Natural, authentic baby & newborn photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Taylors Falls Baby & Newborn Photographer
Taylors Falls is roughly 1 hours north-west of the metro, out in St. Croix Valley, and that shapes how a baby & newborn day runs here. Taylors Falls stacks a New England style hilltop village above a basalt river gorge, so one afternoon can move from Greek Revival porches to glacial potholes, and autumn colour on the bluffs is the draw. When I plan portraits in Taylors Falls the shortlist usually starts with Interstate State Park, the Folsom House and the Angel Hill Historic District — 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 St. Croix Falls, WI, Shafer, Franconia on identical terms, so choosing Taylors Falls never narrows where the day can travel.

Taylors Falls Baby & Newborn Photography FAQ
How much does a newborn photographer in Taylors Falls cost?
Newborn sessions in Taylors Falls 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 Taylors Falls?
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 Taylors Falls?
Yes — in-home newborn sessions in Taylors Falls 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 Taylors Falls 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.
