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 🙂

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

Lena | Minneapolis Baby Photographer

Lena came back for her milestone session this winter and she is just as cute as a button!  You may remember seeing a few of her sneak peeks on facebook.  She gave me a full open mouth smile like I’ve never seen before on a newborn!  Well, she showed up ready to impress this time too!  Lena you are just as gorgeous and sweet as the first time I met you!  I had so much fun photographing your 6 month milestone!  Can’t wait to see you again this summer/fall for your final session in your Babycakes Plan! First, a couple of favorites from her newborn session…..Minneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields PhotographyMinneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields Photography

The M Family | Minneapolis Family Photographer

Sweet little Nora came back for her milestone session since she is part of my Babycakes Plan.  This girl is gorgeous just like her big sister, and no surprise where they get it after seeing Mom and Dad 🙂  I absolutely have LOVED photographing this family for the past several years and watching them go from a couple anxiously awaiting the birth of their first daughter through her first year and then adding baby Nora to the group and finally taking pictures as a family of four with a toddler and a baby!  We took a few shots in the studio but then wanted to grab some shots outside for the family since it was so beautiful!  I always LOVE the studio sessions for the babies that come back for their sitter milestone session.  I love the look dramatic lighting can give and the dark wood background really allows the focus to be all about the baby!  I mean, look at those eyes!!!!!  Can’t wait to see Nora again for her last session as part of her Babycakes Plan next spring!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 Photography
