Meet Dee

Newborn & Family Photographer in St. Paul, MN



Hi I’m Dee, the artist behind Ana.Belle Photography.

My love for photography began long before this business did. I didn’t grow up with baby photos of myself. There’s no quiet record of who I was in those first days. That absence stayed with me. It shaped me into someone who documents everything, especially my own children.

Isabelle has always been by my side. In many ways, she grew alongside this dream. Ana.Belle Photography was born in the middle of motherhood, built during nap times, late nights, and the desire to preserve what I never had.

But newborn photography truly sparked when I brought my youngest, Diana, in for her own session. Watching her tiny features captured shifted something in me. I saw how quickly those details change, how fragile and fleeting those first days are. I did not realize then that those small, ordinary moments would slowly lead me to the passion that now defines my work.

What started as documenting my own children has grown into something much bigger. Today, I photograph newborns and families with the same intention I began with. To preserve the beginning, honestly and beautifully, before it quietly becomes memory.

If you’re expecting, I would be honored to photograph your baby too.
