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!

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!

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!
