Motherhood Studio Session in Minneapolis - MN Mommy & Me Photos

Minneapolis Motherhood Photography | Light-Filled Studio Session

This motherhood session in my NE Minneapolis studio was filled with softness, emotion, and quiet connection. Petite in length but big in meaning, it was a beautiful reminder of why these sessions matter so much.

Photographed in early March, the space felt warm and peaceful, with soft florals and neutral tones welcoming us into the season ahead. Mama wore a flowing blush gown and her baby girl looked angelic in a white two piece and delicate headband. The styling from my studio wardrobe was simple and timeless, allowing their bond to shine.

Motherhood Session Information

A Studio Motherhood Session That Told a Real Story

Before the session, this mother shared openly about her journey into motherhood. After a tough postpartum year filled with anxiety and adjustment, this shoot became a milestone. A way to mark the progress, the healing, and the beauty she’s creating in the midst of it all.

She told me, “I’m a new mom with lots of postpartum anxiety, so this was a treat to feel beautiful with my baby.”

Hair and makeup were beautifully done by Lisa Christine Artistry, and from the moment she stepped in front of the camera, she radiated strength and softness all at once. Her baby was full of personality—clapping, smiling, and offering the sweetest peekaboo moments.

She later wrote, “This was such a special experience for us and I cannot wait for these photos to be part of our family history. Michele is so professional, she has an incredible eye for capturing moments while naturally adapting to young children… Our photos made me proud of the journey I’ve been on.”

That’s what these sessions are all about. Not just pretty pictures. But proud, powerful memories.

Petite Studio Sessions for Minneapolis Mamas

Motherhood sessions are available year-round in the studio and run about 30 minutes. They’re perfect for busy mamas who want meaningful, light-filled portraits without the time commitment of a full signature session. Everything is styled and ready—you just show up, breathe, and connect with your little one. I’ll take care of the rest.

These sessions are designed to be calm, efficient, and filled with heart. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply want to be in the frame for once, you’ll walk away with images that feel like your story.
