The photos of my own babies are priceless.

From those tiny rolls, toes, and wrinkles, it’s all about those fleeting details.

Let’s preserve these memories for you to enjoy long after they have grown.

"Mary was much more than I expected in a photographer and I would highly recommend her for newborn photos.”
“We are so happy with Mary’s work. She photographed our oldest daughter’s newborn session, a one-year session, and has most recently taken our youngest daughter’s newborn photos. Mary’s patience and attention to detail are so appreciated. She makes the session so easy."
“Mary was absolutely amazing with our newborn baby girl! She was very calm, gentle and knew exactly how to soothe her and position her so she was safe the entire photo shoot. Mary has a beautiful studio and many accommodations for parents and other siblings so everyone is comfortable!"
“Our experience with Mary Christine exceeded all of our expectations! She was incredibly kind, and patient with our little one, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable."
"Mary took the time to listen to what type of pictures we wanted, and used that information to give us exactly what we wanted, plus more. We are so thankful we choose her!!”

Prep Tips for Your Newborn Session

Akron Newborn Photographer

For nursing moms, be careful with what you eat for about a day leading up to the session.

Any sort of spicy or gas causing foods can make the baby uncomfortable or upset their tummy.

Please have your little one awake for about 2 hours before you come to your session.

By giving them a bath and interacting with your little one, they will be ready to sleep for your session.

Make sure your baby has a nice full tummy before they leave the house to come to your session.

This way, the baby will still be full and has probably fallen asleep in the car.

Bring the pacifier.

If the baby takes a pacifier, you’ll want it there during the session. I never force a paci on your or the baby, but sometimes they can be really helpful! I also keep some on hand (brand new, in packaging).
