Newborn & Maternity Photography Client Reviews

Angela did our newborn shoot and maternity photos. It was worth every penny and I’m so glad we have beautiful photos of my pregnancy and our adorable little baby. If you’re looking for a photographer, you’ll be so happy with Angela’s work!

For any new or soon to be moms, if you’re on the fence about maternity photos or newborn photos, I highly recommend doing a session. I’m so happy to have these photos to remember this time!

We can’t recommend Angela for newborn photos enough! Venturing out for your first outing, especially when it’s your first baby, can feel overwhelming and scary, but Angela made us feel so comfortable and at ease! The studio is easy to access, clean and comfortable, (almost to the point it’ll put you to sleep like your baby!) She also has snacks and drinks for the parents, which is a nice touch. Her hospitality really shined when I started leaking and she had breast pads for moms. Small details like that really shine and showcase how she cares for her families. I was also worried about if my baby would be fussy or not cooperate, and if that would mean we would be under a time crunch for our shoot. My baby cooperated (thanks to the perfect environment she creates for them!) but even if he didn’t, she never makes you feel rushed. My baby got hungry halfway through and we were able to stop and feed him. On top of all that, the photos were amazing and really captured our baby’s personality! She is a miracle worker at making sure babies are soothed and camera ready! We will cherish these photos for life.

Angela was amazing! This was hands down one of the best experiences we have ever had with a photographer. Our daughter absolutely loved her and Angela did a great job making her smile and laugh. I found the idea for the shoot on Pinterest and Angela made it come to life! She is very professional and skilled. I would recommend her a million times over!!!

Angela was absolutely incredible in taking photos of our newborn. Her studio was so thought out, beautiful and calming. She knows exactly how to handle a newborn, and how to get them calm (asleep) and posed. Her scenes and accessories are so creative and precious. The photos turned out absolutely amazing. I feel like we have captured a beautiful moment of our daughter’s life in the most amazing way. I highly highly recommend her!

When I found out we were expecting baby number two, one of the things I was most looking forward to was getting to do another newborn session with Angela. She is the absolute best. Her photos are stunning. So much so that we have trouble choosing what we bought in our package. Angela is able to capture the perfect picture and that is no small feat with newborns and toddlers (she’s done both for us). She is not only professional, but so sweet and kind. Every session we have had with her has been fun. It feels like catching up with an old friend. I am looking forward to scheduling more family pictures with her in the years to come. If you are looking for a newborn photographer, look no further, Angela is who you want.
