minneapolis children's photographer | chrissie marie photography | newborn, baby, children's photographer bio picture

welcome to chrissie marie photography | the BLOG!

welcome to my blog! I am a Minneapolis contemporary children's lifestyle photographer & love what I do! being a mommy is my full-time job so although I LOVE taking pictures I do have a limited availability to book photo shoots.

why do I LOVE what I do? photography is something I’m truly passionate about. I get to be creative, I adore capturing children, their imaginations & personalities! what could be better than capturing a moment and creating art that will be cherished for years to come?

things I LOVE in a picture | natural expressions, laughter, smiles, silly giggles & even grumpy frowns, personality, emotion, bare feet, relationships & simplicity.

my other LOVES | my husband, who is my best friend & biggest supporter, my two beautiful & amazing children, who teach me to be a better person every day. laughing, photography, painting, rain in the summertime, the feel of sand on my feet & warm sun on my face, a good challenge, anything girly, tu-tu's, the color pink! baby boutiques, baby feet, dark chocolate and a good glass of red wine!

 

I can't wait to meet you & capture your life!

best,

things I love in a picture of a child: laughter, emotion, simplicity, innocence, pure joy …


Matilda Jane Children’s Clothing Open House | Minneapolis Children’s Photographer

“It makes your day, all day. That is what I want Matilda Jane Clothing to do, make the girl smile from ear to ear. I want her to love what she is wearing and be proud of how she looks. I want Matilda Jane to showcase the sweetness of the child. I try to keep the silhouettes simple for that reason, it’s not about the fancy embroidery, it is about the darling girl wearing it. I want your little girl not to fight with you on what to wear, I want her to be comfortable and I want her to be happy! And that is it.” Matilda Jane
