Your newborn session is thoughtfully planned from beginning to end so you can simply arrive and enjoy the experience. I’ll guide you through timing, wardrobe and preparation, provide everything needed for baby in the studio, and include sibling and parent portraits if you’d like. After your session, we’ll meet for a personal reveal and ordering appointment where I’ll help you select your favorite photographs and design artwork for your home.
Parent + sibling portraits are always welcome.

COURTNEY
Marianne was very responsive to our questions and was very helpful leading up to our appointment for newborn portraits. We instantly felt comfortable in her studio and very happy with all the extra care she took handling our newborn with special needs. Our photos are stunning and we absolutely love them. We are so appreciative of her experience and expertise!
love notes
My private studio is located in Chadwick Beach, near Lavallette in Ocean County, New Jersey, and is designed to make your newborn session as easy and comfortable as possible.
Wraps, newborn outfits, props and accessories are provided, and I’ll guide you through wardrobe planning for the rest of the family. Parent and sibling portraits are always welcome.
Studio newborn sessions are typically scheduled on weekday mornings by appointment, with optional professional hair and makeup available in-studio.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR BABY, READY FOR YOU
With experience photographing more than 4,000 babies, I use gentle, safety-led posing throughout every newborn session. Imagery by Marianne is fully insured.
YOUR BABY’S SAFETY + COMFORT ALWAYS COME FIRST
Your experience doesn’t end with a gallery of images and a list of decisions to make on your own. At your reveal and ordering appointment, I’ll help you select the photographs you love and design custom albums, framed wall art and keepsakes that fit your home and family. Digital images are included with qualifying heirloom products, giving you something beautiful to display and something convenient to share.
Your $300 booking fee reserves your baby’s session and includes your planning consultation, wardrobe guidance, access to studio props and accessories, the photography session, and your personal reveal and ordering appointment approximately two weeks later.
Photographs and products are purchased separately at your ordering appointment.
Your baby’s safety and comfort guide every part of the session. I’ve photographed more than 4,000 babies and use gentle, safety-led posing and handling throughout. Sessions are never rushed and include plenty of time for feeding, changing, soothing and snuggling.
Approximately two weeks after your session, we’ll meet virtually or in person for your personal reveal and ordering appointment. You’ll see your photographs for the first time, choose the images you love, and receive guidance selecting digital images, albums, wall art and keepsakes for your family.
No. My studio is stocked with newborn wraps, outfits, blankets, props and accessories. Select wardrobe options are also available for mothers, and I’ll help coordinate clothing and colors during your planning consultation.
Yes. Your session may include baby alone, siblings, each parent and your immediate family. I’ll help plan the combinations that feel most meaningful to you.
Sessions take place in my private Ocean County studio in Chadwick Beach, near Lavallette. Newborn sessions are typically scheduled on weekday mornings, when babies are often most settled.
I recommend reserving your session during pregnancy. I accept a limited number of due dates each month so I can stay flexible when babies arrive early or late. Once your baby is born, contact me by the day you’re discharged from the hospital so we can finalize your session date.
Newborn sessions begin with a $300 booking fee. Photographs and products are purchased separately at your reveal and ordering appointment, with portrait collections beginning at $995.
