St. Cloud, MN Baby Photographer | Everly’s 6 Month Milestone Session

Okay, can we just draw some attention to the cheeks and the dimples going on here? Cutest thing ever! It was so much fun to do Everly’s 6 month milestone session with her and her parents. She was such a happy baby!

Loved the cute outfits mom and dad picked out—including a black one, which we hardly ever get to do for baby girls! This session took place in the summer, so it seemed fitting to use lots of plants and flowers in our setups. Bowls and swings are also great props to use for a 6 month milestone session since baby is often sitting up at this point—either with a little support or on their own—and we used lots of those too.

A baby photography session is also the perfect time to get some family pictures! We made sure to get some family shots and baby parent portraits so that Everly and her parents can have photos of the whole family at this extra fun stage of babyhood. Whether you’re putting your pictures on display, using them in an album, or sending them out as gifts, you’ll be so glad you have images of everyone together!

As a St. Cloud, MN baby photographer, we love to capture every stage of childhood! If you’re interested in professional portraits of your little one or family, please contact us!

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!

St. Cloud, MN Baby Photographer | Brother and Sister Milestone Session

It isn’t too often that I get a brother and sister in together for a milestone session! This family wasn’t able to get newborn photos because baby was born early and mom was sick. But just as baby boy was turning 3 months, their daughter was getting ready to celebrate her third birthday, so it turned out to be the perfect time to get pictures!

These parents were a little worried about how the session would go. The little guy is a fussy baby and doesn’t tolerate much at a time. And although the camera loves their daughter she doesn’t feel the same way! Dad bribed her with the promise of ice fishing that weekend if she did well at the shoot. (Smart guy!) They’ve never had good, smiley photos of her, so they were thrilled with what a great job she did! They said she felt really comfortable in the studio—which I love to hear! But I’m sure Dad’s bribe helped too!

Sometimes all it takes is a little creativity—and quick camera work before baby gets fussy—to make a session go way more smoothly than you ever expected! If you have concerns about how your little one will do for their milestone session, don’t hesitate to ask questions! As a St. Cloud, MN baby photographer I’ve seen it all and I have plenty of tips you can try!

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 Baby Photographer | Haley’s Sitter Session | Six Months

A very happy half-birthday to Miss Haley! This little cutie came to see me for her six month sitter session. Six months is such a fun time to photograph babies! A lot of times they’re sitting up on their own (although if your little one isn’t quite yet, don’t worry. It takes some kiddos a little longer to figure out that balance thing!) And they’re starting to be a lot more interested in interacting with people, which can make for some super cute baby pictures!

I was totally in love with this little round face! Are those cheeks not the most squishable things you ever saw in your life?

We did a couple of setups, including a boho one with lots of plants and a shabby chic setup with tons of flowers. Both so pretty!

Haley’s big brothers also joined in for part of our session. They clearly adore their little sister and were so good with her in the studio! I loved capturing their interactions.
