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.

Stevie is here and is so loved. This is the perfect example of being able to do a beautiful in-home newborn session even if you don’t have a nursery set up for your little one or if your nursery doesn’t have good natural light. These dreamy photos of little Stevie on her parent’s bed and in a changing basket are so lovely, dainty and sweet. This newborn session was so special because it’s for my clients Hannah and Clint. I’ve photographed them many times throughout the years – their engagement session in Duluth, their intimate family-only wedding during the height of covid, their large wedding celebration, pregnancy announcement, maternity, and more. What an honor to be able to capture this stage of life for them.

Baby Rose was welcomed into a family with 3 older sisters and an older brother to protect and dote on her. The adoration that all these kids have for their new baby sister was as sweet as can be.
