Ann Arbor newborn photography FAQ

How old should my baby be for a newborn session in Ann Arbor?+

Newborn sessions are loveliest within the first two weeks, while babies are sleepiest and most curled up, but I happily photograph older newborns too. Because I come to your Ann Arbor home, it's easy to schedule around feedings and naps.

Do newborn sessions happen at home in Ann Arbor?+

Yes — most Ann Arbor newborn sessions are in-home and lifestyle-led, using your own soft window light and nursery so your baby stays comfortable. If you'd like a few fresh-air frames later on, In the comfort of your own home (lifestyle newborn), A soft, simple in-home setup with natural window light and Optional: a gentle outdoor portrait at Gallup Park once baby has settled makes a gentle option nearby.

What should we have ready for our Ann Arbor newborn session?+

Not much — a warm room, a recently fed baby, and a little patience. The session is baby-led and unhurried, with plenty of time for feeding and snuggles, and siblings and family are always welcome in the photos.
