They’re only this little for such a short time. Those first weeks are beautiful, chaotic, and gone in a blink. You bring the baby. We’ll bring the wardrobe, the wraps, the props, and a studio full of sets, so you can slow down and soak in the snuggles while we freeze this tiny season in time.
Simple and classic to proppy and themed, all styled for you.

Plus wardrobe for big siblings, Mom, and Dad too.

the good stuff
Why parents love it
Isn’t it crazy that someone so tiny can take up so much space in your heart? The sleepy faces. The tiny fingers. The baby rolls. The way they fit perfectly in your arms. Blink, and those sleepy stretches turn into curious eyes and first steps.
That’s why your newborn session shouldn’t be one more thing to organize while you’re surviving on three hours of sleep. We plan, style, pose, and photograph. You get to slow down long enough to actually enjoy it.
“You have the baby. I’ll take care of the rest.”
No Pinterest board required
You don’t need to buy twelve outfits, collect baskets, or know which colors photograph best. That’s our job. Tell us a little about your baby: a special blanket, a tiny pair of moccasins, a hobby Dad loves, something that reminds you of home. Or tell us nothing at all. Our studio is packed with an almost ridiculous collection of sets, wraps, and tiny props, and we’ll dream it up together.
Don’t panic. It’s never too late. We welcome babies at every stage, and our milestone sessions pick up right where newborn leaves off.
How it works
Pick your experience and choose a date 1 to 2 weeks after your due date. Payment plans are available.
Babies don’t follow due dates. When yours arrives, let us know and we’ll move your session to the soonest opening.
Your sets are styled and waiting. We handle the wraps, wardrobe, posing, and every feeding break.
No weeks of waiting. View your images right after your session and choose your favorites.
Packages & pricing
Every session is styled from start to finish. The difference is how much of the story you’d like to tell. Most families choose the Classic, so baby, big siblings, and the people who love them all make it into the gallery.

Every chapter, one studio
Some of our families have been with us for nearly 19 years. We met their babies as newborns, celebrated their first birthdays, and now we’re taking their senior photos. Your newborn session is where that story starts.

We have been beyond blessed to have Arica capturing our family's moments since practically birth with all my 6 kids... each session somehow feels more meaningful than the last. These photos are more than pictures. They are memories we will cherish forever.

What a wonderful experience! It was our first time doing professional photos and she made us feel so comfortable! She was also amazing with our little one! Highly recommend her.
Good to know
Book during pregnancy and choose a date 1 to 2 weeks after your due date. Babies rarely follow their due dates, so when yours arrives, text us and we'll move your session to the soonest opening we have.
We recommend babies be under 2 weeks old, when they're extra sleepy and curl up into those classic newborn poses. Missed that window? It's never too late. We welcome babies at every stage, and our milestone sessions are perfect for older babies.
Nope. Our studio closet has wardrobe for baby, big siblings, Mom, and Dad, plus 100+ wraps, layers, and accessories. If you have something special, like a family blanket, a handmade quilt, or tiny moccasins, bring it and we'll build a set around it.
Yes! The Classic and Signature sessions include room for family, sibling, and even grandparent photos. The Mini session is baby only, swaddled on one set.
The Mini runs about 1 hour, the Classic about 2.5 hours, and the Signature up to 3 hours, including your same-day viewing. Newborns are wonderfully unpredictable, so we build in time for feeding, soothing, and snuggling. Please plan a little extra time around your appointment.
Most families choose the Classic. It gives you up to 3 sets, room for siblings and parents, and 35 images. If you want every detail captured with no clock watching, the Signature is the one. Not sure? Send us a message and we'll help you decide.
The same day. Right after your session, you'll view your images and choose your favorites. Extra digital images and heirloom printed artwork are available too.
Yes. Send us a message and we can set one up. Final payment is due 1 week before your session unless a payment plan is in place.
Yes, on request. We offer Fresh 48 sessions at your hospital, plus weekend and on-location options. Send us a message to talk through what you have in mind.
Our warehouse studio is at 8147 US-2 in Bemidji, MN, just west of the Bemidji airport. Families visit us from Bemidji, Cass Lake, Blackduck, Park Rapids, and all around the lakes area.
They’re only this little once
Newborn dates are limited each month, so we recommend booking during pregnancy. Reserve your session today and we will take care of everything else.
