Welcome to my corner of the web, where I capture the beauty of life's special moments!

This session featuring baby Michael was so sweet. We began with family portraits in the studio backdrop area, transitioned to the studio's cozy lifestyle setting, and finalized with adorable prop poses. With over 100 outfits for newborns, I truly take pride in creating the perfect look for each session!

Rest assured, your little one and your experience are in good hands. With over 14 years of photography expertise, my passion for this craft only grows. I bring both professional training and a gentle approach to ensure your session exceeds your expectations.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you soon.

Warmest regards, Michelle

Hey mama! Are you pregnant with your first baby, or your third? Either way, let me help you professionally document your beauty. This is a significant time in your life, right? I have 95% of what you need for your session. That's right. I have gorgeous gowns, dresses, body suits, gold flecks for your skin, tossing fabrics, lingerie, and more!

This couple is having their first baby and we got lucky with the mild winter here in Minnesota so they could have a few shots with the beautiful sunset. I'm a sucker for a sunset. We started at the studio and then ended the session outside. All of the gowns, dress, etc are in my client closet so there is no need to go shopping! Easy, right? We had so many beautiful photos from this session that it was hard to narrow down favorites. Do you have a favorite?

Want hair and makeup done? I can hook you up with a local artist or you can come to the session prepared. Some mamas bring a friend to help with touch-ups throughout the session, but that's up to you.

Now, don't forget to book your session. It's never too early so contact me today.

Look at this happy little family that had their newborn session at the studio! This is their first baby and they couldn't have been luckier. He's the sweetest little guy that is full of grunts and squeaks when he's snoozing away. 

Mom and dad have lived in Rochester for a few years but they're originally from Texas. So, when the grandparents came to the session I was so happy. It's not often grandparents come with but I'm more than happy to include them. Afterall, they are a huge part of family, right?

When we deisigned this session, mom said that she took care of bears in college so we needed to have little bears included in the session. And, dad is a doctor so scrubs were completely fitting. Also, the colorful quilt was made by great grandma. 

I was so happy with this session, and the beautiful album that they ordered. I can't wait to have them back in the studio again for some milestone sessions.

Don't forget to book your sessions! If you're pregnant, please contact me ASAP to schedule your maternity and newborn sessions. I book out months in advance so don't wait. Sometimes I have room for a mama that didn't know to book early. 

xoxo, Michelle

Hey there! This gorgeous mama and her baby girl came to the studio for a session, and I'm so happy they did. I mean, look at how beautiful they are! Capturing the bond between them was oh so sweet. From having their session in their lifestyle area, that almost melted my heart, to posing little Wren in some props and then getting adorable table poses! This baby girl did so well, slept like a dream and posed like an angel.

Everything you see in the images can be used in your session too. I have over 50 dresses, body suits, gowns, and more for all the mamas to wear - up to size 3x. For newborns, I have beds, buckets, baskets, crates, wraps, fabrics, little lovie animals for their little hands to hold, headbands, hats, and much more. Once you sign on with me, I send out a questionnaire in order to customize your session. You can even come on in to the studio to pick out what you're going to wear and see everything else in person.

So come on in and be ready to relax and hang out! I have coffee, snacks, and comfy places to sit or nap. Yes, I said nap because you sure can if you want to. I'm BLS certified, an LPN, and I'm very experienced with many years of caring and photographing newborns.

Hope to see you soon!

Hugs and love,

Michelle
