Life with a newborn is a beautiful whirlwind.
Between sleepless nights, tiny yawns, and endless cuddles, these first days pass in a blur. As a newborn photographer in Akron, Ohio, I know how important it is to slow down and preserve these fleeting moments. That’s why so many Akron families visit our light-filled Medina studio — a calm, welcoming space where you don’t have to worry about a thing.
From styling to posing, every detail is thoughtfully taken care of so you can simply enjoy the moment with your little one.
Before Your Session:
The best time to capture those tiny details is within your baby's first few weeks of life. We'll schedule your session for when baby is between 7-21 days old—when they're still sleepy, curly, and naturally settle into those sweet newborn poses.
Pre-session checklist:
Book your session during pregnancy (due dates are flexible—we'll adjust once baby arrives!)
Choose your session style: studio (posed and styled) or lifestyle (in-home and natural)
Feed baby right before the session for maximum sleepiness
Keep your home warm if choosing an in-home session (helps baby stay comfortable)
Plan for parents and siblings to be camera-ready for family photos
What's included:
All props, wraps, headbands, hats, and outfits for baby
Variety of setups, colors, and styling options
Parent and sibling photos incorporated throughout
Gentle posing and safe handling techniques
During the Session:
Newborn sessions last 1-2 hours because we move at baby's pace—not ours. Baby is the boss! We allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, diaper changes, and cuddles.
Your personalized estimate will be emailed to you right away. Take your time browsing.
Your family’s story deserves to be told with ease and heart. Together, we’ll create timeless photographs you’ll treasure.
Our Medina photography studio is about 25 minutes from downtown Akron, offering a peaceful, full-service experience worth the short drive. Families often tell us the short drive is worth it for the stress-free experience and timeless results.
