When to book your newborn photoshoot
The ideal time to photograph a newborn is within the first 5 to 14 days after birth, when the baby is still sleepy and flexible for those adorable, curled-up poses. Our Minneapolis studio provides a controlled, warm, and calm environment perfect for your baby’s comfort and safety. For premature babies, photos are often taken at their adjusted 5-14-day age, and these sessions are always successful. We can photograph babies a little older, although this may limit the poses that can be achieved.
Newborn photo sessions typically last 2 to 3 hours, allowing time for feeding, changing, and comforting your baby. The time goes by quickly, and it is really a sweet and memorable experience.
Styling & Prep
While many clients are drawn to my signature style and ask me to design their sessions, I’m happy to have a call to plan the styling with you ahead of time. When you arrive at your newborn photoshoot, we’ll review the selections and make any necessary adjustments. After booking, you’ll receive a prep guide including tips for what to wear. I’m always happy to assist with wardrobe questions and am available to help at any time.
You’re welcome to bring a special item or family heirloom to incorporate into the session. If you have a rainbow baby or another significant experience to share in the session, that is something we can plan to discuss on how to address it best.
After Your Session
Within ten days after your newborn photography session, your preview gallery will be ready for viewing. This is where you’ll see your retouched images for the first time and select your favorites, choosing between digital images, artwork, or a combination of both to build your collection. Purchased digital images are delivered within one week via your private online gallery with long-term access.
Your purchased images will be accessible with long-term gallery access, access to our professional print store and card designer, allowing you to order additional prints and custom cards directly from the manufacturer whenever you wish.

Baby Plan: Documenting The First Year
Your newborn session is often the beginning of a wonderful friendship and many years of documenting your family's story! Our exclusive Baby Plan is designed to beautifully capture your baby's remarkable first year, offering a savings of approximately 30% compared to booking individual sessions. This comprehensive plan can include a maternity session, followed by milestone sessions at 4, 7, and 12 months, documenting every giggle, crawl, and first step. These ages are the perfect time to capture your baby’s milestones, from crawling to sitting to standing at their first birthday. The One-Year-Old session is typically conducted as a birthday cake smash session. We especially love seeing these little ones return for their first birthday cake smash session!
“Lisa is hands down a miracle worker when it comes to working with newborns and children! She welcomed us into her studio, and made us feel so incredibly comfortable and immediately like family. She truly wants to capture your personal style and special moments perfectly! Lisa's quality of work speaks for itself and her product far exceeds expectations. Our newborn and 1 year old sessions were perfect! We shopped and shopped for a newborn photographer and she was the perfect fit for our family. Will be using her talent over and over in the future!”

“Lisa was the perfect photographer to choose for newborn photos of our son. As first time parents, she made us feel at ease immediately. We could tell right away she was a mother herself and found ourselves soaking up all the advice we could while watching her take beautiful photos we will cherish for a lifetime. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and the experience was better than we could have hoped for. We will definitely be going to her for future photos of our family.”
