Charlie & Violet Photography’s newborn studio has come a long way since the beginning of January! The new client waiting room is almost done and I wanted to share some beautiful photos with you! All that’s left is to put the finishing touches on it and it’ll be ready for many more babies and families. Don’t let the word “newborn” fool you, however. I see more than just squishy newborn. I also focus on maternity photos, baby photos, family photos, couple photos and more! I’m even dabbling in pet photography and some product shots as well. But for now, if you’re expecting, you’ll definitely want to get on my schedule soon. I’m booking out for 2020 already, so get in touch soon to get your session on the calendar :)
New Photo Studio - Lakeville, Minnesota Newborn Photography
Well, it’s happening! I am opening up my new photography studio in Lakeville, MN. Why you ask? After being in the cities for so long, and having our tribe grow by one more, we decided a larger house was in the plan. So - we moved to the amazing city of Lakeville, MN and now call this our home. And, instead of commuting 30+ minutes every day to work, I relocated my newborn photo studio here! I am currently building out my new space at 20178 Heritage Drive. It’s my first custom built newborn studio and I am super excited that it’s almost done! I finally was able to plan out where every wall went and what the floors, paint and plan would entail. Now, all I need are my Lakeville and surrounding area families to visit me!
If you’re looking for a newborn photographer, maternity photographer or family photographer in Lakeville or surrounding areas, and you have not visited before, you will receive a $100 discount! To receive it, just mention this blog post!
In the meantime, I am sharing some of my progress photos and inspiration that has lead me to choose what this newborn photo studio will look like. To find out what it eventually turns out to be, come in and visit me! xo
Newborn Photos - Should I Do Them?
The short answer: YES!
The long answer: I know how difficult it can be to afford a baby and then dish out another chunk of money for newborn photos. But take it from me... you will regret it if you don't. Especially if this is your first, you probably don't understand all of the hype around it or grasp how quickly these little babies grow. Honestly, the rate at which they change will blow your mind.
When Charlie was a baby, I did newborn photos, but couldn't afford to buy any prints after and none of the packages came with digitals. So... I only have one wallet image of him which I could afford. This is the reason I offer payment plans and small deposits to book sessions so everyone has access to newborn photography of their little baby.
If you're on the fence, think of it this way. Newborn photography is a way to lock in and seal these moments in time. Everything from their tiny fingerprints to their sweet toes. I will capture them all for you. You will not regret the decision to capture these moments. I guarantee it. Schedule yours today!
February 22, 2017 - Newborn Photos in Matte!
Everyone who knows me - know one thing... I love to print my art! And since my lab is now offering deep matte prints, I knew I had to test them out. OMG. They are creamy, silky smooth and the finish is completely what it promises... deep matte.
I tested the beautiful Candela with these and they do not disappoint. The riches of color and contrast, but with absolutely no shine at all. If you love prints like I do, consider these beauties as an alternative to lustre or gloss - even a regular matte. They are gorgeous.
I do prefer them more for my white set up than my wood setup, but either way they are worth it.
