A 20-Minute Drive from Fells Point to a Calm, Light-Filled Studio
From Fells Point, my Lutherville studio takes about twenty minutes north — Aliceanna Street west to I-83, then straight up to the Lutherville-Timonium exit. The drive is longer than from northern Baltimore neighborhoods, but Fells Point families consistently tell me it’s worth the trip for the studio experience. You bring nothing but the baby.
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 Fells Point Families Get with Their Newborn Session
Newborn sessions at my studio are posed studio sessions — purpose-built for newborn safety, careful posing, and gallery-grade results. The studio environment matters: warm controlled temperature for baby’s comfort, professional lighting designed for newborn skin tones, soundproofed rooms so the baby can sleep deeply, and an extensive collection of wraps, props, and baskets that have been tested over fifteen years. Lifestyle and in-home sessions have their place, but for the kind of careful, gallery-grade newborn portraits that hold up on your wall fifteen years from now, a controlled studio environment makes a measurable difference. That difference is what five Best of Baltimore awards recognize.
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 Fells Point Families Choose Ana Koska Photography
I’ve been photographing newborns for over fifteen years — full-time newborn specialization. Newborns require careful posing, specialized lighting setup, and someone who’s seen everything that can happen during a session. That’s what fifteen years of full-time newborn work gives you.
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 voted by Baltimore Magazine readers and editors. For Fells Point families researching photographers, that consistency matters: it means the work holds up year after year.
Newborn sessions start at $600 for the MINI package (5 digital images and a gallery of 20). The RUBY package is $900 (10 digital images, 50-70 gallery), and DIAMOND is $1,100 (20 digital images, 50-70 gallery). Each package includes a 2-3 hour studio session with a five-time Best of Baltimore winner.

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 Fells Point families deliver at Johns Hopkins Hospital in East Baltimore — about five minutes northeast of Fells Point, the closest delivery hospital. Some families also choose MedStar Union Memorial further north or MedStar Harbor Hospital near the Inner Harbor. Wherever you deliver, once you’re settled at home, call or message me and we schedule the session for whatever day works best in that first two-week window.
| Step | What Happens | When |
| 1️⃣ Book | Reach out during your second trimester and we’ll save your due-date window. | Second trimester |
| 2️⃣ Session | 2-3 hour studio session at Lutherville-Timonium, 20 minutes from Fells Point. | 5-14 days after birth |
| 3️⃣ Gallery | View and select your favorites from a private online gallery. | 2 weeks after session |
Fells Point Newborn Photography Notes
Fells Point sits on Baltimore’s southeast waterfront — founded in 1763, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, with the cobblestone streets and historic 18th and 19th century architecture to prove it. Broadway Market (established 1786) is one of the oldest continuously-operating public markets in America. The Recreation Pier — now The Sagamore Pendry hotel — sits where ships once unloaded cargo from around the world. Families here often have a deep connection to the neighborhood’s history and waterfront character.
Fells Point is part of the broader Baltimore newborn photography service area, with regular families from across southeast Baltimore — Canton, Upper Fells Point, the broader Inner Harbor area. The Best of Baltimore awards (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2024) span the same neighborhoods I’ve been photographing for over fifteen years.

“My family and I had a great experience with Ana! I was worried with twin toddlers that the experience would be a disaster, but Ana provided tips ahead of time (which I should have followed), was very patient and kind and still managed to capture some great photos. We’re very pleased with the quality of photos we received and will definitely reach out to Ana for our photography needs in the future. Highly recommend!“

Do you do in-home or lifestyle sessions in Fells Point?
Newborn sessions are studio-only at my Lutherville-Timonium location, about twenty minutes north of Fells Point. The studio is purpose-built for newborn photography with controlled temperature, professional lighting, sound dampening, and an extensive prop and wrap collection — a controlled environment that produces consistent gallery-grade results. Lifestyle and in-home sessions are a different style; for the kind of careful posed newborn portraits I specialize in, the studio approach gives the best outcomes.
When should we book if delivering at Johns Hopkins Hospital?
Book during your second trimester to secure your due-date window. Johns Hopkins Hospital in East Baltimore is the most popular delivery choice for Fells Point families — about five minutes northeast of Fells Point. If you deliver at MedStar Union Memorial or MedStar Harbor Hospital, the timing is the same — 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 Fells Point families bring older siblings — the studio is calm and child-friendly.
