Build Your Own Newborn Photo Package!

My goal for my clients is to make everything super easy when choosing what newborn package might be right for you. And recently I thought - all that's missing is an option for them to truly build their own newborn photo package! So, I built the "Build Your Own" collections!

The idea is that you can choose certain poses based on what your love the most, and add those to your cart one by one. This way, you have control on what your images will look like and know exactly what you're getting. 

You can build a small package for a minimum of $350 or add on more options for a much larger gallery. It's up to you. All that is required is an order of $350 minimum to book.

Here is a sample of what one of those custom built sessions looks like! Enjoy and start building your own today!

January 8, 2017 - A Newborn Studio

Well, this has been a long time coming. I've searched all over the Twin Cities for my new home and have finally found it. This photography studio will be transformed in a few short weeks ready to welcome families throughout the Minneapolis area. 

My new gem of a newborn studio will be located in the golden area of Highland Park on Ford Parkway. I'm giddy with excitement and have stayed up countless evenings thinking of what I can do with the space. There's so much room!

I'll be offering more setups now for families and my maternity clients. I can hardly wait to show you what I have in store!

Until then, keep watching the site and facebook for updates!

January 3, 2017 - Print Your Art!

Ahhhhh, you have no idea how happy this image makes me. Why, you ask? Because my client purchased THE MOST BEAUTIFUL newborn photo album as a keepsake for her family and that one day, she'll hand down to her daughter, Adeline. I wish you could hold this album in your hands right now. It's the most beautiful thing that I've ever offered in my studio. The album comes in a keepsake box with a magnetic closure and inside, there's a custom album holding some of Adeline's newborn photos. The pages are thick and her name is stunning - varnished on the cover. Completely amazing in every way. 

I wish every client saw the value in this. We will spend $200 on designer jeans or drop $300 on a pair of boots, but not on a family heirloom :(  (Insert sigh here).

I hope to share many more beautiful printed pieces my clients acquire for their families, in hopes of inspiring you to do the same thing for yours. xo, Nicole

January 2, 2017 - Newborn Baby Photo of the Day!

Baby Cruz! His momma is coming in this weekend to see his entire gallery reveal and I can't wait! There's something about this image that is truly inspiring me for 2017. It's the moody warmth of it. I'm admiring the selective focus and letting all of the other details fall off into a blur. I need to do more of that. I need to let the natural beauty of the images I create shine through. Sometimes it's hard, because I love the small details that make an image perfect and symmetrical. But I need to challenge myself and find the beauty in the imperfect and the moment. So with that, here's to creating more newborn photography just like this. xo, Nicole

NEW! Newborn Mini Sessions

Charlie & Violet Photography will now be offering newborn mini sessions! This is a new addition for 2017 and perfect for those who only want a short session with very limited images. On a budget, but really want those fresh photos of your little one? The mini session is ideal. The session lasts 1 hour maximum and within that time, I go through a few poses with your newborn. Since it's a short session, and baby runs the show, I do the best poses for baby whether they are asleep or awake. If you prefer photos with you, your spouse, or your siblings, that's great! Each mini session will include:

• 1 hour session maximum
• 8 high resolution digital images (I will choose the best images)
• Rights to reprint
• Cost of session is $395
