Maria did an incredible job for our first family pictures! She did what I asked (to keep it natural and bright) and exceeded my expectations. She also knew exactly how to keep our 6 month engaged and smiling throughout the whole shoot. My husband and I don't always do well in front of a camera but Maria made us feel comfortable and natural!

Newborn photography in Ypsilanti

Those first tiny days go by in a blur. My newborn sessions are unhurried and lifestyle-leaning — capturing wrinkly toes, sleepy yawns, and the way your family naturally curls in close. We work at baby's pace, with plenty of time for feeding and snuggles.

What your Ypsilanti newborn session includes

Relaxed, baby-led pace

Sibling & family portraits

Ypsilanti newborn photography FAQ

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

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 Ypsilanti home, it's easy to schedule around feedings and naps.

Do newborn sessions happen at home in Ypsilanti?+

Yes — most Ypsilanti 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, Depot Town, Riverside Park and Frog Island Park makes a gentle option nearby.

What should we have ready for our Ypsilanti 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.
