Maternity & Milestones
From Maternity to Children's Portrait Sessions
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 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!
Sessions are fully customizable per each client, sessions can be Stylized in our studio in downtown GR or a Lifestyle Newborn Session in the comfort of your home.

The Year of Wonder
Premium Milestone Collection Maternity to First Birthday
Your story begins long before your baby is in your arms, and these first moments will pass faster than you could ever imagine. The Year of Wonder is an exclusive, luxury milestone experience, thoughtfully designed to capture every stage of your baby’s first year—transforming fleeting moments into timeless, heirloom-quality memories.
The journey begins with a maternity session, honoring the quiet strength, radiant beauty, and intimate connection of this season as you await your little one. From there, we capture each precious milestone—newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and one year—preserving not only how they grow, but the profound joy, tenderness, and love that fills every moment.
As the first year comes full circle, the one-year session celebrates everything your child has become. For families who wish to mark this milestone with extra personality, a delightful cake-smash option adds playful, joyful moments to the experience.
Every image is carefully crafted, artfully captured, and designed to live beyond the fleeting digital moment. The Year of Wonder Premium Collection culminates in a luxury heirloom album, a timeless treasure that will allow you to relive the wonder, the emotion, and the love of your baby’s first year—again and again, for generations to come.

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!!

Behind the Scenes
Add in a Cute Cake Smash!
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.
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."
