There is something so beautiful about taking newborn photos outdoors, especially when the setting is as pretty as this one. This sweet newborn session took place in the St. Joseph, Minnesota area in a field filled with soft grasses and wildflowers. The light was beautiful, the colors were soft and earthy, and it all came together for such a peaceful and heartfelt session.

One of my favorite things about outdoor newborn sessions is how relaxed and natural they can feel. This session focused on simple moments between mom, dad, and their baby girl, while also capturing a few sweet portraits of just baby surrounded by all the beauty of the field.

A Peaceful Outdoor Newborn Session

This session had such a calm and quiet feel to it from the very beginning. We started with family photos along the path and out in the field, letting the scenery frame those first sweet moments together as a family. The open sky, soft grasses, and little wildflowers made everything feel extra dreamy.

Outdoor newborn sessions have such a different feel than in home sessions, but in the best way. They feel airy, natural, and full of movement while still keeping the focus on your baby and your connection as a family.

Simple Baby Portraits in the Field

Some of my favorite images from this session were the simple portraits of baby girl on a blanket and tucked into a basket in the grass. Her soft pink outfit and bow worked so beautifully with the muted greens and warm tones of the field.

These kinds of portraits are such a sweet way to capture all those tiny newborn details while still keeping the overall feel natural and true to the setting.

Sweet Moments with Mom and Dad

There were so many sweet moments between this baby girl and her parents throughout the session. I loved capturing the way they looked at her, smiled at her, and held her close. Some of the best moments were the simple ones, just mom cuddling her baby, dad holding her and looking down at her, and the three of them all snuggled together.

Those are always the moments that matter most. The way this season felt. The way your baby fit in your arms. The little expressions and in between moments that you never want to forget.

Why Outdoor Newborn Sessions Are So Special

Outdoor newborn sessions are such a beautiful option when the weather cooperates. They bring together the softness of newborn photos with the natural beauty of the outdoors, creating images that feel timeless, relaxed, and full of life.

This St. Joseph area session was such a perfect example of that. The peaceful setting, warm light, and sweet connection between these three made for such a beautiful evening.

A Beautiful Newborn Season to Remember

This session was simple in the best way. Just a sweet baby girl, her proud parents, and a beautiful natural setting to document this season of life. It was such an honor to capture these memories for them, and this flower field made the whole session feel even more special.

These early days go by so quickly, and newborn sessions like this are such a meaningful way to hold onto them.
