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.

Hank & Blair | Minneapolis Family Photographer

Posted on April 4, 2019 by Molly Shields

I photographed this adorable little duo for their two year pictures! Two year olds can be a handful…..TWO two year olds can be….well, you get it. I’ve been photographing these cuties since their newborn photos. Their personalities have been evident and seem as different as night and day since the very beginning. Blair is all about the attention and LOVES the camera. Can you tell?!?! Hank seems a bit more reserved and didn’t want to be bothered to take pictures. Eventually we played hide and seek and Hank loved it….for a couple minutes at least….typical toddler 🙂 Can’t wait to see these beautiful faces again!

The “B” Family | Minneapolis Family Photographer

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!

The V Family | St. Paul Family Photographer

How adorable is this little family on their front porch?!? Maddie turned two this fall and Coulter turned 7! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them since Maddie’s newborn pictures. Melanie and Brad love their St. Paul home and wanted to do this year’s photo session at a location in St. Paul so we decided what would be better than in their own little neighborhood! It’s always so much fun to photograph people in a location that is meaningful to them! Now they will have these images years from now to remind their kids of the home they grew up in!

Monty | Minneapolis Children’s Photographer

This girl….I’ve taken pictures of her since she was a newborn! I have known her mom and been friends with her since high school. Every time I see her she seems a bit shy…..but then I bring out my camera and she lights up! It’s like she’s an entirely different person. Adorable poses come out of nowhere and I just happily click away while she does her thing 🙂 Montgomery (Monty for short) is the cutest little thing and my friend Amy and I thought it would be really fun to do a “Mommy and Me” session of sorts. Amy is great with putting outfits together and chose the perfect dresses and halos to wear. Our original plan was to wait for just the right time and photograph them in front of some beautiful cherry blossom trees, but, we weren’t quick enough. We decided to wait until a bit later in the season and photographed our session at this gorgeous park in Edina. I absolutely LOVE all the green in the background and it really makes their dresses stand out. I hope you love this session as much as I loved photographing it!
