Luxury Portraiture
AKRON, OHIO maternity & Newborn photography
Our maternity photography sessions are designed to honor your pregnancy and the beautiful journey of bringing new life into the world. Once your baby arrives, our newborn photography sessions preserve those first tender days, from tiny details to sweet expressions, so you can always remember how small they once were.
You don’t need to be a model. We guide you through every pose, every detail, and every emotion so you look (and feel) like you stepped out of a magazine. Think you’re not photogenic? We’ll change your mind.
About Us
Luxury Maternity Portraits and Expert Newborn Photography in Northeast Ohio
Meet Amanda
Every time I see my work framed on a wall or resting on a mantel, I’m reminded of just how much of an honor this is.
Photography isn’t just my career—it’s my calling. I get to freeze moments that matter most, knowing these images will be part of someone’s home, their daily life, their story. The fact that families choose my art to live on their walls, to become part of their legacy… that’s something I’ll never take for granted.
I’m endlessly grateful to do what I love, to create something that outlives trends and screens, and to know these photographs will still be telling stories long after the moment has passed.
A Familiar Scenario...
Does this ring a bell?
“I’m looking for more than just a photo session, I want an unforgettable, meaningful experience.”
Celebrate the arrival of your little one with a professional newborn photography session in our Akron, Ohio, studio. We specialize in creating timeless portraits that capture the sweetness, love, and first moments of your baby’s life!
“I’ve been meaning to book a session, but time keeps slipping away.”
It’s easy for weeks to slip by while life gets busy, but these moments won’t wait. That’s why I make the process simple and stress-free. Don’t let procrastination steal these memories, let’s capture this chapter before it’s gone for good.
“I wish I could see myself as beautiful, but lately, it’s hard.”
You are more radiant and beautiful than you may realize, exactly as you are right now. My purpose is to reflect that back to you by capturing the quiet strength and wonder of this chapter in your life, so you can see just how remarkable you truly are.
“I never want to forget this moment.”
Some moments are too precious to fade with time. That’s why I don’t just capture them, I preserve them in stunning heirloom products designed to last for generations. Whether it’s a luxurious album, custom wall art, or fine prints, your memories will live on in tangible pieces your family can hold, share, and cherish forever.
