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 | 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!

St. Cloud, MN Baby Photographer | Finn’s 9 Month Milestone Session

Talk about a happy baby! I don’t think Finn stopped smiling once during his 9 month milestone session! What a cutie. Loved those sparkling blue eyes and fluffy hair that stuck up everywhere!

Although most people think of newborn and one-year sessions as the big ones, I also love doing those in-between milestones at 3, 6, and 9 months. So much happens in baby’s first year that these are honestly huge milestones too! Smiling, sitting up, crawling, maybe even standing and taking a few steps on their own—those accomplishments should be recorded.

Like most babies, Finn loves being outside. Even though we were doing these baby and family pictures in the studio, we brought a little of the outdoors in by creating a gardening and camping setup. I think this kiddo is going to have a green thumb when he gets older!

It was wonderful to have some extended family join us for these photos! We got some great baby and family pictures. Oh, and Mom and Dad had a surprise to share too. What a great way to wrap up an exciting 9 month milestone session—with the announcement that Finn was about to be promoted to big brother!

St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer | Newborn Session

Just look at that sweet sleepy smile! And those toes sticking out of the swaddle! Doesn’t get much cuter than that.

We chose a warm color palette for this newborn photography session. Some neutrals and blue-greens for our baby pictures, and then some nice fall colors for our newborn and family pictures.

This little guy was adorable and a real champ for us. We got to try him out with several different outfits and props since he was very cooperative and didn’t seem too bothered by anything we were doing. Hats, swaddles, buckets, snuggle poses—he was happy with all of it!

Big sister was such a cutie too! She was a little young to hold baby safely on her own, but we still got some great sibling and family photos. Baby’s safety is top priority, but there are plenty of ways to include toddler siblings in our images that don’t involve them actually holding their new little brother or sister. Just ask us for recommendations!

If you’re on the lookout for a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer, you’re in luck! With 15 years of experience, two conveniently located studio locations, and a focus on amazing customer service, you can’t do better than book with Tiny Hearts Studio! We can’t wait to work with you and your little one!

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

Check out this sweet baby boy! Mom, Dad, and big brother all made the trip to the studio in St. Cloud for a newborn photo session with new baby Kane.

We got some super cute photos with everyone.

Big brother was awesome with the little guy, which gave us a bit more flexibility in posing. We do pics with toddler siblings all the time (which I love!) but it’s fun to have an older kiddo in the mix. With toddlers it’s mostly the challenge of keeping them still long enough for a shot! And since they’re still figuring out motor skills and don’t understand how delicate babies are, I always take precautions for safety reasons. Since older kiddos are more mature and coordinated (and better at following instructions!) it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for photography.

I love the earth tones we used for Kane’s newborn session. The golds, greens, blues, and grays put me in mind of autumn—which is perfect because we did this shoot right at that golden season when summer is just turning into fall.

Speaking of the changing seasons, you wouldn’t believe it, but we’re already booking into summer here at Tiny Hearts Studio. So if you’re looking for a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer, don’t wait around! Let’s get you on the schedule right away!

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

I feel like most of the newborn sessions I’ve posted lately have been of baby girls. So I’m excited to share a few baby boy pics from Bryson’s newborn session!

This little dude was such a cutie and had the best expressions! Puckered lips, pouty lips, raised eyebrows, contented little smile, I’m-about-to-cry face. You name it, he gave us every single one! I loved capturing them all as he ran the emotional gamut in my St. Cloud, MN newborn photo studio. 😊

Mom wanted a variety of colors, so we did some neutral setups with gray and cream, and then also used blues, greens, and yellows. It added a really fun element to our baby photos while still keeping it low-key without anything super bright.

And we also made sure to get some mother and son shots. So sweet!

Are  you going to need a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer in the next few months? I’m so excited for you! I’m already booking into summer, so let’s talk soon! I specialize in providing families with professional photos of the special seasons of their lives—and I’d love to do the same for you!
