A 13-Minute Drive from Pikesville to a Calm, Light-Filled Studio
From Pikesville, my Lutherville studio takes about thirteen minutes northeast — I-695 to the I-83 north exit, or Reisterstown Road north for a slightly slower but scenic alternative. The studio is fully equipped and ready when you arrive — 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 Pikesville 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 Pikesville 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 Pikesville 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 Pikesville families deliver at Sinai Hospital in northwest Baltimore — part of the LifeBridge Health system, about five to seven minutes from Pikesville. Some families also choose Northwest Hospital in Randallstown (also LifeBridge Health) or GBMC in Towson. 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.

| 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, 13 minutes from Pikesville. | 5-14 days after birth |
| 3️⃣ Gallery | View and select your favorites from a private online gallery. | 2 weeks after session |
Pikesville Newborn Photography Notes
Pikesville sits in northwest Baltimore County — one of the area’s most established suburban communities, with deep roots going back to the historic Sudbrook Park planned community of 1889. Today it’s anchored by the LifeBridge Health corridor (Sinai Hospital just minutes away) and the Old Court Road commercial corridor. Families here often span multiple generations in the same community. The studio is thirteen minutes northeast via I-695 or Reisterstown Road.
Many of the parents I photograph from Pikesville are families from many backgrounds — first child or fifth, whatever your story. The Best of Baltimore awards (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2024) span the same Baltimore County families I’ve been photographing for over fifteen years. Pikesville is part of my broader Maryland newborn photography service area, with regular families from across northwest Baltimore County.
Pikesville Family Reviews
“We have used Ana for over 6 years now (since I was pregnant with my daughter) and we absolutely love her sooo much. She is amazing for maternity photos… and even better for newborn photos. When we first started our relationship with Ana I asked if we could keep getting photos of our daughter every year and every year that are simply amazing. Ana is a Mom herself so she knows just what to do to bring out the best in your kids. She was really managed to capture our daughter’s spirit and her photography is simply breathtaking.”

Newborn sessions are studio-only at my Lutherville-Timonium location, about thirteen minutes northeast of Pikesville. The studio is purpose-built for newborn photography with controlled temperature, professional lighting, sound dampening, and an extensive prop and wrap collection. Pikesville families don’t need to prepare anything at home — reserved parking is right at the studio door.
When should we book if delivering at Sinai Hospital?
Book during your second trimester to secure your due-date window. Sinai Hospital (LifeBridge Health) in northwest Baltimore is the most popular delivery choice for Pikesville families — just five to seven minutes away. If you deliver at Northwest Hospital (also LifeBridge Health) 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 Pikesville families bring older siblings — the studio is calm and child-friendly.
