Erin Massie Photography

Welcome to our studio, where we specialize in capturing the fleeting moments of newborns through fine art photography. Our style is clean, classic, and timeless, ensuring that the images we create for you will never go out of style. We are a Grand Rapids newborn photographer, and we are excited to help you preserve your family's history in beautiful portraits that can be cherished for generations.

As a newborn photographer, we understand the importance of capturing those first few days of your baby's life. We know that these moments are fleeting, and that before you know it, your newborn will be starting school, learning to drive, or walking across the stage to accept a diploma. That's why we are committed to capturing your family's history in portraits that will last a lifetime. Our photographs are of the highest quality, and we use archival materials to ensure that your images will stand the test of time.

Our Services

We offer a variety of services to meet the needs of our clients. Our newborn photography sessions are designed to be stress-free and endearing, and we work closely with our clients to plan a session that meets their expectations. We specialize in "white studio" style newborn photography, which means that you won't find a lot of distracting bright colors, props, or unnatural filter tones in our photos. Instead, you'll see clean, timeless images that focus on your baby's unique features.

In addition to newborn photography, we also offer milestone and family photography sessions. These sessions are designed to capture the growth and development of your child, from their first birthday to their high school graduation. We work closely with our clients to plan sessions that are meaningful and memorable, and we are committed to creating photographs that will be cherished for years to come.

Our Session Process

Our session process is designed to be easy and stress-free. After deciding to schedule a session, we'll send you a booking proposal where you'll choose your package, sign the contract, and pay the retainer fee. Once the proposal is completed, your session will be officially added to our schedule.

We'll then start the fun process of planning for your session. Depending on your session type, this may include questionnaires, welcome guides, or prep guides. We'll keep you informed and involved in the entire process to ensure that your expectations are met.

On the day of your session, you can expect a stress-free and enjoyable experience. We'll have everything planned out in advance, and we'll work with you to create beautiful photographs that you'll love.

Shortly after your session, you'll receive your proofing gallery. This is where you'll choose your favorites from lightly-edited, watermarked photos. If you love more than the number of images included in your package, you'll have the option to purchase additional images.

Next, we'll meticulously hand edit your chosen favorites to include in your final gallery. You'll receive a link to a new gallery where you'll be able to download your fine art images.

Preparing for Your Session

When preparing for your newborn photography session, it's important to choose a photographer that you feel comfortable with. We recommend meeting with your photographer in advance to discuss your expectations and to get a feel for their style and personality.

When choosing a newborn photographer, look for someone who specializes in newborn photography and has experience working with newborns. You'll also want to choose someone who uses high-quality equipment and has a clean, classic, and timeless style.

It's also important to prepare for your newborn photography session by choosing the right clothing and props. We recommend choosing simple, classic clothing that won't distract from your baby's features. We also recommend bringing any special blankets or props that you'd like to include in your photographs.

Your Photos as Fine Art

Your photos deserve to be prominently and proudly displayed around your home! We offer unique, high-quality canvas and wood products for you to proudly display as wall art in your home. Our products are of the highest quality, and we use archival materials to ensure that your images will stand the test of time.
