Philadelphia Newborn Photographer
Lifestyle Newborn Photography
Families come to me for an in-home newborn photography experience that feels relaxed, supportive, and thoughtfully guided. My Philly and Main Line sessions are designed to meet you exactly where you are- these early days with a new baby and a lot on your plate.
I create honest newborn photographs that focus on closeness, comfort, and the early bonds forming in your home. I photograph newborn sessions throughout Philadelphia, the Main Line and Chester County.
Philadelphia Newborn Photography
Clients often tell me that their newborn session feels like an good friend stopping by to meet the baby.
I photograph families through the lens of a mother who is long past the newborn stage—but who knows exactly which details you’ll want to remember long after the sleepless nights.
Honest photographs to help us remember.
As a mother of three and a Philadelphia area newborn photographer for nearly two decades, I know how quickly these seasons pass—and how much effort it can feel like to even attempt newborn photos.
My sessions are guided with intention and designed for real families: babies who fuss, parents who worry, and moments that don’t need to be fully controlled to be meaningful. I focus on presence over perfection, creating images that reflect how your family actually shows up in this season—hunger cries, diaper changes, exhaustion, and all.

“ANNEMARIE MADE US FEEL comfortable AND confident THROUGHOUT OUR NEWBORN SESSION.”
She was so sweet with both our baby and dog, and made our home look amazing in the pictures- even when the lighting was not always ideal. We love all of our pictures!

MOTHERHOOD
DESERVES more than A SELFIE.
We mothers are so busy doing all the things for our families, and yet we’re often the ones missing from the photographic memories.
My hope is that these images will bring you back to this season of life and remind you how deeply present you were for your family- even on the messy, loud and imperfect days.
During your Philadelphia newborn photo session, my goal is to preserve something honest you can return to—especially on the days when motherhood felt heavy or unseen.
These images are for the version of you that comes later.
Relaxed (un)posed newborn photography for easy-going Philadelphia area families who value connection over perfection.
I believe the best newborn photographs feel lived-in – comfortable and familiar, like slipping into a favorite pair of jeans. Images rooted in connection rather than trends, and meant to be returned to for years to come.
My approach is gentle, thoughtful, and guided—so your family can settle in, be yourselves, and walk away with a gallery full of images that feel deeply meaningful.
I care more about documenting how this newborn stage feels than perfection.
My APPROACH
Relaxed Lifestyle Newborn Photography in Philadelphia
INTENTIONALLY GUIDED SESSIONS for EVERY SEASON OF FAMILY LIFE.
From pregnancy, to those early days at home, and into the rhythm of family life, I create honest photographs that help you remember who you were at every stage.
“I WAS a BIT NERVOUS DEALING WITH A NEWBORN, but ANNEMARIE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE PATIENT.”
Working with AnneMarie was an absolute pleasure! We did a family/newborn session and everything went seamlessly and we got all of the shots we were hoping for. I would highly recommend her for any family photo needs!

The EXPERIENCE
A Tailored approach
I'm known for my attention to detail and service. My sessions feel warm and lighthearted, with wardrobe and relaxed posing guidance to make things stress-free for families adjusting to newborn life.
Expert (un)posing
You don’t need to perform for my photos. I know just how to guide you into those frame-worthy, authentic connections that make you forget you're having pictures taken (even for hesitant spouses).
Digitals + fine art keepsakes
For those who procrastinate printing their photos like I do putting away the laundry, my complimentary keepsake design makes heirloom prints simple to enjoy, while still having those digitals we all want for our online memories.
“TRULY had the BEST EXPERIENCE HAVING ANNEMARIE CAPTURE MY NEWBORN PICTURES.”
She is not only incredibly professional and extremely talented but also just a wonderful person. She made us all (including my dog) feel so comfortable! Without hesitation, I would recommend her to anyone needing newborn/family pictures.

What's next?
Baby's FIRST YEAR, THOUGHTFULLY DOCUMENTED
Newborn sessions often mark the beginning of a season that moves faster than you ever expected.
For families who know they’ll want to remember more than the newborn days, the Baby’s First Year Collection offers a way to continue documenting your family as life settles, shifts, and grows this year.
The Baby’s First Year Collection includes:
+ Any three sessions during your baby’s first year (choose from maternity, newborn, and milestones of your choice)
+ Priority access to my calendar over the course of the year
+ Discounted collection pricing when sessions are reserved together
+ A cohesive set of images that is consistent across this important year
Why Families Choose This Option...
First of all...it makes life so much easier!
You don’t have to spend time searching for a photographer, starting fresh, worrying about how the editing will look.
We get to build familiarity over time, which allows each session to feel easier than the one before it, and the images to feel more personal.
If you’re already thinking ahead to how quickly this year will pass, the Baby’s First Year Collection allows you to plan once and be present for everything that follows.
I’m happy to talk through timing, availability, and whether this feels like the right fit for your family.
