Natural Newborn Photography for Laid-Back Baltimore Area Families

What if I told you newborn photo sessions didn't have to be complicated? That it really is as easy as relaxing in your own home and cuddling on the people you love. I bet you don't know just how gorgeous you look snuggling on your new baby, but I can show you. ;)









I'm Kim, a Baltimore newborn photographer, specializing in all things motherhood. Maternity, families, newborns and babies are what my sole focus has been for 17 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. I travel throughout most of Maryland and DC, photographing laid back people of all kinds in their homes and outdoors. I'd love nothing more than for you to be one of them!

MOtherhood looks beautiful on you!

The whole experience was wonderful, especially as we are first time parents who are just getting our bearings. We were immediately at ease with her and she was wonderful with our daughter. The photo turnaround was impressively quick and they are beautiful, so much so that I cried looking through the gallery.

Easy Going Newborn Photography

As a mom of 5, I know how seldom mothers end up in photos. You take a million photos of our babies with our phone while everyone else is holding them, but where are you? 

My priority is not just taking beautiful photos of your baby and other children, but it's including YOU too. As a Baltimore newborn photographer, I create an easy going experience that allows you to know what to expect, start to finish, so you can just relax and love on your new baby.

I book your due date as a floating space on my calendar and we set the firm date once you deliver. Please note that Newborn sessions are always booked on weekdays around 9:30/10am

How do I book when I don't know my due date?

I love Baltimore newborns, but that's not all I photograph! I photograph newborns and their growing families all around Maryland. My speciality is motherhood in general, which means I photograph maternity, newborns, babies, children and families all through the ages. If you'd like to know if I travel to your area, please reach out.

Are you only a Baltimore Newborn Photographer?

If you like the naturally sleepy curly images you see in my portfolio, the best time to book is before baby arrives so I can guarantee a spot in my calendar. With that being said, I try to hold space for last minute bookings and photograph newborns beautifully at any age. 

When should I book my Newborn Session?

I know you're insanely excited to see what we captured together, and I can't wait for you to see them too! I have a fairly fast turn around, so you can expect to download your fully edited images within 10 short days of your session. 

When will I receive my newborn Session photos?

I use props very minimally, outside of soft wraps and blankets to pose baby on for solo shots. When I arrive, I will have my cameras, and a bag with fabrics and blankets.  I may also have a little moses basket for posing and supplemental lighting in case we need it. I do this with purpose as I want to make sure we spend time capturing real connections and expressions. Using very little distractions from your perfect little baby.

DO you use props in your Baltimore newborn sessions?

I don't watch a clock because we move on baby's time, but you can expect a natural flow of 1-2.5 hours. We take as many breaks for changes and feeding as needed and you'll see, there's a natural end. Never rushed and always relaxed.

How long are newborn sessions?

I have photographed families in all types of homes. From a single room in a tiny apartment, to sprawling mansions that were immaculately decorated. I can tell you it 100%  does NOT matter.  What matters is the light and love, and I guarantee you have both.

We can use as much or as little of your home as you'd like. If you have great decor, awesome, we can include tiny bits. Nothing at all on the walls because you just moved in? Great! We have lots of white backgrounds and simplicity!

Truth be told, we spend a lot of time near windows and I will guide you before the session as what to expect. No need to fully clean or prep, it's a lot easier than you think.

I live in a small Baltimore City home - What if it's  too small,  not decorated? Or too Dark?
