A Studio Experience Rooted in Peace and Intention
The newborn season is tender, fleeting, and unlike any other. From the moment you step into the studio, every detail is designed to support calm — the softness of the light, the warmth of the space, and the unhurried rhythm of the morning.
Newborn sessions are baby-led and thoughtfully paced, allowing space for feeding, soothing, and rest. With gentle guidance and a safety-first approach, I create portraits that feel timeless, honest, and deeply personal.
This is newborn photography reimagined — refined, peaceful, and grounded in care.
The Experience
Your newborn session is designed to feel supportive and effortless from beginning to end.
I handle every detail — posing, styling, lighting, and flow — so you can stay fully present with your baby. Sessions move slowly and intentionally, honoring your newborn’s comfort and cues at every step.
Each session includes:
Baby-led posing with comfort and safety as the priority
Gentle guidance for parents and siblings when included
Curated wraps and simple wardrobe options for baby
A curated collection of neutral-toned dresses for moms
Complimentary access to Style & Select for family styling
Heirloom-quality editing with soft, true-to-life tones
A curated online gallery to view and select images

All newborn sessions take place at The Lakes Collective in Lino Lakes, Minnesota.

Sigrid is amazing! I cannot say enough good things about her. She will capture you and your family in such a light that you never thought possible. I have never had a photographer that is able to get all of my kiddos cooperating and actually smiling so well at the same time. When you look through your gallery you are going to have the hardest time choosing what photos to print out because every single one is gorgeous! Sigrid goes above and beyond!

We had an absolute blast taking our newborn photos with Sigrid! Studio SDP was so beautiful for the look we were going for with our family photos. Sigrid made sure our entire family was at ease during the session (she was AMAZING at keeping our little guy sleeping and comfortable)! The photos she captured will be treasured by our family for many years to come. We are so excited to use her again in the future! She is such a gem of a person and incredibly wonderful to work with.
"She was so easy to work with and communication leading up to our photo shoot was quick and informative."

We laughed a lot and her photos are gorgeous! I’m so thankful to have found her, she is a gem!! We look forward to using her for any photo needs in the future! Thanks for being you, Sigrid!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

We did a mini holiday session with Sigrid and she was absolutely amazing. In the past, my kids were not comfortable during photoshoots, but this time was different all thanks to Sigrid! She was absolutely amazing at making the kids feel comfortable and ensuring they had fun, while capturing some beautiful photos. The photos were all stunning, and we will for sure continue to book sessions with her. I highly recommend booking your next session with Sigrid!
