Welcoming a new baby into your life is pure magic—and at Julie Ann Photography in Minneapolis, I’m dedicated to crafting portraits that capture every tender detail and emotion. Here’s how my studio experience goes beyond a typical photoshoot to create something truly special for you and your little one.

1. A Curated Client Closet Just for Babies (6–24 months)

Preparing outfits for a baby session can feel overwhelming—so I’ve removed the guesswork. My studio offers a growing collection of professionally curated outfits for baby boys and girls, sizes 6 to 24 months.

• For boys: cream shorts with suspenders, collared shirts, bowties, driver’s caps—vintage-inspired and picture ready.
• For girls: sweet lace dresses and pink tulle pieces with floral headbands, plus a red lace romper in size 2T/3T.
• My client closet is in the beginning stages and will slowly build up as client needs grow.
• Clean, coordinated, and styled to complement my photography aesthetic.
• Carefully collected wraps in a variety of colors for newborns.

If you’re stressed about outfits before a session, my client closet helps you show up relaxed and camera-ready—without the shopping. Does this mean you can’t bring outfits? No, you absolutely can (and I still highly encourage you do bring at least one if you plan on using client closet items) if you would like your baby to be wearing a certain color or special outfit.

2. A Studio Experience Designed for Families

From the moment you step into my studio, my goal is to make the session easy, relaxed, and joyful:

• I bring all the gear—multiple cameras, lenses, reflectors, and creative props—so you don’t have to worry about a thing
• My calming presence and patience help even energetic little ones settle in: parents often mention how comfortable and fun the experience feels
• I take time to engage siblings and help them feel important—whether that means one-on-one time or playful set-ups sibling plus baby

3. Style That Keeps the Baby in Focus

• My favorite backdrops are neutral tones—creams, off-whites, soft textures—that allow baby to shine in every photograph
• For pops of color, I’ll layer rich hues or florals in a way that looks cohesive, not chaotic
• This ensures your images remain timeless, coordinate effortlessly at home, and look beautiful for generations.

4. Thoughtful, Stress-Free Planning

Booking a baby session with me means more than just a date on the calendar:

• You’ll receive detailed session planning guidance—from how to prepare outfits to knowing when your baby’s happiest and most camera-ready.
• I handle everything from lighting to wardrobe prep and image curation so you can relax and be fully present.

5. A Personalized & Safe Approach

• I’m trained to handle babies gently and prioritize safety in every pose and interaction. That’s why I chose to use the baby-led posing approach.
• My approach is gentle and natural—perfect for imperfect days with infants.

6. Experience That Shows

Being based in Minneapolis, I serve families across the metro area and beyond. Clients return again and again because they trust me—and I tailor every session to each family’s vibe

Families often share how calm and easy the process feels:

“Julie is so wonderful. She has a calming presence and is so patient… the pictures are gorgeous!”
“Julie’s ability to connect with my children … she is able to capture that energy and use it in her photographs.”

7. Beautiful, Lifelong Keepsakes

My goal isn’t just to take photos—it’s to create stunning heirlooms:

• You’ll be guided through selecting favorite images and presentation formats—prints, albums, wall art—that suit your home and style
• With professional editing, artistic vision, and meticulous attention to light and detail, your memories will feel timeless—far beyond what most cellphone photos can capture
