St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer | Bryce’s Newborn Session

This little cutie and his parents traveled from Holdingford for Bryce’s newborn session. It was a stormy day outside (complete with thunder and hail), but we’re glad they braved the weather. It’s always cozy in our St. Cloud, MN photo studio! (In fact, we recommend dressing in layers when you come! We keep it nice and toasty so that babies stay comfortable during outfit changes.)

We did a couple of different bucket setups for baby Bryce, as well as a couple of swaddles and a pillow that was just the right size for that little head. We also wanted some variety in our colors, so we chose to do some of our setups with neutrals and some with a nice combination of blue and rust.

Bryce was adorable and we’re so happy that, even though we’re about half an hour away, Mom and Dad chose Tiny Hearts Studio as their St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer!

If you’re interested in booking a session for your own little one, please get in touch. Remember, it’s important to book as early as possible so we can ensure your session date and time. We’d love to see you and baby at one of our studio locations!  

St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer | Natalie & Lydia’s Twin Newborn Photography Session

With twice the cuddles and twice the cuteness, I know you’re going to love the photos from Natalie and Lydia’s twin newborn photography session! As their St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer I certainly loved every minute with these two beautiful girls.

Both mom and dad were able to make it to the studio, which was wonderful. Not only because we could get photos of the whole family that way, but because the more hands to hold and cradle the better—especially with twins!

Posing with twins provides an extra challenge, but fortunately I have lots of experience and am here to guide you so you can get beautiful photos with your two little bundles of joy. Usually, poses done with just one baby can also be done with two, as you can see from the pictures we took during Natalie and Lydia’s twin newborn photography session.

Mom and Dad wanted a variety of colors for these photos, so we chose several different combinations. We also did a few black and white baby pictures, which are always so classic!

Loved spending time with these baby sisters!

Whether you’re getting ready to welcome one child or two, we’d love to help you capture those precious memories at Tiny Hearts Studio. Get in touch with us here!

St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer | Rylan’s Newborn Session

This little guy was born eight weeks early and had a lengthy NICU stay. Thankfully he’s doing just great! His parents had already booked Rylan’s newborn session, so they rushed over to our St. Cloud, MN photography studio as soon as he was discharged to capture these newborn pictures.

This kiddo is definitely not the first baby we’ve had who decided that schedules are for other people! That’s one of the many reasons we recommend booking your baby’s photo session early so that we have plenty of wiggle room if things don’t go according to plan.

We were joined for Rylan’s newborn session by mom, dad, and Rylan’s fur-sibling! It’s always fun to have pets in the studio, and well worth the extra challenge for a kiddo to have baby pictures with their childhood pet. This doggo was very well-behaved and we’re sure will be a fantastic buddy for little man!

In search of a central Minnesota newborn photographer? We’re so glad you found Tiny Hearts Studio! We have two convenient newborn studio locations—one in St. Cloud and one in Chanhassen—both with beautiful setups and tons of newborn props. We’d love to welcome you and your little one to the studio, so if you’re expecting let’s start planning your baby’s session!

St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer | Waylon’s Newborn Session

Black and white, neutrals, bright colors…what’s your preference when it comes to newborn pictures? For Waylon’s newborn session, we chose to work with lots of neutrals. These work beautifully as home décor—especially when you’re planning to give framed photos to grandparents and other family members as gifts. Since grays, whites, and creams generally go with just about any color scheme, colors like these make it easy for the recipient to find a place on their walls where the new baby picture looks perfect!

Just because most of our session focused on neutrals though, didn’t mean we couldn’t incorporate a few brighter colors too. For our brothers portraits we picked out some nice autumn tones. Big brother was a little young to hold the new baby on his own, so we created some shots of the two of them next to each other instead. I’m sure they’re going to be best buddies!

Waylon had the best little nose! I had to get some closeup black and white shots of all those perfect details.

Baby boy did great, and even gave us some smiles while Mom and Dad were holding him for our family pics.

And he loved being swaddled, so we did plenty of wrapped poses to keep him calm and happy!

What a sweet little family!

Amelia’s Newborn Pictures | St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer

Check out this little nugget! You’d never know it, but we had to divide up Amelia’s newborn pictures over two different sessions. Poor baby girl wasn’t feeling super well for either one. We think she had a bit of a tummy ache. As a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer, one of the many skills I’ve mastered is flexibility! You just never know what to expect from these little ones, and while I absolutely want you to have a ton of beautiful baby photos to choose from, I also want to listen to your little one and make sure they’re as comfortable and happy as possible. We can do both, but sometimes it requires some creativity!

You can see that by allowing our session to be baby-led and being flexible enough to do two shorter sessions, we got a gorgeous collection of newborn images! I loved capturing all the details of Amelia’s tiny fingers and perfect little mouth—tongue sticking out and all!

Mom and Dad were so excited to welcome this sweet cherub, and I love the precious newborn and parent pictures we took.

If you’re looking for a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer who will go the extra mile for you, please get in touch! My priority is making sure both you and your baby have a great experience—and that you end up with beautiful newborn pictures!

St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer | Hadley’s Newborn Session

It doesn’t get more precious than this baby girl! Hadley and her parents were just the sweetest, and being their St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer was a delight!

Love the pretty color scheme we came up with for Hadley. Lots of lavender and white for her newborn portraits. And some lovely shades of rose from mom and dad’s outfits and our brick backdrop. We also had fun playing with textures. Wood, wicker, rope—and of course, all the soft yarns and fabrics. As a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer, I like to keep my newborn studio stocked with tons of props and wraps. That way there’s something for everyone! And aside from color, using a variety of textures is one of the simplest ways to add depth and variety to your newborn session.

Hadley slept like an angel for most of her newborn session, but even when she woke up we were able to keep her calm and get some great shots. I kinda love when babies have some awake time in the studio because it gives us the chance to capture those beautiful blue-gray newborn eyes.

So glad I got to meet this adorable baby girl and her family!

Newborn Photo Session | MN Baby Photographer

Another gorgeous newborn photo session, this time with a sweet baby girl! We used a lot of white in this session. Pink for girls is traditional, but we wanted to do something a little different! Even when we threw some color in there we went for deeper shades like rust, forest green, and ruby red. As a MN baby photographer, I actually love using dark colors like that for baby girls. It’s unexpected and oh-so-pretty! (Not to mention, the red and green was perfect for the holidays!)

Choosing props is one of the many fun parts of doing a newborn photo session. From bowls to beds, baskets to buckets, we have something for everyone at both of our studio locations (in Chanhassen, MN and St. Cloud, MN.) We decided to do a little bit of everything for this baby girl!

The rest of the family joined us at the studio for these baby portraits too. We focused most of our time on baby girl, but also made sure to get some newborn and sibling images too! These are always client faves and sure to be a treasure!

Little Brother | Eden Prairie Newborn Photographer

What a sweetheart this baby boy was! The whole family came for little brother’s newborn photography session, so we were able to get the sweetest parent and sibling pictures. Big brother and sister were absolutely amazing with the new baby! Mom and Dad are lucky to have such great helpers, and posing was so easy with this group. They’re naturals!

As an Eden Prairie newborn photographer, I think all babies are adorable. But I have to admit, they’re extra cute when they have as much hair as this little bundle did! We used one hat during our session, but mostly we kept those dark locks uncovered so we could show them off!

The dark blues and grays that we picked out for little brother were so perfect! There’s a reason this is a classic color scheme for newborn baby boy pictures. (Bonus: It also tends to be super easy to find clothes to match if you’re planning on doing family shots too. Black, gray, or white shirts all work great—and who doesn’t own a pair of jeans?)

I enjoyed every minute of my time with this family as their Eden Prairie newborn photographer, and I hope I’ll see them in the studio again soon!

Newborn Baby Girl | St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer

Do you want a treat? Then check out the pictures from this sweet newborn baby girl’s photo session! It doesn’t get much more precious than this. That hair! Those cheeks! Her perfect little lips—I could go on, but there’s no need. Just keep scrolling!

We chose lots of nice fluffy textures for this baby girl’s pictures. I love cloud-soft swaddles and thick crocheted or knitted caps for baby photos.

The colors we picked out ended up being so pretty too! The white was just beautiful and gave our photos such a crisp, bright look. And the coral and lavender gave us the perfect amount of color to lend some variety and allow us to play around a little.

Like most babies, this little girl loved to be swaddled. (As a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer, swaddles are one of my favorite things! They look great, and babies adore feeling all snuggly and safe in them.) She also did great with our other poses too. I really like the naked baby poses since they gave me a chance to highlight all those baby rolls and dimples!

Sweet dreams, baby girl!

Newborn & Family Photoshoot | Central MN Photographer

Anyone else excited for the holidays? I know I am! For me, holidays are all about family, which is why it was so nice to do this newborn and family photoshoot earlier this month. Lizbeth and Kevin brought their new baby girl Ariany to the studio for pictures—and Grandma was able to come too!

I had met Lizbeth earlier when I did her maternity session, so it was fantastic to have her back in the studio and to meet the rest of the family. Especially the new little arrival! Ariany was such a cutie and had the most beautiful dark hair. Everything about her was perfect—down to those tiny fingers and toes. (I couldn’t resist a few closeups).

Although we kept our family photos pretty neutral with grays and whites, we wanted to do all girl for the baby-only portion of this newborn and family photoshoot. What could be better than pink and gold? I think Ariany liked it too. We got a sweet half-awake smile out of her!

This family is totally in love with their new bundle, and who can blame them? I loved capturing all of them together.

If you need a central MN photographer for your baby pictures, family pictures, or any other portraits, look no further! With years in the business and a passion for portraiture, Tiny Hearts Studio is the perfect place to capture your family’s memories. Can’t wait for your session!

Newborn Twins Photography Session | Emersyn & Sawyer

As a professional newborn photographer, there aren’t many things I enjoy more than photographing a baby—unless it’s photographing two! This was the sweetest newborn twins photography session!

These twin baby girls and their parents traveled all the way from Duluth, MN to my St. Cloud, MN photo studio. That’s quite a trip with two newborns in tow, but I’m so glad mom and dad were brave enough to do it! We got some absolutely beautiful pictures of their family that they will be able to treasure forever.

There’s no question that a newborn twins photography session presents some special challenges. But I’m always up for a challenge! With some extra prep work, photography tricks, and baby whisperer magic, photographing twins can go really smoothly and result in baby pictures that are twice as cute!

Although getting pictures of twins together is always so much fun, I also recommend that you get some individual baby portraits during your session as well. Every individual is unique, after all, and as your little ones grow and become more independent, they’ll enjoy having baby pictures that are just them!

Whether you’re expecting one baby or two (or more!) I’d love to help you capture memories of their earliest days. Please get in touch and we’ll work out all the details!

Chanhassen, MN Newborn Photographer | Naeva’s Newborn Session {1 week old}

It was a girl’s day out to the studio for Naeva’s studio newborn session. Her grandmother was visiting from India so mom decided to bring Grandma along to get some generational photos!

The name “Naeva” means born at night. Her big sister’s name is “Astra” which means “of the stars”. We had to honor the meaning of the sisters’ names with some stars, and of course, our moon prop bowl.

We definitely didn't have to beg Astra to take some photos with her new baby sister. She was all about sister pics and we even switched out the headband for the hat halfway through. Naeva looks like a little honey bear in our honey bucket!

Mom was right, jewel tones were perfect for Naeva’s hair and skin tone. She was such a good baby and even flashed us a smile on the green flokati fur.

St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer {10 days old, Baby Dax}

Mom was specific; she wanted this backlit image of dad and baby and the macro images of Dax’s features. She already had a plan of where these images would be hung (in the nursery).
