About Molly Shields

Molly Shields is a Minneapolis Newborn Photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, child and family photography Minneapolis and surrounding areas.

Max | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer

Oh my word.  This boy.  Look at him!  He is as sweet as he is gorgeous!  He was a perfect angel at our session and slept the entire time!  I am so so excited that I will get to photograph this guy again as he is now participating in the baby plan where I will get to photograph him when he can sit up and again when he can walk.  His parents and I laughed because I had to close his little mouth several times during his session because he would be so relaxed that it would just hang wide open :).  Apparently he’s a little mouth breather at home, so that wasn’t new to them!  Max, you are so so sweet and it was so much fun spending time in the studio with you!  Can’t wait to see you again <3

Ruthie | Minneapolis Newborn and Baby Photographer

I suppose the one thing about being really behind on blogging is that I have the opportunity to show some fun “then & now” pictures.  I photographed Ruthie as a newborn and I recently got to see her again for her milestone session!  Ruthie’s milestone session was one of the first at my new studio in NE Minneapolis, only about a block away from my old studio space.  I love the white brick and the beautiful natural light we have in this space! Both she and her brother are as cute as can be and I have loved getting to photograph their family for the last 2+ years since Max was born!  Ruthie and Max were so great at the studio and I love what we captured!  It’s always a goal to capture at least a few shots of baby wide awake as a newborn and she is as cute as can be in her wide awake shot 🙂

Everett | Minneapolis Newborn Photographer

Everett came ready for a good time to his newborn session 🙂  It was so much fun to see his Mom and Dad and big brother Hunter, whom I’ve been photographing since Hunter’s maternity session.  Everett looks SO much like Hunter did, although he just started out a couple pounds larger!  Look at those big beautiful wide awake eyes.  I’m so excited to get to photograph Everett as he grows up!  His next session will be here before we know it!Minneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Newborn Photographer Molly Shields Photography

Isabela | Minneapolis Maternity and Newborn Photographer

This family is just the best.  It has been such fun to document the growth of their family from a maternity session with a couple expecting their first child, newborn and milestone sessions for sweet Davi and now the maternity and newborn session of their beautiful new addition Isabela.  The term “rainbow baby” has been used to describe babies who are born after a miscarriage, stillbirth or loss of a child, much like a rainbow that appears after a storm. Although Isabela isn’t a rainbow baby by that definition, this little angel is a survivor and has a story that definitely shows she is the rainbow after the storm. This little girl underwent emergency brain surgery at less than 48 hours old after Mom noticed she had been having seizures that were originally dismissed by doctors. After a nurse witnessed the seizures she underwent a series of tests and was transported to children’s hospital where she was prepped for surgery to save her life. It was later determined that sweet Isabela had suffered a stroke while she was still in her Mama’s belly. Did I mention that Isabela had her surgery on Christmas Day? This family has been through so much in the last few months and they have this beautiful and PERFECT little girl here by the grace of God. This picture was taken less than 3 months after her brain surgery, and less than 3.5 weeks after another surgery to reattach her skull from the original surgery. I am completely in awe of this beautiful little girl and her family who have endured so much in her first few months of life!

Nora | Minneapolis Baby Photographer

I’m playing a bit of catch up once again on blogging but I couldn’t let this session go, even though it’s from last summer!  Sweet Nora is one of my baby planners.  I’ve had the pleasure of working with her Mama and Daddy since they were pregnant with her big sister Maya.  I’ve photographed countless sessions for them and documented Maya’s first year and now I’m part way through Nora’s!  Isn’t this girl just gorgeous?  Although I love smiling pictures, there is something so sweet about those big blue eyes and her somber facial expression.  She reminds me of a delicate little porcelain doll. We photographed her individual images indoors at my studio in Minneapolis and then went to a park in Edina to capture more candid and playful family images.Minneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Family Photographer Molly Shields Photography
