Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most tender and unforgettable milestones. It’s a season overflowing with emotion. Joy and a love deeper than you ever imagined possible. Those first days are filled with tiny, fleeting details: the soft peach fuzz on their shoulders, the delicate curl of their fingers and toes, the way their chest rises and falls as they sleep soundly against your heart. There’s a quiet magic in the way they stretch, yawn, and settle perfectly into your arms as if they’ve always belonged there.
These moments pass faster than most parents ever expect. In the blink of an eye, they’re growing, changing, and discovering the world around them. That’s why finding the right newborn photographer isn’t just about booking a session; it’s about preserving a feeling. It’s about freezing time in the most beautiful, honest way possible, so that years from now, you can look back and remember exactly how small they once were, and how big your love has always been.
As a Cleveland newborn photographer, I help families capture these early memories with timeless, heartfelt images. My goal is to create photos that not only look beautiful now, but also feel even more meaningful years down the road. The kind you’ll proudly pass down as heirlooms.
Why choose me as your Newborn Photographer in Cleveland?
Choosing a photographer close to home brings peace of mind during such a tender season. Whether you’re delivering at one of Cleveland’s hospitals or settled in nearby communities like Strongsville, Medina, or Akron, having a trusted photographer nearby makes the process simple and stress-free.
For many new parents, just leaving the house in those first couple of weeks can feel overwhelming. That’s why I offer both cozy studio sessions and relaxed in-home sessions throughout the Cleveland, Akron, and Wooster areas. My approach is designed to let you thoroughly enjoy the experience while I take care of the details — swaddling, posing, soothing, and creating a calm atmosphere where your family feels cared for.
Client Experience
Booking a newborn session with me is designed to be stress-free and enjoyable. From the moment you book, I’ll walk you through every step. You’ll receive my comprehensive Newborn Session Guide, which includes everything you need to know. From how to prepare for your session to styling tips and what to expect on the day. I’m here to hold your hand through the process, ensuring you’re confident and comfortable at every stage.
On the day of the session, whether in your home or in my Medina studio, I focus on creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere. I offer a beautiful selection of newborn outfits, wraps, props, and headbands. Whether you love soft neutrals or a pop of color, I have options to suit your style. I take my time with every baby, rocking, swaddling, and soothing them so they feel safe and comfortable. Siblings are included at their own pace, making the session a family experience, not just a newborn shoot. At my Medina studio I have a sitting area stocked with water, snacks, children’s books, and toys to help your family be as comfortable as possible during the session. You’re also welcome to browse the studio and see samples of the heirloom-quality products available to display your portraits at home.
After your session I will give you a timeline of what to expect. Once your images are ready (typically 1-2 weeks later), you’ll receive a beautifully edited online gallery. From there, you can choose your portrait package at your own pace. I’m always available to help guide you through image selection and product choices, so you end up with artwork you truly love. From start to finish, I aim to make the experience seamless, memorable, and completely personal.
I specialize in capturing the little details and fleeting moments: the tiny toes, soft peach fuzz, gentle yawns, and the bond between siblings. Every photo is crafted to reflect the love and connection unique to your family.

Each session is designed to be timeless and heartfelt, giving you images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
What Clients Are Saying
“We have worked with Danielle twice, for family photos in our home and newborn photos at her studio. She made both sessions so incredibly easy; she made my kids and my husband comfortable in front of the camera, was quick to switch up anything that wasn’t working, and had so many great ideas for poses that felt natural for our family. I appreciate the time she took to make our sessions special and the photos we have because of them are ones I’ll treasure forever! I couldn’t have been happier with how they turned out. I’ve tried quite a few photographers for family photos and Danielle is by far my favorite!” – Renee
“Hands down the best photographer experience we’ve ever had. Danielle is a true professional with an incredible eye for detail. She did both our maternity and newborn sessions—and absolutely crushed both. For our maternity shoot, she not only made my wife and me feel completely comfortable, but she also welcomed our two giant mastiffs like they were part of the family. The results were stunning—photos we’ll treasure forever. The newborn session was just as amazing. Danielle was beyond attentive, listened to all of our ideas, and brought them to life perfectly. Her patience, creativity, and experience really shine through in every shot. She captured our growing family most authentically and beautifully possible. If you’re looking for someone who actually gets it—the emotion, the moment, the memory—Danielle is it. Couldn’t recommend her more”. – Kyle
