Maternity & Families
Minneapolis Lifestyle Photographer
The Little Moments Matter the Most
Life moves quickly, and some of the sweetest seasons often pass by before we realize it. From the quiet anticipation of pregnancy to the joyful chaos of family life, these moments deserve to be remembered.
As a Minneapolis lifestyle photographer, my maternity and family sessions are relaxed and designed to emphasize human connection. I guide you through natural interactions so your photos feel genuine — full of laughter, cuddles, and the little in-between moments that make your family uniquely yours.

FAQ
01. Do you offer mini sessions?
I no longer offer mini sessions as a "one off" session. I do offer a few rounds of mini sessions at set locations on specific dates throughout the year that are a shortened session. Follow my Instagram page (@framingfairytales) to be informed when dates are released for these sessions.
02. When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?
Most maternity sessions take place between 28–34 weeks, when your baby bump is beautifully visible but you’re still comfortable enough to move around during the session. If you're hoping for photos during a specific season, I recommend booking a few months in advance.
03. What if my kids don’t cooperate during the session?
That’s completely normal — and honestly expected. My sessions are relaxed and designed to let kids be themselves. Instead of forcing stiff poses, I guide families through natural prompts that encourage movement, laughter, and genuine interaction. Some of the best photos come from those playful, in-between moments.
04. What should we wear to our session?
I always recommend outfits that feel comfortable and reflect your personal style. Soft, neutral tones and coordinating colors tend to photograph beautifully, but the most important thing is that you feel confident and like yourself. Once you book, I’m happy to offer guidance to help you choose outfits that photograph well together.
