If you’re a new or expecting parent in Saint Paul, MN, you might be wondering:
“Should I drive across the metro for newborn photos?”
The short answer? Yes—if the experience, safety, and quality matter to you, it’s absolutely worth it.
Many Saint Paul families choose to travel to our Maple Grove studio for newborn photography, and here’s why they say the extra drive was one of the best decisions they made.
1. A Studio Built for Babies
Our studio was created with new families in mind. It’s warm, quiet, and stocked with everything needed for a perfect newborn session—from cozy wraps and handmade props to soft lighting and comfortable seating for parents.
While Saint Paul has many photographers, Duehr Photography offers a full-service experience that takes all the pressure off of you. You don’t have to bring anything or do anything—just show up with your baby, and we’ll take care of the rest.
2. Safety & Experience You Can Trust
Your baby’s safety is the top priority. Rushena, the photographer behind Duehr Photography, has years of experience working with newborns and knows how to safely pose and soothe even the fussiest little ones.
Parents from Saint Paul say they felt completely at ease watching their baby cared for with such calm, confidence, and patience. That peace of mind? Totally worth a 30–40 minute drive.
3. Images That Go Beyond the Ordinary
Our sessions aren’t rushed or cookie-cutter. Every setup is customized with your preferences in mind—soft colors, unique props, and thoughtful details that turn your baby’s first portraits into true keepsakes.
Many families from the Twin Cities say they were willing to go the extra distance because they wanted more than just a photo—they wanted artwork they’d treasure forever.
4. A Break From the Busy
Newborn life can be overwhelming. A drive from Saint Paul to Maple Grove can feel like a quiet escape—especially when you walk into a peaceful, warm studio and get to sit back while someone else handles everything.
We’ve had many moms tell us the session was the first time they felt calm since baby arrived. And that feeling? Priceless.
5. A Reputation You Can Rely On
Duehr Photography has become a favorite among Saint Paul families for a reason—because we pour heart, experience, and intention into every single session. The studio, the service, and the final gallery all reflect the love we have for what we do—and for the families we serve.
