Bright Eyes | Twin Cities Lifestyle Photographer

This little sweetheart was the most aware 8 day old I have ever met.  There was a point when I swear she was following my camera with her eyes…is that even possible?  Either way, she is a very special little girl…and I am overjoyed that I will be photographing her throughout her first year of…

Keeping it Real. | Minneapolis Photography Studio |

This little guy was the first newborn to grace my home studio!  I went to college with his parents…so it was extra special to take his first photos.  He is going to be VERY loved with 2 big sisters and a big brother!  I love the photographs of him and his mommy…capturing that connection during…

The photographer did an awesome job Angela…these are precious!

I meant, been saying the same for awhile. I believe the other artistic images of babies sell very well so it does come down to what the parents want and will pay for in the end. It’s nice when you have a friend who trusts you to take timeless images like these.

Patricia @cichlee - March 13, 2012 - 1:05 am

Amen. Been the same for awhile. I don’t understand the babies hanging from trees and “folded” in boxes. they need no props, just parents. Beautiful series Jess. Congrats on studio! Perfect.

Hello Baby! | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer |

Another beautiful little newbie!  This little girl was sweet and sleepy…I kinda wanted to take her home with me .  I can’t wait to see her again in six months…photographing these littles for the first year of their lives is my favorite part of being a child photographer!

Little Light. | Twin Cities Newborn Photographer |

Meet Baby M.  I fell totally in love with him during our short time together.  He hardly slept a wink for me…but that was ok since I was finding it hard to tear my eyes away from his anyway!  It’s amazing how a 7 day old baby can shine so bright and have you walking…

Before Our Eyes | MN Baby Photographer |

Awww!  Remember sweet and tiny Miss M.? Well, she is still sweet…but not as tiny anymore .  One of my favorite things is watching my newborn clients grow up.  There’s always a surprise in store each time I see them…they change so much in a few short months.  I was smitten with her as a…

Little Sister | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer |

I had such a fun morning with this family.  Not only did I get to photograph a beautiful newborn little girl…but I got to have a play session with her big brother.  There isn’t anything I enjoy more than a wild little boy with a completely contagious smile.  These 2 are going to have a…

Mr. Expressive | Baby Photographer |

This little guy was certainly one the most active and expressive newborns I have ever photographed.  I couldn’t believe all the adorable faces I saw as I proofed the session…maybe he is going to be an actor or comedian when he grows up .  Anyway, he made the session fun and memorable…welcome to the world,…

Sweet Baby. | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer |

I adore this little family.  I did their maternity pictures a month or 2 ago and was more than happy to make the drive to Rochester to photograph their newborn son.  They are just fun to be around.  Laid back and full of laughs.  You guys are going to be such great parents.  Congratulations! And…

I think we are having a bit of a baby boom here…and I’ve been loving it.  Miss M. is no exception.  Perfect skin…10 perfect tiny fingers and toes.  And as sweet as can be…so good for me and easy to work with.  I honestly didn’t want to give her back at the end of the…
