Annapolis Newborn Session at a Glance
A 45-Minute Drive from Annapolis — Why Families Make It
From Annapolis, my Timonium studio takes about forty-five minutes north — I-97 North to I-695 West, then I-83 North to the Timonium exit. Yes, that’s a longer drive than most photographers Annapolis families consider. And it’s a fair question to ask why families make it.
The honest answer: Annapolis families don’t choose the studio because it’s the closest — they choose it because of the work. Fifteen years of full-time newborn specialization. A purpose-built studio designed specifically for newborn safety and gallery-grade results. When that combination matters to a family, the drive is part of the choice.
The studio is set up so you don’t need to think about anything once you arrive:
You bring the baby. I handle the rest.
What Annapolis Families Get with Their Newborn Session
Newborn sessions at my studio are posed sessions — what some families call classic newborn photography. The studio is set up specifically for newborn safety and quality: warm controlled temperature, professional lighting, soundproofed rooms, and an extensive collection of wraps, props, and baskets — a fully-equipped environment that consistently produces gallery-grade results.
Your baby will be photographed:
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 Annapolis 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 was recognized by Expertise.com among Baltimore’s Best Newborn Photographers in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2024. For Annapolis families researching photographers, that published recognition provides a clear record of the years listed above.
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 Ana.

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 Annapolis families deliver at Anne Arundel Medical Center — part of the Luminis Health system, just five to ten minutes from most Annapolis homes. Some families also choose Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie or GBMC in Towson (closer to my studio). 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.
Annapolis Newborn Photography Notes
Annapolis is the Maryland State Capital and one of the oldest cities in America — founded in 1649, the home of the Maryland State House (1772, the oldest continuously-used state capitol in the country), and the historic United States Naval Academy. It’s a city defined by Chesapeake Bay heritage, sailing culture, and colonial history. Annapolis families often value working with photographers whose work has been independently recognized — not just by one publication, but across multiple platforms and regions.
Annapolis is part of my broader Maryland newborn photography service area, with regular families from across Anne Arundel County and the surrounding Chesapeake Bay region. My experience reflects more than fifteen years of consistent work — the same fifteen years I’ve been photographing Annapolis families.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Ana Koska’s studio from Annapolis, and why do families make the longer drive?
About forty-five minutes north of Annapolis — I-97 North to I-695 West, then I-83 North to the Timonium exit. The studio is in Timonium. This is a longer drive than most local photographers, and Annapolis families typically make it for a specific reason: fifteen years of full-time newborn specialization and a purpose-built studio designed specifically for newborn safety and gallery-grade portraits. Reserved parking is right at the studio door.
How much does a newborn session cost?
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 Ana. See full pricing and packages on our pricing page.
Do you photograph at our Annapolis home, or only in the studio?
Newborn sessions are studio-only at my Timonium location, about forty-five minutes north of Annapolis. The studio is purpose-built for newborn photography with controlled temperature, professional lighting, sound dampening, and an extensive prop and wrap collection. Annapolis families don’t need to prepare anything at home — reserved parking is right at the studio door.
When should we book if delivering at Anne Arundel Medical Center?
Book during your second trimester to secure your due-date window. Anne Arundel Medical Center (Luminis Health) in Annapolis is the most popular delivery choice for Anne Arundel County families — just five to ten minutes from most Annapolis homes. If you deliver at Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie or GBMC in Towson, 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 Annapolis families bring older siblings — the studio is calm and child-friendly.

Reach out during your second trimester and we’ll save a window for your due-date range.
