Studio Photographer Makeup Artist

At Tiny Hearts Studio, whether you’re here for a maternity session or coming in with your newborn or family, we want you to feel gorgeous! Our studio photographers will help you with choosing outfits and posing, and our amazing makeup artist, Marisol, can help you look and feel your absolute best!

Why a Professional Makeup Artist?

While you’re certainly welcome to do your own makeup, there are a couple of reasons you might want to go with a professional. First is the experience. A photoshoot should feel glamorous and fun—and getting your makeup done by a pro makes it even more special. There’s also the fact that makeup for photography tends to be heavier than what you wear on a daily basis. With a professional makeup artist like Marisol, you can be confident that your makeup is just right and will photograph beautifully. After all, these photos are your treasured memories, and you want them to be perfect!

How to Add Makeup Services to Your Photography Package

If you’d like to add makeup services to your photography session, please get in touch with us! We’d be happy to get you scheduled prior to your session. Makeup generally takes about an hour and your session will take about an hour and a half (for maternity) to two or three hours (for newborn), so please plan accordingly!

Here’s a quick before-and-after of one of our lovely mamas. As you can see, her makeup is absolutely perfect for her photos. Doesn’t she look gorgeous?

We can’t wait to see you at one of our studios in Minnesota for your very own beautiful photoshoot!

Studio Maternity Photos | St. Cloud, MN Maternity Photographer

Did you know that when you book with Tiny Hearts Studio, our studio maternity photos include the full package? Hair, makeup, wardrobe—you name it! We believe that professional pregnancy photos should be a chance for you to relax and enjoy the experience of being a beautiful mom model! This recent maternity photography session is a great example of the full studio maternity portrait experience.

Mom and dad both came in for the session, which was wonderful! Before we got started with the camera, our professional makeup artist took care of mom’s makeup. Doing makeup for photos can be a little different than day-to-day wear, so having a professional take care of it is just one more way to make sure your pregnancy photos are perfect.

Afterwards, we all had a great time selecting maternity gowns and outfits from the studio wardrobe! Mom liked the darker colors, and we went with similar backdrops for a moodier vibe. The blacks and grays provided a great contrast with her lighter coloring. Dad also really liked the throne prop, so we incorporated that as well, which was such a fun touch!

Can’t wait to see this couple back again in a couple of months with their little one!

If you’re on the lookout for studio maternity photos in Minnesota, we’d love to provide you with an experience that’s customized down to the last detail! Just fill out our contact form and we’ll be in touch soon!

Maternity Photographer in Chanhassen MN | Johanne & Family

Did you all have a wonderful Christmas? I certainly hope so! And now it’s time for new beginnings and fresh starts. What better time to share the pregnancy pictures from Johanne’s beautiful maternity photography session?

Johanne and her family came to my photography studio in Chanhassen, MN to get some pictures together as they prepared to welcome a new arrival. Big sister was such a cutie, and very excited to help take care of the new little one. I’m sure she’ll be an awesome helper to Mom and Dad!

I also loved the intimate couples maternity portraits we were able to capture.

We picked out several beautiful maternity outfits from my client closet for Johanne to wear. The gold sequins went so beautifully with her dark hair and gorgeous skin.

The blue tulle is so fun and elegant—loved it paired with pearls!

And of course, you can’t go wrong with black. It’s one of those classics that is universally flattering and gives a sleek, modern vibe to photos.

Johanne was an absolutely stunning mom model! So glad I had the chance to work with her and meet her adorable family.

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!
