Mentor Newborn Photography | Introducing Sutton

I am asked many times when is the best time for Newborn Portraits? There really is a magic timeframe for those adorable photos. Why? Because the baby really does need to be somewhat sleepy and still have that squishy newborn look. Its hard to believe, once they are close to 1 month old the “newborn” look is starting to fade. They are also much more awake and moving around.

I recommend photos to be done anytime from day 5 to day 15 of life. That gives a nice 2 week window for the photos to happen. It also give mom some time to recover from the hospital stay.

If you are expecting, please don’t hesitate to reach out and book your newborn portraits. I recommend booking them at least 3 months in advance, in order to secure your spot.

Please contact Danelle Joy Photography for more information.

Sometimes miracles come in two | Cleveland, Ohio | Newborn Photographer

The weather was crisp and cool but it made for the perfect backdrop for maternity photos in October. Squires Castle nestled in Cleveland, Ohio remains one of my top choices for maternity shoots. Especially during the fall and winter. There is just something so mystically, dreamy and beautiful about a castle secluded in the woods.

I also understand how it can be tough to sometimes to photograph little ones, when they are filled with energy. Thats why my style of photography isn’t staged and stiff. If the kids want to run, I run with them! And capture those genuine fun smiles. After all the candid picks, usually end up being my favorite anyway!

If you are excepting and want to learn more about all of my maternity, bump to baby and newborn photography. Please reach out! I have many packages that can be what you are looking for.

Welcome Baby Marcus | Cleveland Photographer | Best Newborn Photographer

Oh, how I love how everything came together perfectly for this studio newborn shoot! This family nailed their neutral clothings by mixing it up with some browns, blacks and creams. Your photos need to be elegant, classy and timeless especially when looking at them 15 years from now. When choosing what to wear, I don’t recommend any thing too trendy, stripes or patterns. Neutrals are always best! When booking a session with me, I’m happy to help consult clothing ideas and suggestions. Please reach out!

xoxo,

Maternity Photography | Cleveland, Ohio | Squires Castle | Newborn Photographer

Many new parents realize that they will want pictures of their pregnancy newborn and once their baby turns 1! That’s why I’m so excited to offer my bump to baby package. I have realized that many parents wanted each session and wouldn’t it be nice to have it all planned out for their first year. The maternity session I recommend taking place around week 32-week 36. I want your cute little bump showing but I also don't want to wait to long and your now uncomfortable and not wanting photos take.

For the newborn shoot, I recommend they are taken from day 5 to day 15 of life. Anytime after that I can not always guarantee the baby will sleep and have that little newborn look. Around the 1 month mark the newborns do change so much!

The milestone session can be your choice to be taken anytime within the first year of life. Most people like to do it for their 1st birthday. And don’t blink, because before you know you it you’ll be planning that first birthday ;)

Oh how I love traveling to families home and photographing their newest arrival. Once your home and settled the last thing you may feel like doing is leaving the house. So let me bring my studio to you! When I visit families home I bring many of my props, swaddles and items needed to create a beautiful gallery in the comforts of your home. The session consists of both traditional newborn portraits in props as well as lifestyle shots. These shots are done with the family and usually take place throughout the home. They are the more candid and intimate shots and less posed. But I understand how most families want both type of pictures. I offer both, so no need to choose!

Please reach out for specific pricing and booking with all my Newborn Packages.

Soon a sweet little baby will make a family of 3. One of my most popular packages that I offer families is my bump to baby package. This is such a new, fun and exciting time in a person’s life. It really should be documented the best it can. My bump to baby package is there to photograph your growing belly with a Maternity session, Newborn Session and finally a milestone session with the baby. This package can be purchased and booked with tentative dates, depending on when the baby is born. It is best to have your maternity photos taken in the 3rd trimester but not close to your due date. Moms usually feel their best during the beginning or middle of the 3rd trimester and you now have a belly to show off!

After the maternity session, I recommend the Newborn photos taken during days 4-15 of life. They are usually a quick 1 hour session taken in my studio. Finally the milestone session can be done anytime during the baby’s first year. Or you can have their first birthday smash cake session done.

I greatly enjoyed my time with the Sabol family and we documented their maternity session. Mom is feeling great and we are all anticipating the arrival of her baby girl. I will be photographing her Newborn pictures as well.
