A 45-Minute Drive from Annapolis — Why Families Make It
From Annapolis, my Lutherville studio takes about forty-five minutes north — I-97 North to I-695 West, then I-83 North to the Lutherville-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. Five separate years of Best of Baltimore recognition. Regional and national coverage. 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:
- 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 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:
- 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 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 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. Beyond local recognition, my work has been featured in regional and national publications covering newborn photography and family portraiture. For Annapolis families researching photographers, that broader recognition matters: it means the work has been independently evaluated across multiple platforms, not just one local market.
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 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.

| 2️⃣ Session | 2-3 hour studio session at Lutherville-Timonium, 45 minutes from Annapolis. | 5-14 days after birth |

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. The Best of Baltimore awards (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2024) plus regional and national recognition reflect fifteen years of consistent work — the same fifteen years I’ve been photographing Annapolis families.

About forty-five minutes north of Annapolis — I-97 North to I-695 West, then I-83 North to the Lutherville-Timonium exit. The studio is in Lutherville-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, five Best of Baltimore awards, regional and national recognition, 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).

Do you photograph at our Annapolis home, or only in the studio?
Newborn sessions are studio-only at my Lutherville-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.
