Molly Shields Photography bio picture

Thank You for visiting Molly Shields Photography

 

Thank you so much for visiting the Molly Shields Photography blog!

Based in the Twin Cities metro area, I'm a photographer who has developed a passion for capturing precious moments and memories.  With a special focus on families and children, I enjoy turning candid moments into timeless memories for my clients.

Experiencing motherhood and watching my children grow has ignited my passion for photography. Life's experiences become precious moments when captured through photography, and I feel blessed to give clients photographic treasures that last forever.

My goal is to capture the candid moments of magic, which express true loving relationships in their purest moments.

Jonah

I had the pleasure of meeting the Wilson family.  Jonah is almost 3 years old and so so sweet!  He was all smiles and had so much fun exploring the arboretum and all it had to offer!  Sarah and Mike are expecting another baby this fall and I am really looking forward to maternity pictures hopefully with all the beautiful leaves changing and newborn pictures when their bundle of joy arrives!  Sarah’s younger brother Cully came along and it’s obvious how much little Jonah loves his uncle!  I had a great time with you guys and I can’t wait to see you again in a month or two for maternity pictures!  Look at this beautiful family!!!!

Jonah had a blast catching bubbles with Mom……..

and his dad!

Baby Mattea

I had so much fun getting to take pictures of little Mattea!  Her daddy Nathan is a friend of mine from high school so it was wonderful getting to catch up with him and meet his beautiful wife Brit!  We had a blast during the photo shoot and Mattea was showing off how she could sit up all by herself at barely 5 months old!  Thank you so much Nathan and Brit for coming to the studio!  I had a wonderful time and I hope you love your photos!

It is obvious to see how much this little girl is loved!!!!

Beautiful Chaska Senior!

Meet Kyla…..She’s gorgeous and so sweet!  I’ve known Kyla’s family since before she was born.  I remember her as a little girl with her cute little Shirley Temple curls.  She is so grown up now and is such a beauty!  We spent the day together taking some pictures, and although it was SO HOT, we had a wonderful time!  Thank you Kyla for letting me take your pictures.  It was so much fun!  I hope you love them!

Waiting for baby!

Sara and Steve are expecting their first baby, a little girl, in about a month!  She toughed it out in the 90 degree weather for some outside pictures at a beautiful park in our neck of the woods.  I went to high school with Sara and it was so great getting to see her again and meet her husband Steve.  They were both so laid back and willing to do anything I was up for!  It’s always a treat to work with clients like them :)   Sara, you look amazing (you too Steve)!  I can’t wait to meet your beautiful little girl soon!

Baby Kaden!

This little guy is almost 6 months old and soooooooo cute!  His mommy is a friend of mine from college.  We had so much fun during the photo shoot, dressing up Kaden in different hats and leg warmers!  I’m sure he’ll love these pictures when he’s in high school!  Kaden was the best baby with lots of smiles!  I think he was pretty worn out from his photo shoot because he slept for two hours afterwards!  Thank you Jill for letting me take Kaden’s 6 month pictures, I had the best time!!!!Look at these eyes!  Aren’t they amazing?I’m pretty sure his face says it all!Daddy’s hat and shoes….so cute!

photographer photoshoot:)

I met up with some photographers that I am  lucky enough to call friends.  Shelley and Robin are so sweet and funny!  I really enjoyed meeting up with them, and of course we all brought our cameras just for fun!  Here are some photos from our time together ;)

Beautiful girls!

I got to do a very fun last minute session for one of my friends!  Ameera (4), Leah (2), and Aleese (8wks) are such gorgeous girls…..no surprise where they got their good looks once you see their mommy and daddy!  Thank you so much Fakir family for being so much fun to work with!  I hope you had as much fun getting photographed as I had photographing you!

Little Miss Leah!

Aleese

And Amira!

Beautiful Mama

I got to meet up with Cassie and Dominic today for some maternity photos and it was the perfect day for photos!  Not too warm (at least I liked that) and a bit overcast!  We went to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and I have to say I LOVE it there!  Cassie is due in about a month and looks great!  They make a beautiful couple, I’m sure their baby is going to be equally stunning!  I had so much fun meeting with you guys today, I can’t wait to meet your baby boy in August!

Cameron is home!!!!

I am so excited I got to take pictures of little Cameron in his house!  If you saw the first post I did of Cameron you’ll know that he was born premature at just under 33 weeks (click here to view).  He is now four weeks old an home from the hospital!  His mom and dad are obviously thrilled to have him in his own house and loving all the snuggling they get to do with him whenever they want now!  Cameron’s mom Sally is one of my best friends so I look forward to getting to see a lot more of Cam as he grows up!  I even got to feed him a bottle and snuggle him after our session!  How sweet to hold a tiny baby again….he’s still right around 6 lbs at 4 weeks old!  Thanks Sally and Scott for letting me come over and allowing me to be there with you guys now that your family is all under one roof!  Auntie Molly loves you Cam!!!A beautiful mama with her beautiful baby boy!  :)

And who can resist baby toes????

‘Gus’

Meet little August, aka Gus ( I think that’s the cutest nickname ever)!  He’s 8.5 months old with the biggest blue eyes!  Gus brought his mom and dad to the studio for some photos!  We had lots of fun playing, even though Gus was exhausted by the end of our session.  He did great!  It was wonderful meeting you Kay and Mitch!  I hope you love your pictures!I LOVE baby chubb!  Look at those knees! :)
