Maryland Newborn Photographer
I’m Ana Koska — an award-winning Maryland newborn photographer with fifteen-plus years of experience specializing in newborns. Families come to our Timonium studio from across the state — Annapolis to Frederick, Bel Air to Columbia — for safe, calm newborn portraits.
Professional Newborn Photography Across Maryland
I’ve photographed hundreds of newborns and families across Maryland. Voted Best Newborn Photographer in Baltimore four times (2016, 2017, 2018, 2024).
What matters most when you’re entrusting me with your newborn isn’t the awards — it’s Ana Koska’s approach, and the depth that comes from doing this work week after week for fifteen-plus years. Every session is calm, paced, and unhurried.
Studio-Based Newborn Sessions for Maryland Families
Every newborn session I photograph in Maryland takes place inside the studio — not in a guest bedroom, not in a hotel room rented for the day, and not at your home. There’s a beautiful reason for that — and you’ll see the difference in every single image.
01
Why a studio session
Newborn photography demands three things at once: precise lighting, climate control, and complete safety. The studio is built specifically for this — backdrops, props, and lighting setups are dialed in before you arrive, the room is warmed to 80°F so your baby can be safely posed unwrapped, and every surface, pillow, and prop is cleaned between sessions.
02
What to expect
Sessions typically run 2 to 3 hours, paced for your baby. We work around feeds, soothing, and outfit changes — not against them. Parents are welcome to relax in the dedicated lounge area. Most galleries include parent and sibling portraits too, captured at the beginning of the session before the newborn posing begins.
03
Travel to studio
The studio is located in Timonium, Maryland—just off I-83 and centrally accessible from almost anywhere in the state. For most Maryland families, the drive is a straightforward 30 to 60 minutes. Plenty of free parking, no city traffic, and a quiet residential setting once you arrive.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you serve all of Maryland for newborn photography?
Yes — our Baltimore-area studio serves families from across Maryland, including Baltimore County, Howard County, Anne Arundel County, Harford County, Carroll County, and Frederick County. Most clients drive 30 to 60 minutes from their home to the studio for newborn sessions.
How far do you travel for Maryland newborn sessions?
All Maryland newborn sessions take place at the studio in Timonium — I don’t travel to clients for newborn work. The studio environment gives every session the same controlled lighting, climate, and safety standards, regardless of where families are driving from. Day-of-birth hospital sessions and some in-home work are occasionally available; reach out to discuss.
Where exactly is your Maryland newborn photography studio located?
The studio is in Timonium, Maryland — at 2211 Spring Lake Drive — just off I-83. It’s centrally accessible from most of central Maryland and the greater Baltimore metro area, with easy I-83 and I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) access.
Do you offer in-home (lifestyle) newborn photography in Maryland?
My primary work is studio-based — that’s where the work shines and where families consistently get the best results. For families specifically looking for in-home lifestyle newborn photography in Maryland, I’m happy to refer you to trusted Maryland colleagues whose style fits that approach better than mine.
How long is the drive to your studio from cities across Maryland?
Approximately: 25 minutes from Columbia, 45 minutes from Annapolis, 60 minutes from Frederick, 30 minutes from Bel Air, and 35 minutes from Westminster. Drive times are based on typical traffic conditions and direct I-83 or I-695 routes.
When is the best time to book a Maryland newborn session?
Most Maryland families book their newborn session during the second trimester of pregnancy. This locks in a tentative window around your due date. Once your baby arrives, we finalize the exact session day within 48 hours of birth. Late-pregnancy and post-birth bookings are sometimes possible — reach out and ask.

Maryland Counties & Cities We Serve
Award-winning newborn photography for families across Maryland, from Baltimore City neighborhoods to Baltimore County suburbs and families from surrounding counties willing to drive for award-winning work.
Baltimore City is where the largest cluster of families I work with lives, with a dedicated page covering nine distinct neighborhoods: from premium northern communities like Roland Park and Guilford to historic southern waterfront areas like Federal Hill, Fells Point, and Locust Point.
Closer to the studio itself, Baltimore County families reach Lutherville-Timonium in just a few minutes. Towson is the Baltimore County seat just to the south, and Cockeysville reaches affluent communities to the north. Hunt Valley families are within a ten-minute drive.
To the northwest, we welcome families from Owings Mills and Pikesville, serving parents delivering at nearby Northwest and Sinai Hospitals.
Western Baltimore County is where Catonsville sits, about 25 minutes south of the studio along I-695.
Beyond Baltimore County, three surrounding counties round out the service area. Columbia in Howard County is a planned community 30 minutes southwest of the studio. Bel Air is the Harford County seat, 30 minutes northeast. And Annapolis in Anne Arundel County reaches families 45 minutes south who are willing to drive for award-grade, Baltimore Magazine-recognized work.
Wherever in Maryland you call home, the studio approach is the same: calm light, careful posing, fifteen-plus years of full-time newborn specialization, and a gallery you’ll keep on your wall for the next fifteen years.
