She is extremely talented and even when I thought there was no way she could capture any good pictures because of the chaos of kids and a dog, she blew us away with them! She is also one of the most kind hearted individuals we know and made us feel comfortable immediately! My husband and I have never loved doing photos but these were the first that we actually loved!

We have worked with Natalie several times over the years to photograph our growing family and every session is better than the last. She is wonderful at engaging with my children and makes each session feel comfortable and fun. We have been blown away with our resulting photo galleries; our family photos are so beautiful and special, we love to display them in our home.It was super easy to book our session online. The pre-session questionnaire was easy to complete and we appreciated the thoughtful questions. At our session, it was clear that Natalie had reviewed our responses and tailored our session to reflect our wishes. We were blown away! The session felt so easy, so we were delighted by how natural our photos were. It's so special to have photos of a "typical day at home".

Natalie is amazing! She did our newborn photos and we couldn't love then more. Not only is she so kind and talented, she is an actual baby whisperer. 1 week old babies are not the easiest subjects, and she was so calming to our little guy and able to make magic happen. Hire her! I know we will time and time again.

Having family photos completed with a newborn and toddler could be one of them most stressful things but Natalie made it super easy. Having her come to our home reduced so much stress. She was able to roll with our toddlers personality (and lack of enjoyment having to sit still!) and our newborn. The photos turned out wonderful. We are so grateful she could come and capture our family in such a precious time.
