Chanhassen, MN Newborn Photographer

I love all my sessions as a Chanhassen, MN newborn photographer, but I’ll admit—this one was extra special! Mom told me that when it came to naming their daughter, they wanted something that had meaning as well. Since she brought so much joy to her parents lives they decided that Joy it was! This sweet baby girl certainly brought some of that to my newborn photo studio in Chanhassen as well.

It was so great to see the love this little family has for each other. Mom and Dad were cheering Joy on through the entire session: telling her what a great job she was doing, how beautiful she was, and even encouraging her to smile. It was an especially heartwarming session, and Joy did a wonderful job.

Mom is from Jamaica and Dad is from Ghana, and they’re both doctors. They met at a clinic in Ghana when Mom was on a mission trip there…and the rest is history! We incorporated some special touches to represent Joy’s cultural heritage during our newborn photo session: Mom picked out traditional Jamaican colors for their newborn and family photos. And the gorgeous piece of fabric around Joy’s wrap is from Mom’s wedding dress.

Congratulations to this beautiful family, and thanks so much for allowing me the privilege of being your Chanhassen, MN newborn photographer!
