Sejal is one! | Minneapolis Newborn and Family Photographer

Posted on July 25, 2014 by Molly Shields

I’m lucky to call this sweet little peanut my niece! Isn’t she just the cutest?!? This shoot was extra special because we took Sejal’s one year pictures on the same bridget that I took her mom and dad’s engagement pictures four and a half years ago!!!! Sejal turned one at the end of May and just started walking about the same time! She is always happy and smiley and just a sweet little princess all around 🙂 We had fun doing Sejal’s pictures even after she’d had a full day of daycare and it was getting close to bedtime. You’d never know it! I wish my babies were this well behaved! Love you Sej!!! Minneapolis newborn and family photographer

The Norton Family | Minneapolis Family and Newborn Photographer

Posted on July 20, 2014 by Molly Shields

This family has a very special place in my heart. I met them a few years ago when I photographed a little boy who was a close family friend who was undergoing a bone marrow transplant. They have become very close to his family because they have so many shared experiences. Mara, who is now 14 has undergone 2 bone marrow transplants along with countless other surgeries, and most recently a kidney transplant! Her dad was the donor of the new kidney! What greater gift can you give to your child?!?! This family has a long road to recovery ahead of them, but I am constantly inspired by their faith, positivity and general outlook on life. Please keep this very amazing family in your thoughts and prayers! Tina, I had such a wonderful time photographing all of you! Thank you for letting me into your life and your journey! You are always in my prayers 🙂 Enjoy your sneak peek! Minneapolis family photographer

Eden | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer

Posted on July 14, 2014 by Molly Shields

I think this may be one of my most favorite newborn sessions ever!!!! I had so much fun collaborating with Tara from A Splendid Adventure Photography. She operates out of Grand Rapids, so if you’re up in the area and looking for pictures, I HIGHLY recommend her! Check her out on facebook, she does amazing work! Eden is the third daughter of one of my friends that I’ve had since high school. It was such a pleasure getting to spend time with Jen, Adam, Nora, Charlotte and baby Eden. The big sisters did so amazing for their pictures, and they sure do love their little sissy! She’s going to be in good hands at home 🙂 Jennifer and Adam, thank you for letting me take such precious pictures of your amazing family! Love you guys <3 Redman29 Minneapolis Newborn Photographer Redman27

Luca turns 1 | Minneapolis newborn and child photographer

Posted on July 8, 2014 by Molly Shields

I have been lucky enough to get to see this awesome family at least twice a year for the last couple of years and I’m looking forward to the next few as well! Little Luca turned one about a month ago and we had to reschedule our session 4 DIFFERENT times because of the rain! It was ridiculous! I was beginning to think the session was never going to happen, but luckily the 5th time was a charm. The weather was beautiful, the kids were happy and we had an awesome shoot! Natalie and Steve, I look forward to seeing you guys every time you have a session!!! I can’t wait to see you guys again in the future 🙂 Enjoy your sneak peeks!
