Twin Cities Newborn Photography Studio: Classic, Emotive Portraits with Baby Olive
Baby girl newborn photo session
This is baby Olive, just a few days new and already completely adored. Her newborn session in our Minneapolis photography studio was filled with soft, neutral tones, delicate textures, and so much love.
We styled Olive in one of our most-loved newborn outfits and paired it with beautiful, delicate tiebacks from our curated studio collection. Her session included both bed and bowl poses, which are studio favorites for showing off all those sweet newborn features in a clean, timeless way.
At Lisa Poseley Photography, we specialize in fine art newborn portraits that are clean, classic, and baby-led. Our Minneapolis studio is designed to be peaceful and welcoming, so parents can relax while we create imagery that feels effortless and refined. Every session is tailored with care, from the textures and tones to the styling and lighting.
For Olive's mom, we used a soft, pale rose silk wrap for her portraits with her new daughter. It’s one of our most flattering and requested pieces, adding warmth and elegance without overpowering the connection. The resulting portraits feel quiet, natural, and beautifully intimate.
Dad joined us for our signature black and white parent portraits. These images are always so emotive, stripped of distractions and focused entirely on connection, light, and expression. They’ve become a defining part of the experience here, and are often the portraits families treasure most over time.
We also include family portraits in every newborn and family signature session. Whether it’s parents with baby, siblings, or a full family moment, these portraits are a beautiful and important part of telling your story.
And of course, every session must include the much-adored baby mugshots—those simple, expressive black and white portraits we create at every newborn, baby, and toddler session.
They’re clean, full of personality, and always a favorite. It’s incredible how much emotion and individuality can come through in such a minimal frame.
We also had a special guest join us—Grandma! Generational portraits are one of the most meaningful parts of the newborn experience, and we always make time to include them when family is present. We captured a beautiful moment of Olive in Grandma’s arms that the family will treasure for years to come.
The Newborn Experience at Our Minneapolis Studio
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled for 7–14 days after your baby’s birth. When you book with us, we reserve your due date and plan the exact session date once your little one arrives. Sessions are held in our cozy, light-filled Minneapolis studio, where everything is designed to be stress-free and streamlined.
You don’t need to bring anything—we provide a full wardrobe of timeless wraps, newborn outfits, and accessories, plus expert guidance on parent styling if you'd like to be in the portraits. We take care of soothing, wrapping, posing, and guiding you through every step.
Every image is gently and professionally retouched, and you’ll have the opportunity to select your favorite images and heirloom products during a guided reveal.
Signature Black & White Parent Portraits
One of the most defining elements of our Minneapolis newborn photography style is the black and white parent portrait. These portraits bring everything back to what matters most: connection, light, and presence. Whether it’s mom and baby snuggled close or a father’s strong arms holding his newborn, these images are powerful in their simplicity.
Our clients often say these are the photos that move them the most. They’re honest, timeless, and deeply personal.
