Cozy Candid In-Home Newborn Family Photos in Minnesota

Your first days at home with your baby are a chapter you’ll never forget. One day you’ll look back and wonder how small they once were. You’ll reminisce back to how your days felt in those first months.

That’s why I love in home newborn family photography. Photography keeps this chapter alive long after it’s gone and preserves the way your home held the very beginning of your family’s story.

I adore in-home newborn sessions because they’re relaxed, meaningful, and full of the little details that make your space yours. Whether you’re in the South Metro, St. Paul, or Minneapolis, these sessions let us document your family’s first days together exactly as they are—on the living room couch, in the nursery rocker, or even in that corner of the kitchen where you warm midnight bottles.

A secret worry for many new parents is, “I hope our space isn’t too messy for you.” I get it. But here’s the truth: no perfectly styled room could replace the feeling already living in your walls. This time in your life is happening now. Why not capture it authentically, in the home where you’ll make so many of your family’s first memories?

Tips for Your Indoor Family Session

If you’re considering an in-home newborn session, here are a few easy prep tips that make all the difference (and no, they do not include “deep clean your whole house”):

  • Tidy the front stoop or entryway – It’s often the first photo spot we hit for a bit of natural light.

  • Clear surfaces in common living spaces – Living room, kitchen, and nursery get the most use during a session, so a quick surface declutter goes a long way.

  • Think storytelling, not staging – We’ll focus on real activities in your spaces—rocking the baby, cuddling on the couch, or slow dancing in the kitchen.

  • Use your best windows – I’ll naturally gravitate toward large windows and open blinds for soft, flattering light.
