NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

BALTIMORE & ANNAPOLIS

Portrait sessions for the tiniest new addition to the family you’re building — because this stage disappears fast and you deserve photos that hold onto it.

Blink and You’ll Miss It

The newborn stage is a beautiful blur of sleepless nights and spit-up on your favorite shirt, gone before you know it. I get it because I’ve lived it. I showed up to my own maternity session with printed pose instructions in hand (my cousin still won’t let me live that one down), so I understand exactly the kind of woman who wants every detail planned and preserved.

As your Baltimore and Annapolis newborn photographer, I handle it all, including keeping your impossibly tiny human safe and comfortable the entire time. You bring the baby and the sleep deprivation. I’ll bring over a decade of experience and a whole lot of excited, capable energy.

What to Expect

Okay, real talk — you already have enough to worry about with a newborn, so let me take safety off your plate completely. I’ve been doing this for over a decade, and I’ve put in the time (hours of extensive training, seriously) to make sure every pose, every wrap, every little sleepy tuck is done the safe way. Your baby’s wellbeing isn’t just a priority for me, it’s basically my whole thing.

And comfort? We’ve got that covered too. My studio stays cozy with a space heater running just for baby (because nobody wants a chilly newborn in a tiny little outfit), plus a sound machine playing womb-like sounds to help them settle in and feel right at home. Basically I’ve thought of everything so you don’t have to.

You also don’t need to pack a thing. My studio in Pasadena, Maryland is fully stocked with wraps, outfits, hats, and headbands in every size and style, so we can create whatever look feels most “you.” Just bring that sweet baby and let me handle the rest.

Book Your Newborn Session

Choose Your Style

Some mamas want bold colors, fun props, and a little chaos energy in their photos. Others want that soft, airy, neutral glow where everything looks effortless (even though you definitely ironed something). Either way, I’ve got a gallery that’ll make you go “yep, that’s so me,” so pick your vibe below and let’s get you drooling over some photos.

What Clients Are Saying

I could tell you it's a good time, or you could just hear it from the moms who lived it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book my maternity session?

As soon as you know you want one, honestly. Bumps grow fast and my calendar as a Baltimore and Annapolis maternity photographer fills up quickly, so I recommend booking as soon as you hit your second trimester to lock in the sweet spot between 28 and 34 weeks. That said, if you’re reading this and you’re already at 30 weeks, don’t panic, message me and let’s see what we can do.

What should I bring to my session?

Great question, and I have opinions. Bring a nude strapless bra and nude undergarments as your base layer, plus heels in a few different colors, think black, white, nude, and one fun pop of color if you’ve got it. Oh, and jewelry, the sparklier the better. A little shimmer goes a long way in studio photography and instantly elevates the whole look.

Do I need to bring my own outfits?

Nope, that’s what I’m here for. As a maternity photography studio serving Baltimore and Annapolis, my client closet is full of pieces ready for you to choose from, so even if you show up empty handed you’ll walk out with stunning images.

Can I bring sentimental items to include in my photos?

Absolutely, I love this. If you’ve got a wedding veil, a teddy bear that’s going to belong to this baby, an ultrasound photo, or anything else with meaning, bring it. Those little details are what make your maternity session feel like it’s actually yours and not just a pretty picture.

What if I don’t know how to pose?

That makes two of us worrying about nothing, because as your maternity photographer I guide you through every single pose in studio. You don’t need to know your angles or your best side, that’s literally my job. You just show up and trust the process.
