Documentary Family & Newborn Photography in Minneapolis.
This is your family’s story — unscripted, unposed, and unforgettable.
In-home newborn sessions capture what really matters; the way you hold them, their tiny fingers wrapped around yours and the love that fills the room.
Everyday life is the magic. Family stories are written in pancake breafasts, backyard adventures, and living room dance parties. Let’s bottle that up in photographs you’ll treasure long after the moments have passed.
From the tiny details of your newborn’s first days to the everyday chaos and joy of family life, my sessions are designed to capture the real moments that make your story worth remembering.
Whether it’s the giggles during breakfast, the mess of playtime, or the quiet of bedtime snuggles, these fleeting chapters deserve more than staged photos — they deserve to be preserved authentically.
Why Documentary Photography?
Because life isn’t perfect, and that’s what makes it beautiful.

Happy Customers
“I can’t recommend Julie Ann Photography enough! I’ve worked with her several times now for branding, headshots, and product photography, and she knocks it out of the park every single time. I’m very particular about how I want things to look, and she always listens, understands my vision, and somehow makes it even better than I imagined. Julie is incredibly talented, professional, and easy to work with — she makes the whole process feel effortless. If you want high-quality photos that truly reflect your brand and personality, she’s the one to call!”
— Katie
“Julie is so wonderful. She has a calming presence and is so patient. She always is trying new things for photos and makes things less stressful. The pictures are gorgeous!”
— Madison
“I can’t thank Julie enough for working with us to fit our accommodations and to get beautiful photos without any pressure! Julie is the best!!”
— Janie
Julie’s ability to connect with my children and to make them laugh while getting “the shot” is impeccable and that is one of the many reasons that I always choose her. She understands how my kids, like many others, have lots of energy and she is able to capture that energy and use it in her photographs.
Julie doesn’t just connect with you, she is well versed in her industry and understands what it takes to get the best image. She always has more than one camera, lens, light reflector, and even ideas on how to position the family for it to all flow together. She has captured both of my children’s newborn photos and our family photos for 10 years and she has always exceeded my expectations.
