A 10-Minute Drive from Hunt Valley to a Calm, Light-Filled Studio

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 Hunt Valley Families Get with Their Newborn Session
Newborn sessions at my studio are posed sessions — what some families call classic newborn photography. The studio is purpose-built for newborn portraiture: warm controlled temperature, professional lighting, soundproofed rooms, and an extensive collection of wraps, props, and baskets — a dedicated environment for gallery-quality work.
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 Hunt Valley Families Choose Ana Koska Photography
I’ve been photographing newborns for over fifteen years — making this my full-time, specialized focus longer than most photographers currently working in the Hunt Valley area.
My work has been recognized as the Best Newborn Photographer in Baltimore in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2024 — five separate years of independent recognition across nearly a decade. These awards are voted by Baltimore Magazine readers and editors — not self-claimed.
Featured on Reuters, MSNBC, NBC, Fox, and ABC News.
Hunt Valley families researching newborn photographers are looking for someone with consistent, recognized, gallery-quality work — and the experience to handle every baby with the same calm, careful approach regardless of how the session unfolds. That’s what fifteen years of newborn specialization and five Best of Baltimore awards represent.
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.
Most Hunt Valley families deliver at Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC), about twelve to seventeen minutes south of Hunt Valley in Towson — named “Best Place to Deliver Your Baby” by Baltimore’s Child Magazine in 2024. My studio sits right between Hunt Valley and GBMC, so on your way back home from the hospital, you’ll pass right by. Once you’re settled, call or message me and we schedule the session for whatever day works best in that first two-week window.
Hunt Valley Newborn Photography Notes
Hunt Valley is north Baltimore County’s corporate hub — home to McCormick & Co, Sinclair Broadcasting, and many of the region’s leading employers. The residential side is established, walkable, and home to families who tend to put deep thought into long-term decisions: where they raise their children, where they invest, who they trust to capture defining moments.
Many of the parents I photograph from Hunt Valley are professionals balancing demanding careers with the slower, more intentional pace of new parenthood. Whatever your situation — first child, second, or third — the approach is the same: a calm pace, careful safety, and a gallery that holds up on your wall fifteen years from now. Hunt Valley is part of my broader Baltimore newborn photography service across the region.
Hunt Valley Family Reviews
“Ana was accommodating and flexible with our 18-month old, allowing us to split our session when our little one melted down halfway through the studio session. We finished outdoors and had a lot of good shots to choose from.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Ana Koska’s studio from Hunt Valley, and what’s the best route?
About ten minutes south of Hunt Valley down York Road. The Lutherville-Timonium studio is literally on the path between Hunt Valley and GBMC, so the route is already familiar to most families from prenatal appointments. There is reserved parking right at the studio door.
How much does a newborn session cost?
Newborn session pricing varies by package — MINI, RUBY, or DIAMOND — each with a different number of edited digital images and gallery access. See full pricing and package details on our pricing page.
Do you photograph at our Hunt Valley home, or only in the studio?
Newborn sessions are studio-only at my Lutherville-Timonium location, ten minutes south of Hunt Valley. The studio is purpose-built for newborn photography with controlled temperature, professional lighting, sound dampening, and an extensive prop and wrap collection. Families don’t need to prepare anything at home — the short drive is shorter than the prep an in-home session would typically require.
When should we book if delivering at GBMC?
Book during your second trimester to secure your due-date window. GBMC is about twelve to seventeen minutes south of Hunt Valley in Towson, and my studio sits right between the two. On your way back home from the hospital, you’ll pass right by. 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 Hunt Valley families bring older siblings — the studio is calm and child-friendly.
Ready to schedule your Hunt Valley newborn session?
Reach out during your second trimester and we’ll save a window for your due-date range. From Hunt Valley to my Lutherville-Timonium studio is a short ten-minute drive south — and after your visits to GBMC, you’ll already know the route.
