Minneapolis MN Newborn Photographer | How to Look Great in Photos

Jan 18, 2022 | family sessions, maternity, Preparation

How to Feel Great This is not a How to Look Thinner in Pictures post. This is more a How to Be Your Best Self during your session post. That isn’t to say that I spend a considerable amount of time posing you so that you look your best, but that’s on me. You should...

Minneapolis MN Newborn Photographer | Finding Your Family Session Location

Jan 16, 2022 | family sessions, locations

Perfect Family Locations Finding your perfect location has less to do with the location and more to do with your family and how you spend your time. I always have families asking where I think we should do their family session—which is great, I have a lot of gorgeous...

Minneapolis MN Newborn Photographer | COVID Protocols

Jan 5, 2022 | newborn, Preparation, the studio

COVID is Scary I'm not gonna lie guys, I'm starting to get the COVID fatigue. I'm tired of being scared and I'm tired of feeling like life is never going to go back to normal. I am not a fan of the rising pediatric hospitalizations being seen with this new Omicron...

Minneapolis MN Newborn Photographer | Snug as a Bug

Dec 13, 2021 | newborn, the studio

Toasty and Cozy The easiest way to get your newborn baby to sleep through their photography session is to wrap them up as tight as possible so they’re nice and comfy… and then taking their picture while they’re wrapped up because it’s adorable. Swaddled shots are...

Minneapolis MN Family Photographer | Holiday Themed Newborn Sessions

Dec 11, 2021 | family sessions, newborn, the studio

Evoking Memories One of the things I love most about newborn photography is the ability of a single image to evoke deep memories of the first few weeks with your little one. Of course the point of professional photography is to create art from memories, and with...

Minneapolis MN Newborn Photographer | Lifestyle vs. Posed Newborn

Dec 9, 2021 | family sessions, locations

Posed vs. Lifestyle There’s a big difference between posed and lifestyle, not just in the resulting images, but also in the whole mood of the session. Posed newborn photography is what I specialize in; it takes place at my studio, using my lighting, my props, and my...

Minneapolis MN Family Photographer | The Best Photo Products for Christmas

Dec 8, 2021 | print products, the studio

Photos Make the Best Gifts Memories make the best presents. The most well received gifts I ever given have always been reminiscent of some memory I share with the gift opener. Now that I have a family, no one is ever mad to get a photograph of us or just my kid. I...

Minneapolis MN Family Photographer | Laughter is the Best Medicine

Dec 7, 2021 | family sessions, locations

A Laugh a Day My mom always says she likes to watch movies with me because the humor pathway in my brain lights up more than hers, so sometimes she doesn’t get that something is funny until I start laughing. Like her brain needs to catch up with mine. Comedians thank...

Minneapolis MN Newborn Photographer | Beyond Newborn: Baby’s First Year

Dec 5, 2021 | milestone/cake smash, newborn

They Won’t Stop Growing Listen, here’s the thing about babies: they refuse to stop growing. Every once in a while I ask my son to stop and he just won’t. It’s wildly inconsiderate. Where did my baby go? That’s why I love first year packages. My Grow With Me package...

Minneapolis MN Family Photographer | Making the Most of Golden Hour

Dec 3, 2021 | family sessions, locations

Magic Hour When we’re talking about when to schedule your family session, I’m probably going to tell you to plan for an evening session. That is for two reasons; one, the best light ever, in the history of the world, happens about an hour before sunset; and two:...

"We had an excellent experience with Tasha. She was quick to respond to our questions and easy to schedule. Her prop selection was great and she even made a little stuffie especially for our shoot. The pictures came out even better than expected. We shot during Covid-19 and felt very safe with all the precautions taken. Will definitely be using her again for baby #2."

Joan

"Our family has been fortunate to know Tasha for years. Tasha has taken our yearly family photos, maternity photos and most recently newborn photos. Tasha goes above and beyond to make your vision come to life! Or you can let her creativity go wild and you will not be disappointed with the final result. Our most recent pictures were of our precious rainbow baby. Tasha understood the significance of his arrival and captured that in every picture. Tasha is great with my 11 year old son, she always manages to get just the right picture that shows his personality in all its glory! While managing my husband who begrudgingly agrees to family pictures once a year! Tasha’s work is proudly displayed throughout our house, I would highly recommend her to capture the moments you don’t want to forget!"

Kathleen

"Dreadon Studios (Tasha) took my maternity and newborn/family photos and they came out so amazing! Well above expectations. She is extremely professional and easy to work with. I was so impressed with how well she knows how to pose people to make sure they look their best in the photo. I plan on using Dreadon Studios for my son's first birthday pictures as well. I am so happy that I have such beautiful photos that captured the beautiful memories to look back on for years to come."

Raine

"Tasha put in the extra time, energy and creativity for our newborn photo session compared to other photographers we have used in the past. We adore our pictures and will treasure them for years to come. I recommend ordering photos through her to get the best quality, the photos look like artwork on our wall. Our family photos will continue to be taken by Tasha, I highly recommend!"

Anya

"Our family had such a great experience working with Dreadon studios. The owner, Tasha was super easy to work with and was able to wrangle our wild kids into some great lifestyle photos both indoor and outside! The prints we ordered look beautiful in our home and the quality is fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lifestyle photographer."

Leann
