As featured in Northeast Ohio Parent Magazine
Your baby’s first year passes in the blink of an eye — those tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and heart-melting yawns deserve to be remembered forever. As a Northeast Ohio baby photographer, I know how important it is to capture those fleeting moments in a way that feels effortless, natural, and true to your family.
I’m honored to be featured in Northeast Ohio Parent magazine, where I shared five essential things parents should know before booking their baby photos. These are the same insights I give to my own clients as a Northeast Ohio baby photographer, helping families enjoy a stress-free experience and timeless, heartfelt images.

1. Book Early — But Don’t Stress the Timing
The best time for newborn photos is typically within the first two weeks, but beautiful images are possible at any stage. The key is to book before baby arrives so we can stay flexible once your little one makes their debut.
In Northeast Ohio — especially during cold or flu season — planning ahead gives you peace of mind and ensures availability with your preferred photographer.
2. Decide What Style Fits Your Family
There’s no one “right” way to document your baby’s story. Some parents love the cozy, calm look of studio lifestyle photography, while others prefer the candid warmth of in-home sessions.
As a Medina, Ohio baby photographer, my studio is designed with soft natural light, neutral tones, and timeless styling — perfect for families who want a relaxed yet refined look.
3. Choose a Full-Service Photographer for a Stress-Free Experience
From wardrobe guidance to hair and makeup recommendations, a full-service experience makes your session effortless. You deserve to simply show up and enjoy your baby’s first photo session — everything else should be taken care of.
My clients love that they don’t have to stress over what to wear or how to coordinate colors. I provide a curated studio wardrobe designed to flatter new moms and complement your home’s aesthetic.
4. Make Safety Your Top Priority
Not all photographers are trained in newborn safety — and that’s something every parent should ask about. Those sweet, curled-up poses you see online are often composite images, edited to keep babies safe and supported.
Your baby’s comfort and safety always come first. I’m trained in safe posing techniques and take great care to ensure your little one is secure in every setup.
5. Choose a Timeless Style You’ll Love Forever
Your baby’s photos become part of your family’s legacy. Choose a baby photographer whose work feels natural, soft, and classic — a style you’ll still love twenty years from now.
My signature look is light, airy, and connection-focused — capturing emotion, not trends. It’s what defines my work as a trusted Northeast Ohio baby photographer, serving families in Medina, Akron, and Cleveland.
Why This Matters for Northeast Ohio Families
Living and working here in Northeast Ohio, I understand how unpredictable our seasons and schedules can be. My goal is to make every session calm and enjoyable — whether you’re coming from Medina, Akron, or Cleveland.
Every family deserves baby photos that feel true to them: effortless, connected, and timeless.
