St. Cloud, MN Maternity Photographer | Family Maternity Studio Session

It isn’t often that we get to have the entire family at the studio for a maternity photography session, and I loved that Mom decided to make her pregnancy photos a family affair! I had such a great time meeting her, her husband, and their four beautiful kiddos. Every pregnancy is unique and special, and I thought it was great that this mom felt confident putting her own unique twist on her maternity pictures.

We got some maternity portraits of just mom, and also several with her and her husband together. But she really wanted most of the emphasis to be on their growing family, so most of our session focused on group shots. This combination gave us a ton of options for posing and I love the variety! It was really sweet to see the relationships between each member of this family.

This new baby is going to be so loved! What a lucky mom to have so many helping hands as she gets ready to welcome her little one! I’m so glad she chose to Tiny Hearts Studio as her St. Cloud, MN maternity photographer. Loved creating this special family maternity studio session for her!

St. Cloud, MN Baby and Family Photographer | Cori’s First Birthday Session

Although cake smashes are hands-down the most popular option when it comes to a first birthday session, they’re far from the only option! For Cori’s one year milestone, we decided to do an outdoor family photoshoot. It turned out to be so fun!

We brought just a couple of props for Cori’s one year baby pictures, but mostly we used the grass, fields, and winding path as our backdrop. One of the great things about outdoor family photos is how much kids love to be outside! They really can just relax, play, and explore—and we’ll grab some great shots along the way!

There’s no time like sunset for outdoor portraits. The light is a perfect warm glow at that time of day, and there aren’t any harsh contrasts of sun and shadow for us to worry about.

We did a few posed family portraits. For the most part though, this baby and family photography session was very relaxed. We just enjoyed the beautiful weather, the great company, and the experience of capturing memories.

I love all these fun, candid shots!

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).
