Authentically Capturing Your
Love and Connection With Your Baby
Minneapolis Newborn Photographer
Celebrating the Long-Awaited Arrival of Your Baby
For the past 10 years, Ann Marie has served hundreds of families from across the Twin Cities as a premier Minneapolis newborn photographer. Her beautiful newborn lifestyle photography offers families an opportunity to document the culmination of months, and, for some families, years of waiting for a baby to arrive. Through her newborn photography, she captures the natural beauty of your entire family’s love and connection to your baby through an experience that is both relaxing and peaceful. Her baby photography goes beyond just taking pictures, to celebrating your child’s story. The result will be photographs that you and your family will hold close to your hearts.

-
In order to insure you get your best date, and because we take great care in planning your session, please book at least 2 months in advance of your baby’s due date.

Unlike other newborn photographers, I do not have a mandatory age for newborn photos. The best time is when you feel you will be ready and some families need a week or two o adjust to being a new family! On average, Minneapolis newborn photos take place when baby is between 2-4 weeks old.
-
You may choose from two collection options for a single newborn session, or opt for a Newborn Milestone Collection which includes three sessions in one year. An installment payment plan is available for the Newborn Milestone Collection which provides you with three sessions in one year and a First Year Photo Book.

Every newborn session includes:
- Pre-session consultation,
- Complimentary client wardrobe for mom and baby,
- Session styling for your entire family,
- A slideshow video preview,
- Online gallery with fine art print products,
- A number of full resolution digital images, plus a print credit to be redeemed in your gallery shop.

Please schedule at least two months in advance to allow for adequate time to plan your session.
After you complete your client scheduling form you will have a pre-session zoom call with me to select your date and plan details.

I have prepared a Newborn Session Prep Guide to give you all the details you need to have the best Newborn Photography Experience. This guide contains everything from how to prepare baby for your special day, styling information, tips for a positive experience with siblings, and some of the things you can expect at my beautiful Minneapolis Studio.
What Should I Expect At My Minneapolis Newborn Session?
When You Arrive at the Studio…
This is probably one of your first times out with baby. As you walk into the studio, I want you to feel welcome and relax. Get settled in the seating area, have some coffee or tea, and let me take care of all the details!
What Should We Wear?
Prior to your session you will be sent styling and a link to my client wardrobe from which you may choose dresses and outfits for mom and children as well as a guide for what dad should wear. Your dresses will be hanging in the changing area when you arrive and outfits and wraps for baby will be on a table for you to choose from.
How Long is a Newborn Photography Session?
Sessions are baby led and take approximately 1 1/2 -2 hours. We take our time and go with the flow. Time is always allotted for getting ready, diaper changes, and feedings. We never rush. This is your time to simply focus on your baby and enjoy the moment of being together as a family.
What if Baby is Fussy?
No worries at all! Babies can be unpredictable and we listen to their cues. I am a mom of three and I understand what you are going through! I fully expect there will be moments when baby will cry or be fussy. We simply stop, take our time, and meet their needs. Plus, sometimes the most beautiful pictures are when mom is feeding or comforting her child. We go with the flow. Just know that these moments are expected and embraced!
