LIGHT, BRIGHT, AIRY IMAGES FOR FAMILIES
They say that life is measured in moments, and I believe that your most treasured moments should be remembered forever through classic timeless photography.
At Lillie Mae Photography, newborn and milestone sessions are thoughtfully guided, unhurried, and intentionally designed to feel calm, meaningful, and deeply personal.
The newborn days pass in a blur — tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, the quiet weight of your baby resting in your arms. These moments deserve to be remembered not just digitally, but tangibly, beautifully, and forever.
A , full-service portrait experience designed to preserve the fleeting beauty of your baby’s earliest days — and every meaningful milestone that follows.

THE NEWBORN PORTRAIT EXPERIENCe
From your very first inquiry to the final artwork in your hands, every detail is curated with care. Sessions are intentionally slow-paced, allowing time for soothing, feeding, and natural connection — never rushed, never overwhelming.
Sessions take place in my light-filled Lansing studio, where safety, comfort, and timeless design come together. With a carefully curated collection of wraps, backdrops, and heirloom-quality styling pieces, your baby is photographed naturally — never rushed, never forced.
This is more than a photo session — it’s an experience rooted in comfort, trust, and timeless artistry.

The First Year
Documented
thoughtfully
The newborn days are only the beginning. In the months that follow, your baby will sit, smile, crawl, stand, and discover the world in ways that feel impossible to forget — yet pass all too quickly.
Our milestone collections are designed for families who want more than a single moment captured. These collections allow you to document your baby’s first year with continuity, consistency, and ease — without having to plan each session from scratch.
From tiny toes to first steps, every session builds upon the last, creating a cohesive story that becomes more meaningful with time.
For families who value simplicity and legacy, milestone collections offer preferred scheduling, savings over individual sessions, and a seamless experience throughout your baby’s first year — all thoughtfully guided and beautifully curated.
Investment
All newborn collections include a fully guided studio experience in my light-filled Lansing studio, access to a curated newborn wardrobe and heirloom props, professional retouching, and a private online gallery where you can view, select, download, and print your high-resolution images with ease.
There are no hidden fees, no required minimum purchases, and no pressure — only a seamless, elevated experience designed to honor your baby’s earliest days beautifully and timelessly.
