My studio was built in 1790 (when Washington was president!) in historic Downtown Frederick, Maryland, which is less than 1 hour from the Washington, DC metro area. The 650 square foot space is full of vintage charm from pocket doors to a turn of the century fireplace, deep windowsills and tall ceilings - and crystal chandeliers! A coffee station and lounge area is available to relax in during your session, as well as charming Baker Park across the street in case your older children need a play break! The light is always lovely and you don't have to straighten up your home - win/win!
In home lifestyle sessions incorporate the decor and vibe of your home in your images from your newborn session. If you have a newborn nursery, special pet you can't travel with but want included, or just feel your older siblings would do better in their own environment, then an in home lifestyle session may be a great option. We utilize your home to create peaceful and beautiful images to document these first few days of your lives together.
Client favorite and the most popular option
Convenient, downtown Frederick Maryland location with beautiful natural & studio light as well as all the props and studio wardrobe.
In home lifestyle sessions are a perfect way to showcase your home and decor in a photo session with your growing family.
Great if you want to feature your nursery, special paint colors or decor in your home, as well as make it personal!
Perfect if you don't want to travel, or have older siblings or pets that can't travel to my studio.
Siblings (and four legged siblings) welcome!
classic Studio newborn Sessions
In Home Lifestyle Sessions
To achieve the sleepy baby images, I recommend holding the session within the first 2 weeks of life.
When your baby is born, reach out to me within the first day or two to confirm your session date.
Newborn sessions typically last 1-3 hours to ensure time for feeding and cuddle breaks
Recommend booking in advance - second trimester is a great time to book!
