View More Minnesota Newborn Photography Sessions

Newborn sessions happen right in the comfort of your home. This allows everyone to be relaxed, therefore creating the most magical and authentic portraits. If you don't feel like your home is suited for your newborn photo session there are tons of beautiful natural light studio rental options for you to choose from around the Twin Cities, Minnesota area.

We aim to take newborn photos during your baby's first few weeks of life, however I photograph babies of all ages.

You will cherish photographs of your newborn, from their tiny toes and fingers, to their sweet sleepy smiles. Your photos will feature your baby's unique features as I am intentional about creating photos that embody your baby's true emotions.

My newborn photography style is both timeless and natural. Babies are posed in natural positions only. My light, bright, and neutral colored palette creates a style of imagery that will look beautiful and timeless in your home and baby album.

Thank you!

Rachael has been absolutely amazing for us! She did our maternity photos, newborn and family photos and I couldn't be more happy with them! She is so good with babies and super patient. You can tell she adores what she does and truly loves capturing these moments for families. I am so thankful she has the option to print photos as well because as a mom it's easy to forget to print them! I would recommend Rachael over and over again!

Rachael was fantastic to work with for our family photo session. She is laid back, patient and all around fun to work with - which was essential when trying to capture little smiles on an active one year old! Our session was so fun, and there was no rush to get through it either, which again is important with the kiddos. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She delivered a high quality gallery (so many amazing photos to choose from!) in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Rachael for your next photography session!

I never write reviews, but I was blown away with Rachael’s talent! She is laid back, patient and professional. She took her time photographing our newborn and really has a knack for taking natural photos. She was super flexible with coming to our home for the sessions and communicated throughout the entire process. I have always found taking pictures to be awkward, but she made me feel comfortable and was able to capture beautiful photos. Rachael’s dedication and passion for photography really does shine through each one of her photos. She was a joy to work with and you can tell she really does enjoy what she does! We are excited to have her booked for our 6 month and 1 year photos for our daughter!

We had a maternity session and newborn photos done by Rachael and we are so glad to have them! She is talented and professional, was fun and easy going to work with, and created a very comfortable and natural environment that allowed us to be ourselves. She was able to capture beautiful moments in time we will cherish, including timeless candid photos that are beautiful framed and proudly displayed on our walls. I would recommend Rachael for any photography need. We are beyond impressed with her!
