Preserving the feeling of home

Meet Astrid

I’m the heart behind North Nest Photography, a family and newborn photographer based in Andover, Minnesota.

After becoming a mother, I began to truly understand how quickly life changes—the tiny newborn details, the growing hands, and the everyday moments that later become our most treasured memories.
North Nest Photography was created to preserve not only how your family looks, but how it feels to love one another in this season of life.

Inspired by old family albums, warm homes, and soft natural light, I create timeless and emotional photographs that will still hold meaning for generations to come.

Some moments deserve to be remembered forever.
Not because they were perfect, but because they were real.

Every family has a story worth preserving.

A CALM AND MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCE

I believe photography should feel relaxed and genuine.
From planning your session to choosing wardrobe and preparing for the day, I guide you through every step so your experience feels effortless and personal.

During our time together, I focus on real connection rather than perfect poses—the cuddles, laughter, tiny details, and quiet moments that tell your family’s story.
Every gallery is carefully hand-edited in my signature warm, soft, and nostalgic style, creating images that feel timeless, personal, and full of love.
