Because babies make me swoon...
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lindsay and I am the owner, designer and maker for Swoon Baby.
The inspiration for my shop came from my adoration of tiny humans paired with the desire to create anything with my hands! It's really as simple as that.
When I was a little girl, I watched both of my grandmothers create beautiful things with their hands. One grandmother worked at "the needlepoint shop" in Minneapolis and I remember visiting her there. I would spend hours looking through the drawers of embroidery floss and just adoring the colors and textures in the shop. My other grandmother was a beautiful seamstress. I remember traveling to her home in Milwaukee and watching as she put fabric pieces together- colors and patterns that spoke to her- creating the most breathtaking quilts, loved by all. She later would teach me to make a scrunchie for my hair... and the rest is history.
The creative process is something that brings me MUCH joy. All of the items in my shop are handmade by me and designed with babies and parents in mind. I only create items that are useful and stylish for you and your baby. Parents need gear that washes well and is functional, in material, size and shape. Babies, well, they need to look cute using these things...but they also need to love the products too! When I select fabric for my handmade items, I spend ample time considering how it will wash, how it will feel against baby's skin, how it will fit... all while ensuring it has eye-catching, aesthetic appeal. I love working with new color combinations, playing around with patterns, or gushing over the soft texture of a fabric that will transform into the cutest little hat! All of this puts me in my happy place- and it's a good place to reside.
I live in Minnesota with my husband and our four amazing children. Our favorite family activity is camping and spending time at our lake place up north during the summer. My family also loves to create- whether it be my husband building a deck at the lake or the kids foraging the woods for materials to make the cutest little fairy house, we aways have some type of project going on. During the Minnesota winter, you can usually find us at a hockey rink somewhere. In addition to Swoon Baby, I am also the owner of LOvB Photography, specializing in family and newborn photography.
I am so excited to be creating items for your beautiful baby. Thanks for checking out my shop!

Lindsay
