ARTISTIC CAPTURES
FOR THE COURAGEOUS
Raw & Beautiful Birth Photography in Minneapolis
Birth Photography is a photojournalistic style of photography that captures details and emotions to tell your one-of-a-kind birth story. Your savage strength, bold beauty. Sighs and first cries. First gaze and postpartum haze–You won't forget a single moment.
What if You Didn't Have to Worry?
What if you didn't have to worry about fumbling with a camera on the day of your baby's birth. You didn't have to wonder what photos your partner MIGHT get on his phone. You had each and every detail artistically and professionally photographed. You had absolutely no regrets when it came to giving birth to your sweet baby!

You'll Actually Want to Remember One of the Most Painful Times of Your Life
I have one picture of me and my baby only minutes after giving birth, none during labor. I'd ripped off my bra in the most primal way possible. They slapped a hat on him. And I'd barely managed to bring myself to a semi-upright position. It's a precious photo, but it's the only photo I have of me and my baby on the day of his birth.
Would I have hired a birth photographer at the time? Not a chance. Too shy and terrified to give birth. Do I regret it now? Yes. Honestly, I really do.
Unless God pulls a Virgin Mary sort of thing on me, I'm never going to have a baby again. And it pains me beyond belief to say that. It was the most painful thing I've ever endured physically, but I wish I could go back and do it again. I wish I could breathe in those moments more deeply. Honestly, labor & delivery is the blurriest thing I've ever experienced, and I wish I could reach back and remember those moments.
