Amelia’s Newborn Pictures | St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer

Check out this little nugget! You’d never know it, but we had to divide up Amelia’s newborn pictures over two different sessions. Poor baby girl wasn’t feeling super well for either one. We think she had a bit of a tummy ache. As a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer, one of the many skills I’ve mastered is flexibility! You just never know what to expect from these little ones, and while I absolutely want you to have a ton of beautiful baby photos to choose from, I also want to listen to your little one and make sure they’re as comfortable and happy as possible. We can do both, but sometimes it requires some creativity!

You can see that by allowing our session to be baby-led and being flexible enough to do two shorter sessions, we got a gorgeous collection of newborn images! I loved capturing all the details of Amelia’s tiny fingers and perfect little mouth—tongue sticking out and all!

Mom and Dad were so excited to welcome this sweet cherub, and I love the precious newborn and parent pictures we took.

If you’re looking for a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer who will go the extra mile for you, please get in touch! My priority is making sure both you and your baby have a great experience—and that you end up with beautiful newborn pictures!

Newborn Baby Girl | St. Cloud, MN Newborn Photographer

Do you want a treat? Then check out the pictures from this sweet newborn baby girl’s photo session! It doesn’t get much more precious than this. That hair! Those cheeks! Her perfect little lips—I could go on, but there’s no need. Just keep scrolling!

We chose lots of nice fluffy textures for this baby girl’s pictures. I love cloud-soft swaddles and thick crocheted or knitted caps for baby photos.

The colors we picked out ended up being so pretty too! The white was just beautiful and gave our photos such a crisp, bright look. And the coral and lavender gave us the perfect amount of color to lend some variety and allow us to play around a little.

Like most babies, this little girl loved to be swaddled. (As a St. Cloud, MN newborn photographer, swaddles are one of my favorite things! They look great, and babies adore feeling all snuggly and safe in them.) She also did great with our other poses too. I really like the naked baby poses since they gave me a chance to highlight all those baby rolls and dimples!

Sweet dreams, baby girl!

Newborn & Family Photoshoot | Central MN Photographer

Anyone else excited for the holidays? I know I am! For me, holidays are all about family, which is why it was so nice to do this newborn and family photoshoot earlier this month. Lizbeth and Kevin brought their new baby girl Ariany to the studio for pictures—and Grandma was able to come too!

I had met Lizbeth earlier when I did her maternity session, so it was fantastic to have her back in the studio and to meet the rest of the family. Especially the new little arrival! Ariany was such a cutie and had the most beautiful dark hair. Everything about her was perfect—down to those tiny fingers and toes. (I couldn’t resist a few closeups).

Although we kept our family photos pretty neutral with grays and whites, we wanted to do all girl for the baby-only portion of this newborn and family photoshoot. What could be better than pink and gold? I think Ariany liked it too. We got a sweet half-awake smile out of her!

This family is totally in love with their new bundle, and who can blame them? I loved capturing all of them together.

If you need a central MN photographer for your baby pictures, family pictures, or any other portraits, look no further! With years in the business and a passion for portraiture, Tiny Hearts Studio is the perfect place to capture your family’s memories. Can’t wait for your session!

Holiday Maternity Photos | St. Cloud, MN Photography Studio

It’s that time of year—time for presents, treats, and, if you’re getting ready to welcome a little one in the coming year, holiday maternity photos!

It was wonderful to welcome this mother-to-be to my St. Cloud, MN photography studio earlier this month. Since it was December, we wanted to do a holiday theme while still getting pictures that she could enjoy year-round. We decided that a red, green, white, and gold color scheme would be perfect! That way when mom mixes and matches the pictures she’ll get that festive vibe we wanted to capture, but she can also use the maternity pictures featuring white and gold for a more neutral look.

We picked out some really pretty outfits to show off that beautiful baby bump! If you’re planning a maternity photo session, don’t stress about what to wear. While you’re welcome to bring your own outfits, I also have plenty of choices at the photo studio.

And while you’re planning, keep props in mind too! They aren’t just for newborn pictures. As a St. Cloud, MN maternity photographer I also keep plenty that can be used for pregnancy pictures too. I loved the choice of the throne and angel wings for this mama—they played in perfectly to our holiday theme while still being great stand-alone props too.

If you’re getting ready to welcome a little one soon, I hope you’ll contact me! Whether you want maternity photos, newborn photos, or both, I’d love to work with you to plan a session you’ll absolutely love!

Happy Holidays!

St. Cloud, MN Maternity Photographer | Lizbeth’s {35 weeks} Maternity Session

Lizbeth’s maternity shoot was nothing short of amazing. Her husband Keviin and her are basically models and she put off this Kim Kardashian vibe the entire time she was at the studio. This green bodysuit by Sew Trendy Accessories was my favorite though everything she wore, she wore it well. She looked so elegant in our couture gown by Katharina Hakaj Couture.

We could feel the love between this couple; both Lizbeth and Keviin were such naturals in front of the camera which made it really easy to photograph them. I was impressed how easily Lizbeth posed at 35 weeks pregnant. From experience, it can be hard to get around by that time!

It shouldn’t be much longer before we are sharing photos of their newborn as they’ll be returning to our studio for their newborn photoshoot as well. We are looking forward to meeting the baby behind your bump, Lizbeth! Best of luck with your labor and delivery.
