Menomonie Baby & Newborn Photographer
Natural, authentic baby & newborn photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Menomonie Baby & Newborn Photographer
Welcoming a new baby is one of life's most precious — and fastest-disappearing — moments. As a newborn photographer serving Menomonie, I specialize in gentle, naturally-lit newborn portraits that capture your baby's tiny features, the curl of their fingers, and the way they look at you in the first weeks of life. Sessions take place either in your home in Menomonie (the most-requested option, perfect for keeping baby calm and on schedule) or at a comfortable private studio in the Minneapolis area, always prioritizing your baby's safety, warmth, and comfort. I'm trained in safe newborn posing, every shot has a spotter, and the entire session is baby-led — we feed when baby is hungry, change when baby needs changing, and never rush. Families in Menomonie also book the session for older siblings, grandparents, and parent portraits so you walk away with the full story of your baby's first weeks. Most clients book during the second trimester to secure a date; I hold a flexible 2-week window around your due date.

Menomonie Baby & Newborn Photography FAQ
How much does a newborn photographer in Menomonie cost?
Newborn sessions in Menomonie start at $450 for an in-home or studio session, including all edited high-resolution images delivered in a private online gallery, sibling and parent portraits, and prop/wardrobe use. First-year milestone packages bundle three sessions (newborn, sitter, cake smash) at a savings.
When should I book a newborn session in Menomonie?
Book during your second trimester to secure your due-date window. Newborn sessions are best photographed within the first 2 weeks after birth (ideally days 7–14) when babies are sleepiest and most curly. I hold a flexible window around your due date and confirm the exact date once baby arrives.
Do you photograph newborns in our home in Menomonie?
Yes — in-home newborn sessions in Menomonie are my most-requested option. They're calmer for baby, easier for recovering moms, and the photos feel personal because they're shot in your real space. I bring lighting, wraps, and props with me.
Are newborn sessions safe?
Baby safety is my absolute top priority. I'm trained in safe newborn posing techniques, keep the studio warm (around 80°F), always have a spotter for any prop or pose, sanitize all props between sessions, and never use composites that put a baby at risk. Your baby's comfort guides the entire session.
What if my baby cries the whole session?
Completely normal and not a problem. Sessions are planned at 2–3 hours specifically to allow for feeding breaks, diaper changes, and calming time. I shoot at baby's pace — every newborn session I've done has finished with a full beautiful gallery.
Can older siblings be in the photos?
Yes, please — sibling portraits are included at no extra cost. I'll plan the sibling shots at the very beginning of the session while older kids still have patience and excitement.
How quickly will we get our Menomonie newborn photos back?
Full edited gallery in 2–3 weeks. A few sneak peek images go out within the first week so you can share announcements right away.
