Best Newborn Photographer Detroit Near Me

Brittney Lakos: I was so nervous to get photos done because I never have been photogenic but I instantly felt welcomed by Ania. She clearly knew what she was doing and made me feel comfortable and confident the entire time. It’s clear she cares about her work and her customers! Not to mention the turn around time was literally unbeatable. I’m so excited to work with her again in the future and if you’re reading this, look no further, seriously, she is the best.

Rochelle Rietow: Ania is hands down the best of the best. I honestly don’t even know where to begin…She is simply one of the very best professionals I have ever worked with - period!Her portfolio speaks for itself…but what you can’t see is her effort behind the lens. She gives every photoshoot 1000% of her passion, energy and attention. People ask how my baby is so happy in her photos…the answer… ANIA! She puts in the work! She gracefully combines charm, athleticism, photography skills and a lot of coordination…It sounds crazy, but book a baby shoot with her and you will see for yourself! If baby photography were an olympic sport she would easily win the gold :)… Literally no one can do what she does.My baby is turning one this week…and looking back on the past year, one of our best decisions was to be diligent about booking photoshoots with Ania at each and every milestone. I know these photos and the photo books she created for us will be something that we will cherish forever. (We did newborn photos, 5 month, 9 month, first Christmas and one year photos - I HIGHLY recommend this schedule - it perfectly captures baby’s stages.)I also did a maternity photoshoot and mommy and me photos with Ania…Even if you think you’re not the type to step in front of the camera…I really encourage you to do it! Ania is a true professional and she will do everything she can to make you feel comfortable and look great!!!Thank you Ania…I can’t wait to book our next shoot!

Millet Mello: My wife Sarah and I finally were able to bring into this world our beautiful daughter Zara Elizabeth. Of course a photo shoot was necessary and had the privilege to work with Ania at Lulu & Lula Photography. Could not be any happier with the beautiful work by Ania. She somehow made Zara look even more beautiful than she already is by taking the most perfect photos. Once in a lifetime experience when it comes to having your first child and it can be stressful process but Ania at Lulu & Lula Photography made sure our experience was completely stress free so we could enjoy the experience as much as we did! Will forever be our family photographer as long as she will takes us and recommended 100% to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their precious family moments! Thank you Ania for a lifetime of Zara new born memories through your work!

emily anderson: Ania was amazing! She is so incredibly sweet and her attention to detail is one of the many things about what sets her apart in this industry. I wasn’t very excited to do maternity photos but after shooting with her I wanted to book another shoot for the following week, it was so fun! Thank you so much, Ania! Can’t wait to see you again for baby pictures!

Rachel: Ania is a gem. We had so much fun working with her for our maternity shoot. She has such a warm and welcoming personality, you immediately feel at home and comfortable with her. She is clearly passionate about what she does, and makes the process easy and effortless for you. Portraits can be awkward. I am not a model, and have no experience, yet she makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful, it just allows your natural beauty to shine through. Our proofs came back so quickly, and her touch ups don't 'over edit' you. The end result is truly a work of art. I am glad we decided to do maternity photos, because these artful pieces are something we will be grateful for years and decades from now.

Rosemary Miketa: Service at its best!Ania from Lulu & Lula photography is one of the most talented photographers that we have ever come across. Her keen attention to detail was superior and her visual artistic eye helped to capture the memories of our son superbly. She was indeed professional in her direction to get the best shot and would not stop at anything to deliver a range of photogenic images to showcase her subject in the best lighting and poses. We loved this experience and would highly recommend her services and if you are reading this testimonial, you do not need to look any further! Ania is true professional in her field.

Carolina Giffin: We chose Ania to do my sons first birthday photoshoot and I am so happy with the way our photos turned out. She was very professional and knew exactly what to do to make my son smile. She was able to capture his sweet personality. Her studio had everything needed to make our time there enjoyable. We will be back for sure.

Ana Pomaville: Our experience was truly unforgettable and amazing. I would recommend lulu&lula one hundred times over. She was the sweetest ever and we absolutely loved our session!

Andrea Tory: Ania is the best photographer in Detroit, hands down! I've seen her for maternity photos and 6 month photos for both of my kids and her work is absolutely stunning. She gets the most AMAZING shots and makes everyone look just perfect. The wardrobe she has is also a bonus---the clothes are timeless and classy. She is extremely talented at what she does and I absolutely cherish the pictures she took of my family.

Ashley Mooney: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness

Katie Woods: Ania has photographed all the first year milestones for both my babies and it’s hard to put into words how appreciative I am for her capturing so many beautiful portraits of them! Her photos are beautiful and timeless and she is so so great to work with. She works magic with babies to get them to pose and smile. Her work is sprinkled all through our house and I will truly cherish the pictures forever! Thanks Ania!

Ashley Morel: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAnia was amazing! We just did photos of our third and she was so patient with our wild 2 year old and 9 year old. The gallery is absolutely stunning and as a busy mom I was so relieved to not have to worry about an outfit for me! Her studio is gorgeous. I highly recommend using her!

W D: Both Maternity and Newborn photo experiences were fantastic. We looked at many photographers before choosing, and the quality of work here was the best. It's not even the most expensive.We were also referred here by a friend and neighbor.I highly recommend Lulu & Lulu Photography!

Sara Stenz: I’ve had a few maternity/newborn sessions with Lulu and Lula photography and each time I am blown away! Ania is extremely talented and her passion is evident in the work that she does. Her studio is immaculate and she has a huge selection of beautiful outfits to choose from. If you are looking for a photographer who is responsive, friendly, and takes the time to listen to your wants and create your vision, look no further! So happy we get to cherish our timeless photos forever! Can’t wait for our next session!

Jason Payne: We cannot begin to thank Ania enough for the amazing maternity photos and then newborn session we had with her and our baby daughter!! The Lulu & Lula Photography studio is immaculate, and she has everything you need to capture the most beautiful photos! She has racks full of stylish clothes and accessories for both mom and babies, which is great because all you need to do is show up and she can take care of the rest. It is immediately clear that Ania loves working with babies, and she has the perfect temperament to help put them at ease.For our shoots, she took the time to walk us through what our vision was for the photos and what we hoped to capture. She then helped us with posing and styling, so that we also felt calm and at ease, which can sometimes be more difficult for the adults, if you are not always comfortable having your picture taken (like me).For our newborn session, our daughter was barely two weeks old, and she was kind of fussy when we arrived at the Lulu and Lula studio. Ania took her time to calm our daughter, which then made it possible for her to fall asleep and get the shots we wanted. At no time did we feel rushed...in fact, quite the opposite. You can tell she really cares about her clients, and she wants you to have stunning photos to last a lifetime.I am not usually one to go online and actually write a review, but we are so beyond happy with our whole experience with Lulu and Lula Photography, and with the gorgeous photos we now have of our newborn daughter, that I felt it would be remiss of me not to do so in this case!We highly recommend Ania at Lulu & Lula Photography, and we cannot wait to book more family photoshoots with her over the coming years! Thank you Ania!!

Sophie Makowski: Ania is absolutely fantastic! She took newborn photos of my twin boys. She also captured some wonderful family shots of my whole family (twins, 20 month old and husband). She was patient with my 20 month old daughter (even during her breakdowns) and was able to get some adorable pictures of her. She had a whole stunning wardrobe for me(mom) to choose from. I highly recommend her if you want an easy experience, stunning wardrobe, beautiful photos that come very quickly!

Allison Brennan: Wow! I am SO glad I choose Ania to shoot my maternity photos! From the studio, to the beautiful dresses, everything was perfect from start to finish. Ania makes you feel so beautiful and comfortable- not to mention she is just the sweetest person. I highly recommend all those new mamas out there to have Ania do your maternity photos. I’ve just seen a few sneak peeks of my pictures and am stillin awe of how beautiful they turned out. I can’t wait to use her again for future sessions! Thank you Ania!

Jenny Flanagan: Amazing photographer and studio!!! Our 6 month old loved her and did not want to leave. My husband is a photographer and is extremely impressed with Ania's professionalism, quality of photos and promptness!

Okeoma Mmeje: Amazing photos from professional photographer! Ania was patient, understanding, and very accommodating. She was a pleasure to work with and did not disappoint!

Chrissy Kaiser: My experience with Lulu and Lula was wonderful from the start. From the moment I walked in the door, Ania was so friendly and welcoming. She is amazing, so personable, warm and immediately made me feel at ease. She was attentive to every detail and knew just how to capture my personality. I loved how she had outfits at the studio to make finding beautiful maternity outfits easy. Lulu and Lula studio is gorgeous allowing for beautiful light images. The proofs and final images were delivered so quickly. I couldn't be more pleased with the results...making my job of picking favorites very difficult!!

Billnlori D: Amazing photographers! Definitely a return visit

Mashana Chuney: Alison and Doug are Awesome!!. They made my birthday photos shoot priceless

Glenda Grandy: Ally and Doug were fun and easy to work with. My daughter loved her senior photo shoot!Thank you for making her experience special!

Itsbillyd: Doug and Ally make you feel like a friend and family , Framily . Ally took the best photos I’ve ever seen! I would highly recommend them for all your photography needs!

Todd Gesund: Have always had great experiences when using Frameable Faces. The photo sessions as a family are comfortable and fun. Ally and Doug always have great ideas and suggestions to make our family pics memorable and lasting.

Claudia Sills: Ally & Doug make you feel completely at ease & make it fun AND the pics capture that sense so well - Pics came out out GREAT, too - they totally captured the fun the family was having & so we repeat every year - thank you Ally, Doug & Frameable Faces !

Kelly Collins: Doug and Ally of Frameable Faces make a photoshoot fun! I don't know about you, but I loathe having my picture taken. The Cohens will have you laughing and so relaxed you'll forget you're getting photographed. It is a little sad when the session is over. (Fortunately, Doug and Ally love meeting good people and are great at keeping friends.) Not only is the photography AMAZING, the variety of the ways to package your shoot is mind-blowing. From casual to elegant, they have what will suit your taste and needs. They take the time to learn about their client BEFORE the session so they have a customized strategy just for you. As you can tell, I can't recommend them highly enough. They are absolutely my go-to photography studio.

Erika Ruskin: Doug and Ally have photographed my family several times and each time have treated us like part of their family. Their work is incredible and the photographs we have from their sessions are beautiful and such special memories. We use Doug and Ally whenever we have photos taken professionally and will continue to do so...they are the best!

Jennifer Pantalleresco: Our family has used Frameable Faces photography on numerous occasions; including out on location. We have been very pleased each time. They take the time needed for each individual person and shot. The quality of the work and pictures received is incredible. Ally has a gift. She brings out the individual personality of each subject she photographs. We will not go anywhere else!!! The saying you get what you pay for is never truer than here. Well worth every penny for memories that last a lifetime.

Andrew Tobias: Doug and Ally are the best, we have done multiple sessions with our kids and it's fun, easy, professional and the quality is the amazing. I highly recommend them.

D Mer: I don't like leaving bad reviews, but we had such an unpleasant experience, and honestly, Alley is a terrible photographer. We have no idea how she makes a living doing this. We could have taken better shots with our phones. Her photos were completely washed out, poor quality images, no sense of composition and she doesn't even know how to crop or edit well. She literally had to be told not to cut the top of someone's head off, after doing so, when there was plenty of extra room on the bottom of the photo, just showing pant legs. And she charges a ridiculous amount of money. Please save your time and money and spare yourself a big headache... Use a different photographer.

Brian: Ally and Doug are absolutely awesome to work with! They got me into their studio the same day I called for an appointment, and the photo shoot was an absolute blast - fun, friendly, and professional. Thanks guys!

Abishek: 🐙squad is 🔥

Livin and Workin in Chicago with Sonia Figueroa: You will not be disappointed. Doug & Ally are the most authentic people you will ever meet. There client is always #1 and they treat you like you are family. I have seen them interact with there clients via social media periscope & snapchat. They have been in business for years, don't miss out on their awesome photography shots. I am in Chicago but if I am ever in their neck of the woods trust me I will be using them for any of my photography needs.

Adam Scarbrough: Awesome people who are passionate about what they do! Great experience!

Grace Simon: Amanda took our proposal photos in December. 4 months later, still no response or refund. We’ve tried contacting in every way, but have been completely ghosted.Very disappointing

Lisa Bartley: Amanda met us at Greenfield Village to take engagement photos on December 23. It was perfect. She sent 6 photos right away, and we were pleased. She took many more photos including family shots and unfortunately we have not seen those. It has been almost two months and she has not responded to any of our calls or texts. We are so disappointed.

Allison Stackpoole: Amanda has taken all of our sons professional pictures and we love them every time. We get compliments on them from friends and family constantly, too!She is great (and patient!) with kids and always gets our son to smile and capture his true character in photographs.Can't say enough great things!

Jennifer Covell: I am so happy I came across DE Photography!! I had scheduled a fall family session in 2013 and was so in love with the shots that I had to go ahead and book a Christmas Mini Session a few weeks later, with my kids in the beautiful hot choc stand display. Amanda has a true gift for working with kids - my daughter has always taken a long time to warm up to new people and generally this results in prof photos of her with a semi-scared/unsure smirk on her face. Within mins of first meeting her, Amanda had her smiling and being her usual playful self, which resulted in some really beautiful photos, that I will treasure forever! We actually live out of state now, but get back to Michigan at least once or twice a year to visit family, and I will be scheduling a visit with DE Photo while we are in town. Thanks Amanda!

KC Fleck: Melissa has captured beautiful photographs of my son since he was born. Literally. We did a newborn photo shoot with Melissa and then returned for his first birthday and cake-smash shoot and have had her shoot annual Christmas photos for the past 3 years. The photos are always amazing. She captures his joy and personality. She’s incredibly good at what she does. She is a baby whisperer. She also provides suggestions for clothing and styling prior to the shoots. 5 stars.

Tiffany Schwannecke: HIGHLY RECCOMEND!! We used Melissa for both our newborn and first birthday sessions. Melissa is very quick to communicate and not only do we love every single picture but Melissa makes the process so smooth. She is wonderful with the little babes! Also one of the fastest turn around times at getting galleries back! Just the very best all the way around!

Elyse Guilfoyle: Had a wonderful experience with Melissa at our studio for a photo shoot with our newborn twins. She is truly a baby whisperer, and was able to deliver the most angelic photographs! Melissa is kind, professional, and an expert in her field. Would highly recommend!

Abigail Issa: I can’t say enough positive things about Melissa’s work as we are very satisfied with all our photos! I highly recommend choosing Melissa to capture those beautiful moments! Melissa did an amazing job on our family Christmas photos and our sons 1 year photo shoot. We look forward to using Melissa again for more upcoming photo milestones in the future!

Tiffany Diggs: I highly recommend Melissa Anne Photography! She did an amazing job with my sons newborn pictures. Very professional, caring & kind with her clients. As a first time mom I was very nervous letting someone else handle my child and she was very gentle with my son and took her time. I absolutely love the pictures, they are something I’ll treasure forever. Booking with her was worth every penny. I will definitely be going back for more photoshoots in the future.

Melissa Lakin: I loved Melissa’s style of photography. She has an amazing eye. Our session went very smooth and I felt very comfortable in the stunning dresses she provided. I also felt very prepared for the session as she gave many resources and advice well in advance. We are excited to see her again for our newborn session and other future family sessions.

maneesha jothi: Positive:Professionalism

abig abig: We have known Melissa for 7 years now and she probably did 8 to 10 photoshoots for us. She never disappoints, her patience and professionalism are incredible! Highly recommended!!

Joanna Tadajewski: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,Value

Devin Ward: My wife and I would 1000% recommend Melissa Anne Photography and WILL book with her again. The gallery on Melissa's website speaks for itself, her photos are amazing! What really stood out to us though, was the thought and care she put in with all of her prep work and the way that she handled our newborn. Our session felt very personal and it was evident that she really cared about our son's comfort throughout. We were also impressed by how professional both Melissa and her assistant were, they were even able to get several super cute shots of our older children with the baby (never an easy task).We are so happy that we found Melissa, we got peace of mind and absolutely amazing photos that will hang on our walls the rest of our lives.

LaKeesha Sanders: Melissa is so awesome and sweet!

Ryan Kotlarz: Very kind and gentle to children. Always a great experience.

Heather Blake: Shannon has been capturing our family since we got engaged and most recently took our first child, our daughters, one year photos. She has absolutely the most calming presence. Our daughter has done 3 photoshoots with her now and every time she absolutely is comfortable with Shannon. Her work speaks for itself she is definitely an artist. Her editing style is beautiful. We always get our photos back so quickly. Our entire experience with Shannon is always so pleasant.

Steffanie Bulmer: Shannon was the sweetest and VERY accommodating with the unfortunate weather we’ve experienced! I can’t wait for our newborn session! Pictures turned out exactly as I was expecting, THE BEST! ☺️ UPDATE:JUST GOT OUR NEWBORN PHOTOS BACK AND TO SAY I’M IMPRESSED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! Shannon did a PHENOMENAL job ❤️ I will definitely be booking Shannon for future sessions! Highly recommend if you’re looking for GREAT pictures, someone patient, accommodating, polite, and easy to work with!! THANK YOU!

Emily Kramer: Shannon was so great to work with! She was very informative when it came to setting up a shoot, and flexible with scheduling when my baby came a little early. Her studio is adorable, so clean and had plenty for my older child to play with while she shot the baby. Shannon was patient and kind, and great with both my girls. I received a sneak peek and my gallery quickly. The images are a dream! I would definitely recommend Shannon.

Samantha: Shannon was great working with my newborn and our photos turned out amazing!
