Nora | Minneapolis Baby Photographer

Posted on May 22, 2019 by Molly Shields

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.

So, I know I’m posting out of order, but with the relatively nice weather we’ve been having, I figured what better way to remind people that summer WILL be here before we know it! This session took place last August (I’m a bit behind on blogging so I’m trying to make up for it!!) when beautiful Miss Brooke came back for a milestone session! I’ve been lucky enough to photograph both of these adorable children since they’ve been newborns and I absolutely love their sessions each and every time! I mean, look at their adorable faces!!!! Ben and Brooke are just the cutest kids ever! I love asking a big sibling to kiss their younger sibling because the captures are always adorable and hilarious at the same time…..Check out this blast from the past and remember, it’s never too early to book your summer session! My schedule fills quickly!

Mia came back for her milestone session and is just as adorable as she was at her newborn session! She seems to have only gotten more hair, if that’s even possible! If you’d like to see the sneak peek from her newborn session, click HERE. Mia was such a happy girl and it was fun to see her personality come alive at the session. She looks so much like both of her parents depending on her demeanor. She resembles Mama when she has her big open mouthed contagious smile and her Daddy when she’s more reserved and shy. What a doll! Minneapolis Baby Photographer Molly Shields Photography

Tabitha | Minneapolis Baby Photographer

Tabitha came back to celebrate her 9 month birthday for her milestone session as part of her Babycakes Package! Seriously, this has become one of my favorite kind of sessions to photograph. Babies typically come in to celebrate their “sitting milestone” between 6 and 9 months of age. Ideally, when they can sit unassisted but not yet crawl, they are happy, not yet scared of strangers, and have nothing better to be trying to do since they can’t get away from where I put them lol! I love all the fun fancy little outfits I get to buy too!!! No more of my own little angels to dress in cute outfits at this age so I love to buy fun things for the studio for my clients to wear! One fun thing that her parents brought to her newborn session as well as her milestone session were their teddy bears and her teddy bear that they all received as babies. I loved getting to recreate the shot from her newborn session. We definitely didn’t expect a sleeping baby, but let’s face it, being a model is hard work and sometimes you just need a quick nap mid session! No problem, we just eased her into a comfortable position and piled on the teddy bears right around her! How sweet!!!!Below is her newborn session teddy shot and underneath that is her at 9 months with her teddy bears!

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…..
