Motherhood is incredibly special.
Becoming a mother was one of the greatest moments of my life. As you step into and experience this incredible season of your life, let me freeze and capture what it all looks like, right now.

Maternity sessions are perfect for those wanting to remember their growing bellies. Lifestyle newborn sessions are for clients wanting an intimate experience at home to remember what life was like in the weeks after baby's arrival. I also offer Fresh48 sessions, which are done within 48 hours of birth in the hospital room (hospital permission required). And for those clients wanting the experience from start to finish to tell a complete story, I offer Milestone Packages that bundle 3 sessions together for a discount, to be used within 18 months of each other and showcasing your growing family.
I show up, find the beautiful light, and act as a fly on the wall to provide you with a one-of-a-kind experience you’ll treasure forever.
Motherhood sessions start at $475. Please note that we recognize and support growing families of all kinds, including those with only Fathers.
We also offer family sessions (mini and full session rates) - inquire for more pricing information ◡̈
“My husband and I very much enjoyed working with Andrea during our maternity shoot! Even while trudging around the cow pastures in the blazing heat, she put her clients first and delivered amazing and beautiful pictures for us to cherish forever. She was friendly and personable throughout the whole process and even delivered our gallery earlier than expected. It is evident that she is proud of the work she does and more importantly, the people she gets to meet and work with on a daily basis. I would highly recommend her and her work!”
“Andrea's work automatically caught my eye and I knew I had to hire her! She was so flexible with my husband and I and willing to incorporate both of us and the animals into my daughter's newborn pictures! She barely knew the setting of our family farm but immediately got to work and recognized the best shots instantly. She made us so comfortable by making us feel like we had an old friend around for conversation as she was taking photos. We could not be happier with the photos of our sweet newborn on the land that we are so excited to create more memories with her on!”
Alex and Aleaha are expecting their first child! We were able to get in a spring maternity session at Schaar’s Bluff in Hastings MN near their home, just as the grass was regaining it’s life. In a few short weeks I’ll get to meet this bundle of love and both of them will get to spend their summer off from teaching loving on and spoiling their newborn. The BEST!
This is an example of how I want all of my lifestyle newborn clients to be - comfortable with their young kids being themselves, in their own space that they love so dearly, and spending time together as a family. A little bit of chaos, sugar, and laughter made for truly the most perfect lifestyle newborn session while being cooped up and away from the blistery cold of winter in Wisconsin.
I’ve had the honor of capturing moments for the Wenzel family since Blythe was in her momma’s womb; next was Blythe’s newborn session, then another a year later, and recently I got to meet her little brother Oakley. My first newborn of 2021, he’s seriously the most handsome baby ever! With fiery red hair like his momma, chubby cheeks, and beautiful skin tone, I just about died holding him and recalling all those newborn moments.
This dreamy session to document Vesna turning ONE turned out so beautiful, you wouldn’t even know it was mostly filled with tears. Such is the life of a one year old who doesn’t care if Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa or Aunty wants her to smile for photos.
With two amazing parents, it’s no wonder Calum was just the most precious and perfect little baby boy.
Kasey and Kyra were back in River Falls visiting family and thought that a maternity session on Kasey’s family’s farm would be a great idea. I have to say, I agree! A beautiful backdrop, a few (let’s be real…MANY) cow pies, and lots of moos made for a one-of-a-kind session in the summer heat.
Meg, a paramedic, was working at the Scoops for Troops 5K when she met TC, a firefighter, who ignited a fire that neither of them wanted to put out! Six years later they are happily married and recently welcomed their first child, a daughter named Maya.
“Top notch taste and talent in photography and truly an amazing person!! We met Andrea through a friend of mine and she kindly accepted to document our journey to parenthood and tell our story in three magical photoshoots: baby announcement, maternity, and newborn. Our journey to pregnancy was an emotional one, and Andrea captured the raw feelings and emotions we had so beautifully through her magical lens. We cherish and live those moments and feelings over and over every time we look at our pictures!”
