Your Natural Beauty
It is a true miracle what your body can do! Capturing your natural beauty and the changes taking place during this time is so important. We want to help you capture everything, from glowing skin to a beautiful baby bump! Motherhood is such an amazing time in a woman's life that celebrates the beginning of a new family.
Setting the Mood
There are a variety of maternity photo ideas that we can help you with, including posing options and even props if you're looking for something unique. For example, many women love to use wraps or blankets to accent their bump, or they might choose to wear something special like a flowing dress. We always want to make sure that your photos reflect your style and personality.
What to Wear and Expect
The best way to capture your maternity photos is by wearing something comfortable and flattering. You don't need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe, but we do recommend avoiding tight clothing. A flowy dress or skirt is perfect, as well as a loose-fitting top. If you feel more comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt, that's fine too! Just make sure whatever you choose fits comfortably and makes you feel good.
Capturing your joy, excitement, and anticipation of your upcoming arrival is so important! We generally recommend scheduling your portrait session around the seventh or eighth-month mark. Scheduling too close to the ninth month means that babies can arrive unannounced, making it impossible to reschedule your maternity session.

A Special Subject
We know that babies don't always cooperate, and that's okay. Tiny newborns tug at our heartstrings and the birth of a child is the most magical thing ever. Having our newborn and maternity photographer expertly capture and preserve the tender innocence of your brand-new baby is a privilege.
Fleeting Moments
We understand that new parents have many needs and are very busy, especially in those first few days after the birth of a baby. However, one of the most rewarding things you could do as a parent is to bring your newborn into our studio for a portrait session. It is unbelievable how quickly newborns grow. Before you know it, your newborn is a toddler and then a child taking their first step onto the school bus. It feels like a few blinks, and your child is suddenly graduating high school.
Importance of Professional Maternity Photos
Maternity and newborn photography is a special niche that requires both skill and training. Our professional photographer will know how to safely pose and handle your baby while keeping them calm and comfortable. We also have the proper equipment and techniques to ensure that we do not miss a moment.
How to Dress Your Newborn
We recommend keeping it simple with comfortable clothes that won't restrict movement. Some parents even like to use thin, soft fabrics that they can easily adjust for the baby's comfort.
We recommend that parents also come prepared with the following:
- A blanket or two for baby to lie on
- A change of clothes (for you and the baby, in case of any accidents)
Props and Toys
We have a variety of props available for use during your session. However, we understand that some parents prefer to bring their own items with sentimental value. If you have any special requests, please let us know in advance so that we can be sure to accommodate you. It is very important to us that you and your baby are comfortable and able to relax during your session, so please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to make that happen.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Aj on Maternity and Newborn photography Michigan
We had such a great experience with Noreen Owens Photography. My daughter took part in the Who I Am project and it was amazing! During the shoot it was like I was looking at someone completely different than my daughter. Her smile, her laugh, her confidence were awesome! It made it very difficult to make a decision on the photos to include in our album. Noreen does a great job of bringing out the best in people, even the shy ones. This project is absolutely a necessity for our teens. It brings out their confidence, builds self esteem, and allows their personality to shine! Keep up the great work Noreen! Melissa and Kyla
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Stacey Klayo on Maternity and Newborn photography Michigan
What an amazing experience for us! Noreen and her staff were awesome. We felt comfortable and were so happy with the session. The Who I am session was just what our daughter needed after a rough year. Gave her a kick start back on the road to being herself. Noreen took beautiful photos of our daughter and made it so hard to choose from so many beautiful pictures. I knew it was going to be great because of the reviews, but it was even better than I expected!! Thank you so much for these memories

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Valerie Ringer on Maternity and Newborn photography Michigan
Noreen Owen Photography is professional and the work is of the highest quality. I had portraits done for my son's college graduation. My husband and I were included in some of the portraits. They turned out great and we will treasure them. Noreen was helpful as I picked out my final selections.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Maurine Lautzenheiser on Maternity and Newborn photography Michigan
Noreen takes pride in her work. She captured the essence and inner beauty of her subjects. Her work was positively evaluated by all we showed them too. Thanks Noreen
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Erin Kelley on Maternity and Newborn photography in Michigan
Best photographer I’ve ever been to! I went to noreen Owens Photography for both my executive portrait and our family portrait. Noreen and her team have a way of making the whole experience feel easy. That is saying a lot considering I wanted our family portrait to be outside with my daughter and I, our dog, two cats and one rabbit. Noreen has a gift for getting people to smile and interact very naturally, then capturing the perfect moment! Her team makes the rest of the process seamless and easy! The hardest part was picking out which pictures to keep Because so many were amazing!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Janice Vowell on Maternity and Newborn photography in Michigan
If you are looking to turn your loved ones into works of art, to capture a moment in time that you will treasure forever, come and give Noreen a visit! The photoshoot is a wonderful experience along with the time that she takes to go through your photos with you. You will not have a better experience anywhere else. If you are blessed to have the means to purchase something like this, it is worth the money.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Robert Bezotte on Maternity and Newborn photography in Michigan
We had the rare opportunity to have our entire family in from out of town for a family portrait. We had a great time with Noreen as we progressed through countless photos of our entire family. We had fun and laughed together with Noreen and her staff. This is the second time I've had the pleasure of working with Noreen Owen's photography. The first time was through the Sheriff's office. Noreen is always very professional and dedicated to the people she is working with. I would highly recommend Noreen Owen's photography. Thank you to Noreen and her staff for a great experience during a very special time for me and my family.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Mona Shand on Maternity and Newborn photography in Michigan
Noreen is a true artist! She captured my little dancer's spirit so beautifully and the entire experience of working with her was flawless. She truly cares so much about her craft, and about building self-esteem and creating a positive environment for those she photographs. We will cherish the beautiful memories she captured forever!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review by Erin Chambers on Maternity and Newborn photography in Michigan
My daughters and I had an amazing experience during our photo shoot with Noreen. She was professional and creative, and even took extra time to help me figure out what prints I wanted to order for my home. Definitely recommend!
