Ana Koska Photography has been serving Roland Park families since 2010. Five-time Best of Baltimore winner. Studio just 12 minutes north of your home — calm light, careful posing, and a gallery that holds up on your wall fifteen years from now.
A 12-Minute Drive from Roland Park to a Calm, Light-Filled Studio
Roland Park sits in north Baltimore, just south of my Lutherville studio. Most families come up Falls Road or Charles Street — either route puts you here in under fifteen minutes, even with morning traffic.
The studio is set up so you don’t need to think about anything once you arrive:
- Reserved parking right at the door
- Warm, controlled temperature for baby
- A quiet, private room for nursing or settling in
- Wraps, swaddles, headbands, bonnets, and baskets ready
- A wardrobe closet for parents and siblings if you’d like to use it
You bring the baby. I handle the rest.
What Roland Park Families Get with Their Newborn Session
Newborn sessions at my studio are posed sessions — what some families call classic newborn photography.
Your baby will be photographed:
- Sleeping in soft wraps and bare-skin curls
- In parent arms and against parent skin
- With siblings included (if you’d like)
- In careful basket and bowl setups
Sessions last two to three hours. That sounds long, but it moves easily because we work around feeds, naps, and any pauses your baby needs.
Why Roland Park Families Choose Ana Koska Photography
I’ve been photographing newborns for over fifteen years.
My work has been recognized as the Best Newborn Photographer in Baltimore in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2024 — five separate years.
Featured on Reuters, MSNBC, NBC, Fox, and ABC News.
I mention this not as a list of awards but so Roland Park families researching photographers can decide quickly: this is someone who has done this many, many times, who handles newborns gently, who knows when to keep working and when to let baby take a break.
When to Book Your Newborn Session
The best time to schedule a newborn session is during your second trimester, before things get hectic. Booking early secures a window in your due-date range.
The actual session happens within the first five to fourteen days after your baby is born — when newborns still curl easily and sleep deeply.
Many Roland Park families deliver at Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), which is just five minutes from the studio. You’ll already know the route. Once your baby arrives, you call or message me, and we schedule the session for whatever day works best in that first two-week window.
Roland Park Newborn Photography Notes
Roland Park has a distinctive character among Baltimore neighborhoods — the tree-lined streets, the Olmsted-designed layout from 1891, the deep front porches and gables of the original cottages. It’s a neighborhood where established families and young professionals choose to set down roots.
Many of the parents I photograph from Roland Park are second-time parents who want studio newborn portraits that match the older sibling’s first session, or first-time parents who want one carefully done newborn session.
Whatever bracket you’re in, the approach is the same: a calm pace, careful safety, and a gallery that holds up on your wall fifteen years from now. Roland Park is part of my broader Baltimore newborn photography service across the city.
Reviews From Families Near Roland Park
“Ana is professional and we would definitely work with her again!”

★★★★★
“We loved working with Ana to capture some photos of our one-year-old!
It was very easy to communicate with Ana – she is very thoughtful, professional, and transparent, letting you know what to expect at each price point she offers and what you will receive (no unexpected hidden costs). During the photoshoot she made our toddler feel comfortable and got many laughs and big smiles! We received the photos very quickly, only about a week after the shoot. The style and quality were just what we were looking for, and our family loves them. We would definitely recommend Ana to others!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Ana Koska’s studio from Roland Park, and what’s the best route?
About twelve minutes by car. The Lutherville studio is just north of Roland Park via Falls Road or Charles Street, with reserved parking on site.
How much does a newborn session cost?
Newborn session pricing varies by package. Most Roland Park families choose a full session that includes the studio time, edited gallery, and artwork credits. See full pricing and packages on our pricing page.
Do you photograph at our Roland Park home, or only in the studio?
Newborn sessions are studio-only at my Lutherville location. The studio is set up with controlled light, warmth, props, and wardrobe so families do not need to prepare their home. The twelve-minute drive from Roland Park is shorter than the prep an in-home session usually requires.
When should we book if delivering at GBMC?
Book during your second trimester to secure your due-date window. GBMC is five minutes from the studio, so the route will already be familiar after your hospital visits. The actual session happens within the first five to fourteen days after your baby is born.
Can siblings and family be in the session?
Yes. Sibling and parent portraits are part of the session. We typically do those first while everyone is fresh, then move to baby-only setups. Many Roland Park families bring older siblings — the studio is calm and child-friendly.
