These are the small details that we as mamas never want to forget. Our hearts hold onto these moments forever, but our minds slowly start to forget what those little details LOOKED like. 
This is what I want to capture for you and your family. The peach fuzz and flaky skin. The sweet little smiles when baby is in deep slumber. Their tiny fingers and toes. Your sweet little babe in all their newborn glory.
Let's never forget this fleeting stage.

The days can be long, but you wouldn't trade this stage for anything. the warm snuggles, the cute baby snores, their little fingers wrapping around yours... 

You only have a newborn for 6 weeks...

Our newborn session with Morgan was amazing! She was so patient with our baby, and made the session so much fun. Morgan’s friendly and down to earth personality made us feel so comfortable. Her studio is set up wonderfully for a mom with a new baby and her work is second to none. We can’t wait to come back again for more sessions in the future!

As a momma who also invests in my family's memories, trust me, I get it! That's why I want you to know up-front about what to expect when you hire me. No fluff, no bullshit.

Have your session

To book your session, you'll sign a digital contract and pay a $200 deposit to hold your date. If you'd like to set up a payment plan at this point, we absolutely can do that! 

Sessions are scheduled during weekdays and limited weekends. Outdoor sessions start around 2 hours before sunset and indoor sessions are held between 9am-3pm for the best lighting.

I will send you a questionnaire to learn more about your crew and start generating ideas for our session. We will set up a phone call or chat through text to start planning our time together!

Show time, baby! 
We are going to have so much fun laughing, exploring, dancing and playing--those couple hours are going to zoom by! While yes, we are going to get a few photos of everyone cheesin' at the camera, the majority of our time will be focusing on your family's connection. Our in home session will be more laid back and I'll capture your everyday life of being a family. With studio sessions, we will get baby all wrapped up in some cute swaddles!

The big reveal

After about 3-5 weeks (depending upon the season,) you will receive a gallery of 60+ photos for you to swoon over.

Download your images + shop the store!

Upon your gallery delivery, you will have instant access to download your photos and shop the gallery store. This isn't only the fun part, but the most important one, too! Get your art up on the walls or chillin' on the coffee table for everyone to enjoy! 

How it works

Morgan B.

Morgan has done our engagement, wedding and now our newborn photos so she has been there for quite literally all the biggest moments of our lives! She always comes with a great attitude and makes everything fun and is very go with the flow. For our newborn shoot, she had theee cutest outfits for little man to choose from and an amazing selection of dresses for me as well. She had the best props for newborn shoots as well. I love her shooting style where she gives more prompts vs posing, and when we do posing pictures she explains exactly how to do it. I know for a fact that we are going to continue to have her do all the important moments of our lives in the years to come!!

I'm happy to go anywhere (schedule depending!) Your session includes 45 miles from Bottineau, ND. Anything further, a travel fee will be added. Studio sessions take place at 116 5th St. W Bottineau, ND.

Eeekk! I know you're pumped to see them! My turnaround time is anywhere from 3-5 weeks (depending on the season.) Once you get that happy mail saying your gallery is ready, you can then download all of your images! 

Between feedings, settling, wrapping, diaper changes...etc. newborn sessions can last anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hours. Babies are on their own time lol! 

I recommend doing our session when baby is under 3 weeks old (before they discover how amazing stretching feels HA!) to get them in those cute wraps! However, if there's any sort of complications or you're not feeling well yet, we will definitely work around that. Yours and baby's health is of the utmost importance! 

No worries, mama. I will get you into my schedule regardless! Yours and baby's well-being come first, we will figure out the rest later!
