Ann Marie is a newborn photographer that wants every mom to feel beautiful during her Newborn Photography session at her Minneapolis studio. Every mom is different and I want you to feel like your newborn photographs truly reflect who you are!  Some moms prefer to not wear make-up and keep things simple, while others like to celebrate their day by getting their hair or nails done.  Some moms like a little extra, too as they get ready for their photos and enjoy having their make-up done professionally.  I am building relationships with local make-up and hair artists that will offer these services to every mom that I serve.  

Motherhood photography is meant to show the realness of motherhood.  Whether the laughter she is able to experience watching her baby smile into her eyes, or the comfort she is able to give while she wipes away a baby’s tears, these are moments that she cherishes, but are also so fleeting and easily forgotten.

What if we, instead of hiding our bodies, or desiring them changed in a photograph or by a certain pose or, dare I say photoshop, we instead celebrated what they truly are? What if we decided that every wrinkle, every curve, every aspect of who we truly are is beautiful and worthy of being deemed art? What if we looked at a photograph of ourselves and we praised the love we saw for our children, the strength of our arms around our babies, the softness of our touch toward our tween, the joy in our eyes as we are surrounded by the chaotic energy of our toddlers, the way that our husbands look at us in awe, or the way our little boys hold onto us like they never want to let go?
