Valentine’s Mini Sessions 2022 | Heartlove Photography Maryland

🍪 We’ve got an adorable set – just in time for Valentine’s Day – full of fun memory-making. 

🎄 This kitchen set will be stocked with allergy-friendly faux cookies and cupcakes with plenty of bowls, spoons and aprons on hand.  Sprinkle some powdered sugar here and there… and probably everywhere. It’s the sort of baking memory that’s fun to make – especially when there is no clean-up involved in your own kitchen. 😉 

🧁 The cost is $250 for a 15 minute session including 3 digital images.

sitter session | annapolis baby photography studio

The eyelashes. The cheeks.
They call these “sitter” portrait sessions because baby is sitting and maybe crawling but not quite standing or walking yet. Babies do this between 7-9 months old give or take and it was probably the most fun part of babyhood for me as a parent. Their little personalities just shine and they cackle when things are funny. They sleep a little more soundly (usually) and their schedule gets a little more predictable but they aren’t quite big or fast enough to be “into everything” quite yet. It’s just a joy all the way around and I’m lucky to get to hang out with these little ones on the daily in my Pasadena MD photography studio.  I provide all the props, blankets and wardrobe for babies from newborn to 18mo.

4 week old natural newborn photography | maryland baby photography

Natural newborn photography does not rely on babies being under 2 weeks old to get beautiful images of the looks and behaviors of brand new babies.  This little one is 4 weeks old. All white portrait sessions take place in my Pasadena MD portrait studio. Contact me today to book your own.

Where possible I’ve used referral links/links that will give you a coupon for your first purchase.

 

 

Newborn wraps 10 for $30. Enough said. 🤯 

But they also sell beautiful lace and muslin gowns for adults and children. I’ve got one of each, I swear. 

Skip the wool flokati rugs and buy from Custom Photo Props. They are inexpensive, last for years, come in a ton of colors and textures, are lightweight and so easy to wash. I own one of each and I usually go for the 3x5ft size. Their wraps are also super high quality. Use promo code NEWYEAR20

You need a Freeform poser. Period. There are many knock-offs and copy cats but this is the only one to do what it does.

best of posed and lifestyle newborn photography | in home posed newborn session maryland

I absolutely love bringing my studio to a client’s home for a newborn session.  This way we can create those posed, studio-style images while parents relax in the comfort of their own home AND include images of life with a newborn in the spaces you will want to remember. 

This session was half posed and half lifestyle. That means half of the session was just like what I do in the studio – except the studio was set up in the client’s living room.  This is a great option for those who would have a long drive to my Pasadena, MD studio, who wish to have their newborn images made before baby is 1 week old or generally want to take extra time to recover without leaving the house.  I bring all the props, backdrops, wraps, hats and lighting – even wardrobe for mom is included!

After getting posed images, the family spends a little time enjoying snuggles with baby and all the family pets.  This option truly is the best of both worlds.

 Of course, many families choose just lifestyle images in their own which means I show up with just a camera in hand and capture about an hour of their regular day with a new baby.
