I’m always doing something new here in the studio, and I like to make sure that you can keep up with what’s going on behind the scenes.

A Christmas Milk Bath

Dec 21, 2020 | family sessions

Archer was such a fun little dude to hang out with! He was all about putting everything in his mouth, ya know, like a normal baby. I couldn’t get enough of his little facial expressions. Definitely the best part of sitter sessions is getting all the faces from a...

Logan’s Hot Cocoa Bath

Nov 24, 2020 | family sessions

Let me start by saying I don’t recommend this kind of photoshoot at home. Definitely pay someone to do the heavy lifting (literally) and the clean up. The damage on this set was three absolutely soaked through towels stained brown, a wet angry baby, and little wet...

Boho Sitter Session

Nov 22, 2020 | family sessions

My husband always says “every age is the best age,” and sitter sessions always remind me how true that is. I love my three year old but there’s something about a baby who can’t quite talk but wants to tell you everything that’s so cute! Hannah here had personality to...

Custom Newborn Prop Making

Nov 11, 2020 | family sessions, the studio

Probably my favorite part and my husband’s least favorite part of this job is the prop making. Especially since the more I make at cost, the more I get to spend on fuzzy blankets and faux florals! The number of times I have come home from somewhere with a pile of...

Fall Maternity Session at Long Lake Park

Nov 7, 2020 | maternity

I don’t love this time of year. Everything is kind of the same shade of brown, and nothing really stands out. Except Lexi. This mama-to-be stood out like a wildflower in a field of weeds and did such a great job picking her session dresses from my client closet! She...

How to Pick Outfits for an Outdoor Family Session

Aug 20, 2020 | family sessions

Do family pictures, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. BUT WHAT DO I WEAR? That question is hands down the most asked when families book their session. But don’t worry, I got you. I spend hours a day dreaming about family wardrobes. For my birthday every year, I make...

My Favorite Twin Cities Photo Locations by Season

Mar 3, 2020 | locations

Finding outdoor locations can be challenging, especially some that seem to be ubiquitous on Instagram. I’ve spent so many hours driving around the cities trying to find the locations with the best light, the most interest, the least amount of people, and the easiest...

My Favorite Baby Products

Mar 2, 2020 | newborn

When my son was born my mom kept saying “Babies don’t need a lot of stuff. They just want to eat and be held.” LIES. Babies need so many things. I didn’t put my son down during the day for the first 5 weeks of his little life and when he started getting fussy (an...

"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!"

"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."
