Newborn Photography
Photographed by Metro Detroit Photographer, Chelsie Maurer
There’s nothing like welcoming your beautiful baby into the world.
Their tiny little features, the newborn baby smell (it is the best, right?), and the way they still curl up like they’re in the womb. Photographing your baby is truly an honor, and creating portraits and keepsakes for your family is something you will look back on and enjoy for years to come.
Within your luxury portrait experience, you will receive a complimentary consultation where we will curate your ideas and wants for your baby’s newborn session, including your favorite must-have poses and color preferences to use throughout the session. All props, wraps, baby bonnets, and tiebacks are provided for your custom, stylized session. Your newborn photo session experience will be easy and stress-free, while baby is photographed in a clean and safe studio environment. At your Viewing and Ordering appointment, you will swoon while you see the beautifully crafted photos of your new little one. I will walk you through the process to select your portraits and artwork that best fits your home and style.
Are you ready to sit back and relax?
Testimonial
“Working with Chelsie was the best! She is very kind, personable, and talented. My maternity photo session was super relaxed, but also well guided and thought out, and my son’s newborn session was a breeze as she was able to keep him asleep the whole time. Choosing photos can usually be very overwhelming, but Chelsie did an amazing job walking us through a very organized photo review session. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos!
She’s an amazing photographer and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!” - Anne M.
Frequently Asked Questions
01. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Starting prices and details of what is included can be found on the Newborn Investment page.
02. WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY NEWBORN SESSION?
Typically it is best scheduled in the second or third trimesters of pregnancy, as I typically book 2-3 months in advance. I try to leave a few spots open, so don’t hesitate to reach out if baby was just born!
03. WHEN DOES THE PHOTO SHOOT OCCUR?
After you deliver your baby, you contact me within 1-2 days letting me know baby was born. I then provide dates for your session within 2-3 weeks while baby is still extra sleepy and poseable.
04. CAN WE ALSO TAKE FAMILY PHOTOS AT THE SESSION?
Yes, of course! I strongly encourage capturing your growing family, as well as sibling photos, too. There is no additional fee for this.
05. DO I NEED TO BRING MY OWN PROPS AND OUTFITS FOR MY BABY?
The newborn session includes complimentary use of the props, swaddles, headbands, bonnets and so forth. You don’t need to worry about that all at, I’ve got you covered!

A relaxing, calm and memorable experience for your newborn portraits. Look at what these clients had to say…
“Chelsie is incredible and will leave you with photos to cherish for a lifetime. She has a magic touch with babies - her calm, gentle, kind demeanor makes her the perfect newborn photographer. She photographed our newborn twin girls when they were 3 weeks old. As a first time mom I thought I would want to be right there next to her, ensuring the babies were ok, comfortable and happy. I soon realized that there was absolutely no need — she cared for the girls during and between every shot. The photos turned out beautifully and her products are very high quality. We’ll have our album forever and will always adore the memories captured in the photos.”

“Best photography experience ever! Chelsie makes the entire process so special. Her selection of newborn swaddles, outfits, and even a “mommy closet” take the stress out of coordinating looks. She is not only an expert at posing, but is a complete Baby Whisperer! Our photos turned out better than I could have even imagined. She captured our baby son and little family beautifully.”
-Ali G.
“Chelsie is an amazing photographer who creates a wonderful experience for your whole family! We had a great time doing our newborn and maternity sessions and couldn’t be happier with the results. The photos look even better than we could have imagined and the prints are gorgeous. She will take amazing care of you down to every detail and I could not recommend her enough! She fun, thoughtful, creative, professional, full of ideas, and flexible.”
