Newborn Sessions
“A baby is something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years and in your heart till the day you die.” —Mary Mason.
Our Newborn Sessions
“There are places in the heart you don't even know exist until you love a child.” —Anne Lamott.
There is nothing like a newborn baby. Their smell, their sweet sleeping faces, their tiny fingers and toes...and they change so quickly from that newborn stage. Newborn sessions are the best when we capture the newborns within the first 10 days. Our sessions are scheduled for 90 min so that we have plenty of time to work on babies schedule. We can stop for feedings and changings and anytime they need to be snuggled.
We would love the honor of capturing this time and celebrating with you! We have welcomed three children of our own into this world and adore working with these tiny precious new humans who you have welcomed into this world!
We can do sessions both in our studio in downtown GR or in the comfort of your home. No Travel fee if located within the Greater Grand Rapids area.

"A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside...when a tiny heart beat is heard for the first time, and a playful kick reminds her she's never alone." -Anonymous

Our Clients Say
We just had our newborn photo shoot and Sarah and Aaron are so amazing. They were so patient and loving to our baby girl. This truly is their passion I feel like they are just as excited as my husband and I. Thank you so much for capturing such perfect memories!!

Children's Portraits
Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.
Your children are your everything. They are little bundles of endless energy, contagious joy and give you so many amazing memories to cherish forever. They also grow and change in a blink of an eye. Trust us, we know, we have two adult sons and our youngest is in high school! We adore working with littles, they are a blast to photograph (and they always want to see the pictures in the camera right away)!
We would love to capture those milestones and memorable moments from your children's first birthdays to their Senior Pictures!
Children's sessions are 30 min (no child or teen has an attention span longer than that) We dual shoot every session, so we capture a lot of photos in that time!
Capture your child in their own sessions as the years go by!
Behind the Scenes
1st Birthday Cake Smash Sessions
Your littles only turn one once! It's a milestone moment to capture in memories forever! Cake Smash Sessions are the latest fun way to celebrate and let your one year olds have fun while we capture their smiles!
We can do Cake Smash Sessions in studio all year round and on location during the warmer months in Michigan!
You supply the cake, outfits and any special things you want to remember that your child loved at this age, we provide the backgrounds and other props including the ONE letters and cake stand.
**One great idea, have the cake designed with fruit or cheerios on the outside, something your child is already familiar with so they will interact with the cake as this is probably the first time they have had any.
These sessions are 30 min and include 20 digital images, and we dual shoot all sessions.
Cake Smash Gallery
A smash cake is the perfect treat for celebrating your baby's first birthday. It's essentially a small cake that's low sugar and made with wholesome, baby-friendly ingredients that your one-year-old can enjoy by “smashing” with his or her hands (and face, of course!)

Our Clients Say
"Such an incredible experience to work with such a great duo. We were very lucky to have them do a newborn shoot right in our home only 4 days postpardum, it made for such a wonderful and easy experience. Super quick turn around on proofs and loved all of the creative and unique poses they came up with for our little one. We can not wait to work with them again. I can't say enough to express how happy we are to work with Crowned Creative Studio."
Rebekah N. Mother of 2 Chicago IL
