Metro Detroit Newborn Photographer

The beginning of their story, told in photographs

Welcome to my Mount Clemens studio, where newborn sessions are designed to feel calm, safe, and completely unhurried. My approach focuses on capturing the tiny details and quiet connections that define those first days, from curled fingers to sleepy expressions, in a timeless and natural way.

The first weeks with a new baby move fast. My role is to slow things down and preserve this season exactly as it felt, so you never have to rely on memory alone.

If you’re looking for newborn photography in Metro Detroit that is gentle, intentional, and centered around your baby’s comfort, you’re in the right place.

What to expect from your newborn session

Newborn sessions take place in my Mount Clemens studio and are typically scheduled within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are naturally sleepier and more easily settled. Sessions are baby-led and allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and breaks whenever needed.

I provide everything required for your session, including carefully selected props, wraps, textures, and a client wardrobe for parents. You don’t need to bring a thing other than your baby.

Your baby’s safety is always my top priority. Every pose is done gently and naturally, with constant attention to comfort, warmth, and support. If a pose doesn’t feel right for your baby, we simply move on.

A relaxed experience for new parents

Those early days can feel overwhelming, and I want your session to be one of the easiest things on your calendar. My studio environment is warm, quiet, and intentionally paced so you can relax while I take care of the details.

Whether your baby sleeps the entire session or needs extra cuddles, you are never rushed. Some of the most meaningful images come from those in-between moments.

And then the pictures!!!! They were amazing! I looked stunning, and my baby looked like a perfect little bean, that had clearly been modeling for ages! 😀

Thank you so much for the perfect pictures, Katie!!!

Many families who begin with newborn photography return a year later to celebrate their baby’s first birthday with a cake smash session. It’s a meaningful way to continue documenting your child’s story as they grow.
