For Baltimore families
A quiet place for your baby’s first portraits.
The first days can feel tender, blurry, and impossibly fast. Your session is designed to slow them down—gently, patiently, and without asking you or your baby to perform.
Ana has photographed newborns and growing families since 2010. Her Timonium studio welcomes parents from Baltimore and surrounding Maryland for calm, carefully guided newborn portraits.

Comfort before composition
Safety is the pace of the entire session.
Newborn photography should never depend on forcing a baby into a position. Ana watches your baby’s cues and comfort, supports each setup, and changes direction whenever your baby needs something different.
Feeding, changing, and soothing breaks are expected. Some photographs may require hands-on support or separately photographed elements, so the finished portrait can look effortless while the baby remains supported throughout.

Sleep, feeding, fussiness, and comfort determine what happens next.
Poses stay supported
No photograph is more important than your baby’s comfort and stability.
There is time to pause
The session makes room for the ordinary care a newborn needs.
When to reserve
Plan during pregnancy. Photograph when your baby is ready.
Many parents contact Ana during the second trimester. That creates room to discuss your vision and hold space around your due date before the newborn days begin.
Posed newborn portraits often happen during the first two weeks, when babies may sleep deeply and curl naturally. It is a helpful window, not a rigid deadline. If your baby is older, Ana adapts the session to how alert, settled, and comfortable they are.

The Timonium studio
Warm, private, and ready when you arrive.
Newborn sessions take place in Ana’s studio at 2211 Spring Lake Dr in Timonium, just off I-83. The indoor environment keeps light and temperature consistent and allows the session to unfold without weather or travel between locations.
Your baby may need to eat, be changed, or simply be held. Those moments are part of the experience—not interruptions. Ana moves through the session slowly, choosing wraps, backdrops, and simple details around your preferences and your baby’s needs.
Visits are by appointment. Take a look inside the studio.
Preparing without pressure
You bring the baby. We make the rest feel manageable.
Ana will guide you before the session, but this short list covers the essentials.
For your baby
Bring diapers, wipes, feeding supplies, and a pacifier if your baby uses one.
For your family
Soft neutral colors keep the attention on faces and connection. Avoid large logos and bright graphics.
For meaning
Tell Ana about a special blanket, heirloom, or small sentimental item before the session.
For peace of mind
Expect normal newborn moments. Feeding, fussiness, and diaper changes are all welcome.

What Baltimore parents ask before booking.
Still deciding what is right for your family? Ask Ana directly.
When should I reserve a newborn photography session?
The easiest time to reserve is during pregnancy, often in the second trimester. Ana plans around your due date and adjusts once your baby arrives, so an early or late arrival does not derail the session.
How old should my baby be for newborn photos?
Many posed newborn sessions happen during the first two weeks, when babies often sleep deeply and curl naturally. That window is helpful, not a deadline. Older newborns can still be photographed beautifully, with the session adapted to their alertness and comfort.
How does Ana approach newborn safety?
Your baby’s comfort comes before any pose. Ana works slowly, keeps each setup supported, watches your baby’s cues, and pauses for feeding, changing, or soothing whenever needed. A pose is never forced simply to make a photograph.
Where do newborn sessions take place?
Newborn sessions take place in Ana’s Timonium studio. The controlled indoor setting allows the session to stay warm, calm, and consistent while keeping wraps, backdrops, and other session materials close at hand.
What should we bring?
Bring the feeding supplies your baby needs, diapers and wipes, a pacifier if your baby uses one, and any meaningful item you hope to include. Ana will discuss clothing and color choices with you before the session.
How much does newborn photography cost?
Newborn collections are $600 for five, $900 for ten, or $1,100 for twenty individually retouched digital photographs. After Ana confirms your date, a $200 deposit reserves your session and is credited toward your chosen collection. The remaining balance is due on the session day. Additional photographs and professional prints are optional.
What happens after I inquire?
Share your due date or your baby’s birth date, the portraits you hope to create, and who you would like photographed. Collection prices are listed above and on the newborn pricing page. Ana usually replies within 24 hours with availability, answers to your questions, and the next planning steps.
The newborn experience
A calm beginning, thoughtfully photographed.
A newborn session is about more than a collection of poses. It is a quiet place to notice the details that change almost daily—the curl of tiny fingers, the sleepy expressions, and the way your baby fits in your arms.
This page walks you through the complete experience: when to reserve, how safety and pacing shape the session, what the studio provides, and how your finished photographs are selected. It is the best starting point when you are still learning what a newborn session with Ana feels like.
