Check out the range of emotions from a sweet little smile to a sad pouty face…it’s just so hard being brand new to the world!

I almost never get requests for yellow and I just don’t know why - it’s so pretty & happy!

I was so excited when this mama said no girly pinks or purples for her baby girls newborn photoshoot at my Ann Arbor photography studio. Don’t get me wrong…I love pink and purple! I love changing it up and using some less traditional “girl” colors, such as yellow, green, blue, etc.

My professional photography studio is located in Sylvania Ohio, which is just a couple miles from the Michigan border. Clients travel to me from all over NW Ohio and SE Michigan, including Toledo, Perrysburg, Ottawa Hills, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Dundee, Detroit, Bloomfield Hills, Novi and more!

All newborn clients gain full access to my vast prop & accessory collection. I have everything needed to create the most beautiful images of your sweet new baby! All you have to do is show up and I am happy to take care of the rest for you. My prop room is overflowing with headbands & flower crowns, hats & bonnets, wraps & swaddles, vintage buckets, wooden bowls, and so much more!

The way I am obsessed with this baby girl! She gave us not 1 but 2 smiles! THE BEST!

I just love this shade of dusty blush pink on her - and the coordinating flower crown headband and lace bonnet. So precious. The great thing about booking an Ann Arbor newborn photo session with Sweet Bloom Photography is you don’t have to worry about bringing anything for the photoshoot! My beautiful professional photography studio in Sylvania Ohio is fully stocked with absolutely everything needed for your precious newborn baby photos. I have an entire prop room filled with a rainbow of color choices of backdrops, headbands & flower crowns, hats & bonnets, the coziest wraps & swaddles, and an amazing assortment of the most unique & vintage props such as buckets, bowls, baskets, and boho items as well. Just show up and let me take care of the rest!

With every Toledo Ohio newborn photo session, I always send a questionnaire to all of my clients. I love to get to know your personal preferences so that I can design the whole photography session around your favorite colors, props, etc. Sometimes clients want me to have complete creative control and I am totally okay to do that as well! I understand that some don’t really know what looks best or are just really open to anything because they trust my knowledge and expertise - so I am happy to take the wheel and choose everything, if that’s what you prefer. No matter what, we always go through everything together and make sure you are happy with everything. It’s no problem at all to switch out for a different color, prop, etc…these are your photos and I want you to be absolutely in love with them!

Dreaming of when I’ll be able to sleep like this again!

It’s the busiest time of year for us photographers - it can be difficult finding the time to sit down & edit when your days are spent shooting more sessions than usual! It didn’t help that I was out of town almost all of last week…plus, trying to get my holiday sets designed & photographed between it all (booking opens on Sunday - info to come, hang tight!). If you’re waiting on a gallery, I promise it’s coming ASAP!

Despite the craziness this time of year brings, I’m beyond grateful to be busy! It’s especially awesome when clients return year and after year…like this little cutie! I photographed her big sisters newborn photos and I was so honored to get to photograph their new addition! Isn’t she scrumptious??

I am often asked when is the best time to schedule and book a Toledo Ohio newborn photography session? I recommend booking your session while still in the 2nd trimester. Due to the time required for newborn photoshoots, I am only able to accept a limited number of due dates each month. Since baby isn’t likely to arrive exactly on their due date, I hold space on my calendar for around that time. Once your baby has made their arrival, I just ask that you send me a message when you’re all home and we will then set a date & time for the session at my Sylvania Ohio photography studio. I photograph newborn photo sessions when your baby is between 5-21 days old - this is when they are still in that sleepy, squishy, curled up stage. It goes by in the blink of an eye, so I want to photograph this short phase for you to always remember!

Toledo Ohio Newborn Baby Photography Session with Big Brother

Whenever I have a sibling coming into my Toledo Newborn Photography Studio that is between the age of 2-4, my goal is to get just ONE good photo. Well, big brother really showed up on picture day and we got a bunch for mom & dad!

This baby girl has quite the story! She was born at 27 weeks, weighing 1 pound 15 ounces. She came to my Sylvania Ohio newborn photography studio when she was 15 weeks old! Most newborn photoshoots take place when baby is approximately 1-3 weeks, so her session was just amazing! What an incredible baby girl.

Christmas Newborn Photos in Toledo Ohio

Bring on Christmas! My heart cannot handle this sweet baby and this adorable Christmas setup! It’s the little mug of hot chocolate for me…

It took some patience to get baby to pose juuuust right for this but I am IN LOVE with the final outcome! It was definitely worth taking the extra time. Once November hits, I just love asking my clients if they want to incorporate a Christmas photo into their session. It’s really fun to come up with something new and creative with each one! I have many different Christmas props and backdrops - hot cocoa mugs, gingerbread men, Santa hats, snowman, etc. The possibilities are endless…and ADORABLE!

Toledo Ohio Newborn Photo Session | Froggy Pose

This is definitely one of my most requested newborn poses! It’s called the Froggy Pose and, personally, I just love it. It really shows off those pouty lips, squishy cheeks, and their tiny fingers and toes! It’s amazing that this pose is so comfortable for the baby that they just sleep right through it, right?

What most people don’t know about this pose is that it is actually a Photoshop composite. It is never safe to leave a newborn baby in this position without keeping hands on the baby at all times. So, how do I do it? First, I get baby into position (I am trained in safely achieving this—I cannot stress how important this is!). Then, I take a photo while holding babies wrists…then, I take a photo while holding the top of babies head. I bring those 2 images into Photoshop to composite them together and VOILA! We have this adorable pose!
