Meet Delilah! She was an absolute sweetheart for her newborn photo session. And her big brother? What a handsome little dude! My new White Bear Lake studio saw so many beautiful clients this past month. I'm so grateful and blessed as I head into my 19th year of business. Here's to a joy-filled, family-focused New Year 2026!

The snow has finally melted and thanks to this post, so has your heart ❤🥰 Meet Elodie. The cutest little smush-ball ever. This was a mini newborn session so I was able to focus solely on Elodie and soak in all of her baby adorableness. I'm looking to add some more of these mini newborn sessions to my schedule this Spring, so if you or someone you know is expecting a new baby, please send them to Blooming Portraits. I'll give them $100 off my Mini Newborn Session when they mention this blog post and pay in full ☺️ 

Blooming Portraits Newborn Photography studio is now located in downtown White Bear Lake Minnesota. I specialize in newborn and baby milestone photography including sitter, stander, one year & cake smash sessions. I supply all of the props, wraps, and baby clothing to make your baby's portraits stand out beautifully. 

Hope to work with your growing family soon!
