Ann Arbor Newborn Photo Session
I have just opened my calendar for February due dates!
Curious about how booking a newborn session works? I get this question a lot - I’ll explain! So, since we usually don’t know exactly when your little will arrive, I hold space on my calendar for around the time of baby’s due date. Once your little one has made their arrival, we will then schedule a date & time for the session to take place between 5-21 days old. That sweet, sleepy phase goes by so incredibly fast!
Due to the time needed for newborn sessions, I only accept a limited number of due dates each month. I recommend booking your newborn session while still in the 2nd trimester - this will help to ensure you secure a spot in my schedule.
Newborn sessions take place at my natural light home photography studio located in Sylvania Ohio. I service clients from all over NW Ohio and SE Michigan, such as Toledo, Perrysburg, Bowling Green, Ann Arbor, Detroit and more. I have a client closet that is filled with absolutely everything needed for the session - headbands, hats & bonnets, wraps, a rainbow of backdrop colors to choose from, and a large selection of unique & vintage props like buckets, bowls, baskets, crates, beds, boho, and more!

Toledo Ohio Cake Smash Photo Session
I have been a little quiet around here because I’ve been super busy with all of these 1st birthday photo sessions I’ve had lately! Luisa has been with me since she was in her mamas belly and I seriously cannot believe we just did her cake smash already! How has it already been 1 year?! I’m in love with this all white cake smash session with a touch of baby’s breath florals…the white vintage high chair seriously made this cake smash though!
Ann Arbor 1st Birthday Baby Photographer
My weakness: baby curls!! I am obsessed with his hair.
I met this sweet boy for the first time during my Christmas Mini Sessions last year. He was such a happy, smiley baby then and he is still a happy, smiley baby now! That always helps my job easy! It was actually a bit of a cloudy day during this outdoor baby photo session, however, we got lucky and the sun popped out for maybe 5 minutes. I definitely used it as much as I could, so we were able to have some sunny photos too.
Toledo Ohio Easter Mini Sessions
Easter Mini Sessions in my Sylvania Ohio studio are here!
I am so excited for this years Easter Mini Sessions! These sessions will take place at my home studio located in Sylvania, Ohio. Come dressed in your Easter best or you can even borrow from my client closet, including bunny rompers (I have white and grey), bunny hats, and other cute outfits (sized mostly 6-18 months, however, I do have larger sizes - just ask!)
I can’t/won’t have live chicks for a variety of reasons, however, I have some fake chicks that are actually pretty cute and realistic! Due to the size of this Easter set, it is recommended for only 1-2 children.

Best Newborn Photographer in Toledo Ohio
For the 6th year now, Sweet Bloom Photography has been named one of The Best Newborn Photographers in Toledo Ohio!
I am so excited to receive this award yet again. It means so much! This is my 11th year specializing in newborn photography, that’s so hard to believe! I am really proud of how far I’ve come and how much time & effort I have put into perfecting my newborn photography skills. I have taken several workshops from some of the most respected instructors in the industry and learned how to achieve all of those adorable little poses in the safest way possible. I can proudly say that I have been trained by the best of the best and I take the safety of your newborn very seriously.
While I’m here, I wanted to share a couple photos from a recent newborn session!
Sylvania Ohio Newborn Photographer
Look at those sweet newborn smiles this sweet baby boy gave us at his newborn photo session! We did a mix of deep, bold, moody colors and bright, light & airy colors - it’s fun to do both! This session was a Swaddled session, meaning all poses were done wrapped (no unwrapped or naked poses!). These newborn sessions are great for those that just want a quick session to document their sweet newborn baby. You get to pick one prop (such as a bucket, bowl, basket, bed, etc) and one colored backdrop option - this mama chose a bucket and a navy blue fabric backdrop. I really wanted to do an olive green setup, so I threw in one extra setup just for fun! Swaddled sessions are of just baby only, however, I do love incorporating the parents hands for a “family” shot.
My newborn photography studio is located in Sylvania Ohio. I have clients from all over Ohio and Michigan, including Toledo, Bowling Green, Findlay, Perrysburg, Ann Arbor, and Detroit. I have over 11 years of experience working with newborns and take safety very seriously!
Perrysburg Ohio Newborn photographer
Hayden was an absolute dream for her newborn session! I don’t think she made a peep the entire time - that almost never happens! Because she did so great, we were able to really get a good variety of different poses & props.
Newborn sessions are done when baby is between 5-21 days old - that sleepy, sweet, milk drunk phase goes by SO fast! Since we don’t usually know exactly when your little one will arrive, I hold space on my calendar for around the time of your due date. Once baby is here, then we will schedule a date for you to come into my home photography studio for the session. My home studio is located in Sylvania, Ohio - I have clients that travel to me from all over Ohio and Michigan, such as Toledo, Perrysburg, Bowling Green, Ottawa Hills, Findlay, Ann Arbor, Detroit, and more! Everything needed for the newborn photos is provided for you! My client closet is filled with the cutest headbands & flower crowns, adorable bonnets & hats, cozy wraps, a rainbow of fabric backdrop options, and a large assortment of props, such as baskets, bowls, crates, beds, boho and more! You can show up and I will take care of the rest!
Your newborn session should be booked while still in the 2nd trimester. I only accept a limited number of due dates each month, so I definitely suggest getting on my calendar as soon as possible. I have over 10 years experience working with newborns - you baby is always in safe hands while at my studio! I have been trained to properly execute all of those sweet little poses in the safest way possible.
Toledo Ohio Cake Smash Photo Session
Cake smashes are the perfect way to celebrate your baby’s 1st birthday!
Cake Smash photography sessions can be held either in my Sylvania Ohio home studio or outdoors at one of my favorite locations in the greater Toledo area. While the cake is provided by you/the client, I provide pretty much everything else to have a super adorable cake smash! I can provide outfits, headbands & flower crowns, and other decor items such as flowers, simple balloons, cake platters, etc. If you have a very specific idea in mind, such as a character theme, you are more than welcome to bring those types of decor items to be included! I always recommend avoiding chocolate cake/icing because it can photograph a bit yucky looking. You can go as simple or over the top as you want with the cake! A simple white cake works perfectly or you can go all out with a custom cake — my personal favorite is the “naked cake”, so cute!
We will work together to come up with an overall look/feel/theme to the cake smash. I absolutely love styling sessions! So definitely feel free to tell me anything you have in mind…or some clients just want me to handle the entire thing and decorate it completely with my own ideas in mind. All you have to do is show up with your birthday baby and a cake and I can take care of the rest!
I have recently started offering an add-on to cake smashes - the “Smash and Splash”! After your little one is finished smashing their cake, they can have a little splash in the tub to clean up! It is sooo much fun and I have yet to meet a baby that didn’t absolutely LOVE the tub. We can do either a bubble bath or a milk bath, it’s your choice!
Because my calendar tends to book up about 2 months in advance, I do recommend booking your session well in advance. I can only accept a certain number of sessions each month and weekend dates tend to go very fast. I typically have a lot more availability on weekdays, however, I do still limit those as well.
