I am a Baltimore newborn photographer specializing in newborn family photography. I love to include the whole family in our session instead of having baby in props and wraps. Through both posed and candid shots I aim to capture the connection and sweet moments that come with having a newborn. And of course all their tiny features.
What is your style of newborn photography?
Question 1 of 6
Those first 2-3 weeks after you deliver are ideal. This is because babies are generally still very sleepy at this point.
That being said, as a 2 time C-section mom, I have chose to do my kids newborn photos at 3-4 weeks. It took me until this point to feel pretty much fully recovered from my surgery. We will talk about your preferences and see what works best for your family.
Sessions are scheduled for 2 weeks after your due date. We can adjust if needed but typically when scheduled this way the date doesn't need to be moved.
When is best for a newborn session?
Question 2 of 6
There is no such thing as too soon. I do limit the amount of newborns I take on in a month due to the nature of not knowing when they will arrive. This allows me to be able to fit everyone in but in turn limits the amount that I can commit to in a month.
How far in advance should I book my newborn session?
QUESTION 3 of 6
Although this is a personal preference I will say that I know the natural light in the studio is amazing and lighting is so important in photography. Sometimes a home that has poor natural light can be very challenging for consistency.
I also absolutely love going into homes and being able to incorporate all the details of the nursery. Your home is so intimate and well.. you.
It comes down to your style preference, the circumstances surrounding your home and what makes you feel most comfortable/less stressed!
Studio or In home?
QUESTION 4 of 6
After our session I get right to work on editing your gallery. You will receive your gallery electronically within 2 weeks from our session date. Trust me, I am just as excited to show you as you are to see them!
How long does it take to receive my gallery?
QUESTION 5 of 6
Most newborn sessions last 60-90 minutes. This allows time for feeding and changing breaks as needed.
How long is our newborn session?
QUESTION 6 of 6
For families in Baltimore and Maryland areas, I offer the option of cozy at-home sessions or sessions in my studio, designed with a comfortable home-like setting. If you’re concerned about your home being “photo-ready,” rest assured that my sessions focus on capturing close, intimate moments without the need for perfect surroundings. If you prefer a studio environment, my studio is designed to feel like a natural home, complete with a bed and crib to keep you and your baby comfortable throughout the session. This option provides all the comfort of an at-home shoot with the simplicity and convenience of a studio.

"Working with Julie was an amazing experience! She was incredibly accommodating and helpful when scheduling. So responsive and quick! During the session, she was great with our baby girl and even more amazing with our dog! We are so happy with all the photos and the final edits. The turnaround time was incredible. 10/10 would recommend!!"

"Julie was an absolute joy to work with for our newborn shoot. She was very responsive from start to finish, kind and just put me at ease during the shoot when my baby just wanted to fuss. Julie also provided us with her guide to prepare for the shoot, which was incredibly helpful in making us look more “put together” in our photos."

She really got to know us as a family and perfectly captured this special and magical time of our lives. The photos and video are works of art that I'll always cherish. Thank you, Julie!"

"Julie is without a doubt one of the most skilled photographers I’ve ever worked with! She did both my newborn shoot and my maternity shoot and my friends and family were blown away. I’ve had so many people say that my maternity shoot photos could be on the cover of a book they are that impressive! My newborn shoot was really tough because my baby would not stop crying the whole time, but Julie still got the most amazing pictures and made it seem like nothing out of the ordinary happened at all. I would recommend her to anybody in a second. Not only is she extremely skilled in what she does but she is incredibly professional, attentive, and kind. I can’t say enough great things about Julie and her business!"

"Julie did a wonderful job with my maternity/family photos! When I reached out to Julie initially, she was quick to respond, helpful in answering all of my questions, and accommodating with arranging a place and date/time for our photoshoot. We asked Julie to do our photos at our home -- she gladly trekked around our property up hills and through hay and soybean fields to get us the "harvest season" feel we wanted for our photos. She perfectly captured our vision! She sent us a sneak peek the following day and we were blown away. The rest of the pictures she sent later that week were just as beautiful. We plan to do annual photos for our family greeting card and can't wait to ask Julie to photograph our family again!"

"We loved working with Julie for our maternity and newborn photos. From her client closet (I was super grateful to not have to buy a long maternity dress for a one-time use) to her prompt replies to her honest, open, reasonable pricing to her thoughtfulness in making sure we did the shots I had requested in her pre-session surveys (I tend to get a little forgetful and/or intimidated making those requests in the moment, so I loved getting to think through things before and then know Julie would make sure it happened) she's truly wonderful to work with. Sessions didn't feel rushed, and we got our GORGEOUS photos back earlier than expected! Strongly recommend getting maternity and newborn photos to document the special time and strongly recommend Julie to do it!"

"Julie was AMAZING during our newborn session. She was very quick to respond and set up a session with. During the session she was very professional and patient with our rambunctious 15 month old, and patient with the new baby when she got fussy. The pictures turned out so amazing, and if we every need a photographer in the future, we will definitely be reaching out to her."

"I have had a fabulous experience with Julie as our family photographer! From maternity photos, mommy and me photos, and family photos with grandparents, Julie was amazing. I'm plus size and was very nervous about feeling beautiful and having a 'nice bump' and not looking fat for my maternity photos. She provided and let me try on a few maternity dresses, listened to what I wanted, and gave me lots of tips on how to stand and pose. I have loved all of the results and am so thankful for Julie's down to earth personality! Also she remembered that our nursery theme was moon and stars and she had moon and star cookies made for us when she delivered our photo package. She goes above and beyond for her clients!"

"Julie did our fall/winter maternity shoot! It was so easy to book our session with her, and she even provided dresses for me to try on and use if I wanted to. On the day of the shoot, she was so great and told us exactly what she needed to get the best pictures. She also wore a mask the entire shoot and made sure we weren’t too close to others at the photo location when our masks had to be off. Our pictures turned out great, and I would highly recommend her to other expecting moms!"

"Julie's down to earth personality and eye for photography and detail will complete any session. I worked with her for an hour for my maternity shoot on a hot day in May 2020 and it was a blast! It felt natural and comfortable just chatting away posing while she did her thing. She gives great direction on poses and even let me include my dog, Murphy! 5 STARS- Highly Recommend!"

She came prepared to the venue, had done her own research for shoot locations and made use of the lighting. Thank you Julie!"

Capturing the early days of your baby’s life should be an enjoyable experience for everyone. My photography style embraces the natural, unposed interactions between parents and their newborns. Each session is guided with patience and attention to detail. The result? Images that are both beautiful and meaningful.
Newborn photography sessions also offer a wonderful opportunity to document the entire family. Whether you want to include siblings, grandparents, or even family pets, my goal is to capture the love that surrounds your little one in their first days of life. Every image is thoughtfully composed to bring out the joy and connection that make your family unique.
Your newborn will only be this small once, and those early moments are worth preserving in a way that’s both authentic and timeless. I would love to help you create lasting images that your family will treasure for years to come. Contact me today to schedule your newborn photography session, and let’s make this experience as joyful and memorable as possible.
