Prior Lake Baby & Newborn Photographer
Natural, authentic baby & newborn photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Prior Lake Baby & Newborn Photographer
Prior Lake sits 30 minutes out from downtown Minneapolis in the south metro, and that shapes how a baby & newborn day runs here. Prior Lake has the metro's best lakefront ceremony sites outside Lake Minnetonka — Lakefront Park sunsets are unreal in July. When I plan portraits in Prior Lake the shortlist usually starts with The Wilds Golf Club, Legends Club and Mystic Lake Center — each one reads differently depending on the hour, so the timeline gets built around the light rather than the other way round. I work across Shakopee, Savage, Lakeville on identical terms, so choosing Prior Lake never narrows where the day can travel.

Prior Lake Baby & Newborn Photography FAQ
How much does a newborn photographer in Prior Lake cost?
Contact Emma for current newborn session pricing. Your quote will confirm the session setting, coverage time, included edited images, and any optional extras before you book.
When should I book a newborn session in Prior Lake?
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 Prior Lake?
Yes — in-home newborn sessions in Prior Lake 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 needs breaks during the session?
Session length is confirmed with your chosen package. Let Emma know about feeding, settling, and sibling breaks when planning your session.
Can older siblings be in the photos?
Ask Emma to confirm the edited-image count, family portraits, props, and download options in your quote. Inclusions depend on the session you choose.
How quickly will we get our Prior Lake newborn photos back?
Your newborn gallery delivery date and any sneak peeks will be confirmed in your written quote before booking. If you need images for an announcement, include that deadline in your inquiry.
