There is something so special about those first days with a new baby. The tiny features, sleepy stretches, and quiet moments together go by so quickly. As a Central Minnesota newborn photographer, I love creating relaxed, heartfelt images that help families remember this season in an honest and beautiful way. My approach is natural and baby led, with a focus on comfort, connection, and preserving the little details you never want to forget.

"Kelsey did SUCH an amazing job with our family photos! She made the entire experience easy and comfortable."
Newborn sessions with me are meant to feel easy, relaxed, and natural. You do not need to stress about your baby being perfectly sleepy or everything going exactly as planned. I leave plenty of room for feedings, diaper changes, breaks, and all the little in between moments that are just part of life with a new baby.
I will gently guide you throughout the session while still leaving space for real moments to unfold naturally. My goal is to create a mix of heartfelt lifestyle images and a few softly posed baby portraits that feel timeless, genuine, and true to your family.

As a mama myself, I know the pregnancy/ postpartum period is A LOT. I know you probably have a million things going on in your head. Let me take a little off your plate & make sure you get these precious moments captured in the absolute most stress free way possible. I will handle everything, my goal is to make the session a time you are able to relax, feel at ease, and soak in all of the newborn snuggles. Those are the moments I love to capture.
I'm also super flexible! I am absolutely here as a friend/ fellow mama. Say baby was up all night the night before the session, I am OKAY with reschedules and am not a stickler for time if you or baby need to take a break during the session.
