Courtney is expecting her first baby, a sweet little girl. She wanted the maternity photos to feel really classic and simple, so we decided to do them in the beautiful Brooke Elisabeth Studio. She decided on three different looks – a flowy blush gown, a two-piece white set, and a bodycon black dress. All suited her perfectly and gave her completely different vibes. I highly recommend keeping your maternity session simple and in one location so that you have the bandwidth to do multiple outfits for variety.

Calvin and Elliot have a new baby brother! James is here and has the sweetest brothers to guide him through life. The big brothers spent the session loving on their brother, singing him songs to soothe him (my heart was in a puddle) and of course, having a little fun along the way! I love how this newborn lifestyle session was truly a moment frozen in time. It captures the little baby bits, but also captures this stage of life with 3 littles. The sweet moments and the crazy ones. Welcome to the world, James.

This Christmas baby was quite the gift to per parents Poly and RJ! Little Liv was born around the holidays, and since her house is being renovated, we opted for a natural-light studio in Minneapolis for her newborn photos. I couldn’t be happier with how cozy and intimate they turned out!
