Studio Maternity Session | Cleveland, Ohio | Maternity Session Guide

It seems that maternity photography can often times be overlooked but this is such a beautiful time to capture. I recommend maternity photos to be taken anytime from week 28 to week 35. Your belly needs to be large enough to show off :) But not too far a long that your uncomfortable.

I offer both in studio and on location maternity shoots. Some of my favorite locations within the Cleveland area are Squires castle and chagrin river park. I also can offer indoor maternity shoots at my beautiful studio located in downtown Painesville.

I also offer a discounted package called bump to baby. With this package you’ll receive a maternity, newborn and 1st year photos.

If you’re currently expecting and interested, please reach out! Its best to pre book the sessions.

January Studio Newborn Photoshoot | Cleveland's Best Photographer | Newborn Portraits

It is always the biggest compliment when I see parents come in for photos with their 2nd and 3rd child. It is such an honor to watch their families grow over the years. This sweet session was the family’s 2nd child and was such a dream at his first newborn shoot.

Meet Baby Grayson!

When should newborn pictures take place? I recommend anytime from day 5 to day 15 of life.

Does it have to be in that time frame? This is a strong recommendation if you would like the pictures to look like the ones you’ve seen on my website. Within that time frame the babies are usually sleepier and easier to wrap for the photos. Once they reach the 1 month age, they have grown and changed so much!

What newborn packages do you offer? I offer both a the full 2 hour shoot which includes family, newborn and sibling pictures. I also offer a petite newborn shoot for 1 hour. These photos are just of the baby alone.

What’s included with the newborn packages? The packages include the shooting time, full access to all high end wraps, bonnets and props. It also includes a minimum of 40 digital images. I usually send anywhere fro 40-50 images. You’ll also receive 20% off my professional printing services.

When should you book a Newborn Session? I recommend researching and booking your photographer during your second trimester. I know it’s early but my calendar does fill up and you can’t wait until the baby is born. It will be hard to find an open photographer.

Ready to book you session? Please reach out and I’d be happy to offer a phone consultation for your next Newborn Shoot.

Thank you,

I was so excited to offer a styled maternity session for a couple beautiful moms to be. The shoot took place in the beautiful sixth city studio located downtown. I’m now offering maternity dresses to all of those who book a full maternity session. I have heard so many times over the years, that the maternity dress is just worn once. So why not have the option to choose a dress From my client closet, wear and return it!

Petite Newborn Session | Cleveland, Ohio | Newborn Photography

Many times I encourage moms to be in the photos as much as they can. Because we all know moms are left out of the photos many times! However, I understand if sometimes you just don’t feel like having your photo taken. That’s why I now offer the Petite Newborn Session. Its a quick and easy session for just the baby so you don’t have to worry about things not fitting or looking right for the photos. Just come and relax at the session, while I take the baby and do my magic.

With the Petite Newborn Session, it includes a 1 hour session and your choice of 15 images. I send a fully edited gallery of 25-30 images and you can choose your best 15! You also have the choice of purchasing more digitals or the entire gallery.

If you’re interested in booking a petite session, please reach out as availability fills up for the year.

Mini Newborn Session

The Wonder of Fall | Fall Mini Sessions | Cleveland Ohio | Northeast Ohio

This years fall colors really have been quite beautiful. Add on the warm weather with the gold, yellow and red leaves and it made for the perfect fall in September and October. These two months are also a favorite month of mine to hold my fall mini sessions. What are fall mini sessions compared to regular sessions? Throughout the year I always hold a regular and petite session for those who are in need of shots. Those sessions are typical 1 hour or 30 minutes for the petite. They can often be 1 hour before sunset and are less rushed more fun and creative with the family.

However, my mini sessions which are only offered a few times a year are 20 minute sessions and scheduled in blocks of time. So they are a bit more rushed and more quick photos (a little less time to be super creative). But they are perfect for those who only want a few updated photos of the family or have little kids who they know won't sit still for longer than 20 minutes. My minis always have a full gallery sent of 25 images and you have the option to choose your favorite 10 images.

For more information, please reach out! I would love to hear from you:)
