In a recent list of the 50 Best Newborn Photographers by State from Bored Panda, Annmarie Walker Photography is featured as the best of Michigan. This comes as no surprise to me, as I’ve admired and enjoyed Annmarie’s beautiful work for years.
When two of my cousins had their daughters in 2012, they did newborn sessions with Annmarie, and I fell in love with her photography. The early weeks in a newborn’s life are so precious and fleeting, and Annmarie preserves that time in her gorgeous photos. I knew that whenever I had a baby, I would want to schedule a session with her.
We did just that in 2013 when our daughter Stella was born. In fact, shortly after I found out I was pregnant and due in March, I contacted Annmarie right away to get on her calendar.
Annmarie has a studio in the lower level of her lovely home in Linden, Michigan. The hour-long drive from the Lansing area was completely worth it. Annmarie instantly makes you feel at home, and takes her time; there’s no pressure, and no rush when you’re in her studio.
Annmarie has also had a career as a registered nurse, and her nurturing temperament makes new parents relax and trust her immediately. She loves babies, and she loves what she does for a living. She also has a vast array of backdrops, props, wraps, and accessories for her photo setups.
Annmarie’s photos are pure art. It’s magical what she is able to do, and her attention to detail makes each pose a precious photo.
I feel very lucky that she has captured our family on film over the last five years. From newborn sessions of our girls to milestone photos of Stella, her work is featured prominently in our home on large printed canvases and framed photos.
If you’re looking for a newborn photographer in Michigan, or someone to capture photos of your children, I cannot recommend Annmarie Walker enough. She’s the best at what she does, and not just because I, or Bored Panda, say so.
I think the work can speak for itself.
