NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO
The tiny peach fuzz on your baby’s back. How big Dad’s hands look when your baby is in them. These are the things you are going to hope you never forget.
There is nothing like a photograph to remind you of that new baby smell and bring you right back to where your Motherhood story all began.
I can promise you that as a Mother of three myself, those first few days (weeks…okay months…!) can only be described as a beautiful blur. You’ll know exhaustion on a whole new level and each time you go to put a bit of food into your mouth or take a sip of coffee that sweet baby of yours will wake up and begin to cry. Seriously, it’s like they have a Mom’s-about-to-eat-radar.
But I’m here to focus on the beauty that is Motherhood in all of its imperfect, messy, and magnificent glory.
Whether it’s documenting those sweet, tender moments and details, the fact you got that baby to latch on and nurse, or the chaos that is your life right now…I’m here for it.
If you’re in the Cleveland or Akron, Ohio area and searching for a newborn photographer, please view a selection of just a few of my favorite photos I’ve taken, and get all the investment details and more about working with me below.
“We have had Lauren take our family photos for almost 5 years now. She knows exactly what she’s doing and knows what little details to capture. Expect high quality photos, from a high quality person! There’s no one I trust more than her to document our family’s important moments. Thank you Lauren!!”

FAQ: Let Me Answer Your Questions.
-
The majority of my newborn sessions take place on weekday mornings, however if this doesn’t work for your schedule, please reach out and we will make arrangements. I typically suggest trying to get in for your session before your partner has to return to work if possible. As far as when you should bring baby in, for studio sessions, I don’t believe in putting pressure on coming in right away if you aren’t feeling up to it and photograph newborns up to 6 weeks old. If you want to bring baby in right away, great! But, I realize the postpartum period can be difficult on Mom, so if you need a few weeks, that is no problem at all. They’ll still be just as adorable, promise :)
-
Yes! All sessions include immediate family members, meaning spouses/children. I do ask you do not bring grandparents, friends, or other family members along, and I do not currently offer extended family sessions.
-
Absolutely! A HUGE part of the final results is wardrobe. Sounds superficial, but its true. For studio newborn sessions, I have a curated collection of wardrobe for the new baby, so you don’t need to bring anything for them to wear at all unless you want to. I offer a virtual styling tool which my clients LOVE that helps plan out outfits for the rest of the family.
-
If you’d like to do an in home newborn session please just let me know. ! If you are due during warmer months (May-September) and want to do an outdoor session, we can also arrange that, just let me know when you inquire!
-
My goal is to make the process of working with me not only easy but fun! I know the longer you wait for photos, the less exciting it is. I get all proofing galleries back to you within 7 days of your session, and final galleries delivered within 4 weeks after you’ve chosen and paid the final invoice!
-
Yes! If you would love to work with me, but need to spread out payments, no problem. Just contact me about setting one up!
-
I suggest booking in your 2nd trimester! Once you are between 12-14 weeks, send me an email and let’s set it up! We will book by your due date, and then once baby arrives (or if you are scheduled for an induction/csection) we will get your official date on the calendar! For hospital sessions, we keep in touch and plan those as soon as baby arrives!
-
All of my sessions have what is referred to as a documentary or lifestyle feel. Meaning, they are baby led and family driven. Babies love being held, especially by their parents! So, many of the photographs will involve parents holding baby in various positions. I will pose and direct you, but I currently do not offer “posed” newborn only photos where they are propped up on their hands in buckets and things of that nature. We are keeping it natural here, and focusing on connection, emotion, and storytelling.
