Documenting Every Chapter: From Bump to Baby’s First Birthday
Your story doesn’t start or end with a single session. As a fully mobile milestone photographer based in Maplewood, I am here to document every magical chapter of your baby's first year of life:
- Radiant Maternity Sessions — Celebrate the fierce beauty of your pregnancy with a relaxed outdoor or lifestyle maternity session around Saint Paul or the Twin Cities. It is the perfect, peaceful way to begin your baby's first heirloom album.
- Intimate Fresh 48 Hospital Photography — Capture those raw, magical, first 48 hours of life right in the hospital. I will come directly to your Twin Cities metro hospital room to document those quiet, sleepy, first-day details before you even pack up to head home. Relaxed In-Home Newborn Photography — The heart of the journey. A slow, gentle session centered completely around your baby’s comfort, capturing the quiet connections in your living room or nursery.
- One-Year Milestone & Cake Smash — Celebrate the big turning point! I bring the fun directly to you with a personalized, mobile first-birthday milestone session—including a classic cake smash to celebrate surviving and thriving through year one.
You’ve got a brand-new baby curled up on your chest, a phone full of screenshots, and absolutely no energy or idea where to start...
But you know you want to remember this.
Keep reading if you want newborn photos that feel calm and intentional, without having to micromanage the process.
Hi, I’m Tina, and I offer a mobile lifestyle newborn photography that feels quiet, thoughtful, and centered around you and your baby’s rhythm.
Whether your little one sleeps the whole session or needs to nurse every 20 minutes, nothing about this has to feel rushed or stiff.
I’ll gently guide you through the entire process so you can relax, exhale, and be present.

A Calm, Baby-Led Session
Whether your session takes place in the comfort of your Maplewood or St. Paul home, a hospital room, or a local lifestyle studio, nothing is rushed. If your baby needs to nurse every 20 minutes or cry it out, we pause. The session completely follows your baby’s natural rhythm.

I was worried I’d look exhausted and awkward, because I was but Tina made me feel calm, seen, and beautiful. When I saw the photos, I cried. They looked exactly how it felt to hold my daughter for the first time.”
