Maternity Studio Photoshoot

Juliet & Grant’s studio Maternity Photoshoot

I had the best time with this sweet new couple for their maternity portraits. I still absolutely love having my own beautiful studio space. It now allows the options to my clients for either in studio or on location shoots.

When arriving to my studio for a maternity shoot. I offer a client closet which allow you to change and freshen up in between multiple outfits. The studio shoot offers traditional backdrop posing along with my window lit lifestyle area. I believe both offer a unique blend for your maternity portfolio. I also offer great pricing for those who want both maturity and newborn portraits. I offer many photo packages to fit the needs of the type of photos you want!

Intersted in booking a maternity and/or newborn shoot, please reach out and lets chat!

Rainbow Baby after the Storm | Newborn Photographer | Cleveland Ohio Photographer

As a Cleveland, Ohio photographer it is always such an honor to capture a rainbow baby photography session. Over the last 6 years, I have captured many rainbow babies in my studio. Such a pleasure to see the joy with the family after waiting many months or years for their special one to arrive.

What is a rainbow baby?

A baby born shortly after the loss of a previous baby. The loss could be from miscarriage stillbirth or death infancy. The term rainbow baby is often given, since the rainbow follows the storm.

What takes place during my newborn sessions?

My newborn sessions usually last 2-2.5 hours depending on how the baby does. If the baby is asleep I like to photograph all of the posed and wrapped shots first. If the baby becomes fussy, we usually take a small break to eat and then start with the family photos. While holding the baby and re positioning them, they often times fall back to sleep. I like to end with my lifestyle area and “less wrapped” photos. These photos can be more tricky since it depends how cooperative the baby is. If the baby is unable to settle this is the perfect time to capture those macro shots of tiny ears, feet and hands.

How to book?

It’s best to reach out before the baby comes to ensure you’ll have a spot reserved for newborn portraits. Most people do book well in advance and I don’t like to turn people away if my schedule is full.

The portraits usually take place anytime from day 5 to day 15 of life. I like this sweet spot, since they look like newborns and are more easily able to fall back to sleep.
