When should I get newborn photos taken
Ask any newborn photographer when you should have newborn pictures taken, and they’ll probably tell you somewhere within the first 2 weeks of baby being born. This might feel overwhelming – maybe your baby has already been born and you weren’t booked in with a…
Why should I get newborn photos taken
There is so much to worry about when having a baby. You have to keep yourself healthy for the good of your baby. You have to plan what you’re going to need, how you’re going to afford everything, who is going to take care of…
What I wish I’d known as a new mom
Hi there – I’m Sam. I’m a newborn photographer in Escanaba Michigan and have been called a baby whisperer many times. But when my own children were babies, I had no idea what I was doing. I’m not a new mom anymore, and I definitely…

Lainey, vibrant newborn session
Lainey has 2 older siblings who absolutely adore her. Especially her older sister – she was so good at holding and soothing Lainey, it almost made me wish I could see my daughter as an older sister. I try to create a cohesive gallery, so…
