Birth and Newborn Photography in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Capturing motherhood from the
very beginning
Whether it’s a natural birth, C-section, or NICU stay, I’ll be there. Not just as your photographer (and sometimes doula), but as a woman who’s lived it, too. From birth to newborn to family, you get the complete story.
Giving birth is a blur
You spend months planning for the big day— but when it arrives, it’s a whirlwind of contractions, IVs, emotions, and adrenaline.
And then suddenly… you’re home.
Feeding, changing, soothing. Rinse, repeat. The world keeps turning, but yours has narrowed to a 10-lb human and a couch.
You barely remember giving birth—and yet, this is the beginning of everything.
You want to remember more than just what they looked like.
You want to remember what this felt like.
The way your belly curves under your hand. The way the nursery smells like lavender and new paint.
The quiet, the chaos, the change.
That’s where I come in.
How you feelin’, Mama?
Hi, i'm Tiana! your BIRTH, Fresh 48, and newborn Photographer
You’ve been dustin’ shelves, taking your prenatals, and listening to Karen complain at work.
Life’s been pretty normal—until it hits you:
You’re about to have a baby.
So let me be the first to say it:
This messy, magical, about-to-meet-your-baby season deserves to be seen.
Not just the picture-perfect parts.
But you.
From the moment you hear them cry and the first tear slips down your cheek to the quiet 3 a.m. feedings when the whole house is asleep and it’s just the two of you…
This is your story, too.
Right here. Right now.
As you become somebody’s whole world.
"Meeting Tiana for the first time felt like meeting an old friend"
She is so warm and friendly that she immediately put me at ease.
I had a difficult birth, and she met me within the first 48 hours when I was still not feeling like myself.
She immediately sat me down and literally made me comfortable. She walked me and my baby through the session every step of the way.
We were so relaxed! And it shows in the photos Tiana created!!
Beautiful, authentic moments captured – she truly is an artist and master of her craft.
Can’t wait to schedule an in home session with her soon!
Welcome to motherhood
Birth photography
Captured wherever you give birth. This is the raw, powerful beginning.
Fresh 48 photography
Taken in the hospital within the first two days, so you’ll never forget how tiny their fingers were.
Newborn photography
Usually taken within the first 2 weeks—quiet, cozy, and full of sleepy snuggles.
In-home photography
Shot in your own space —yes, even if there are dishes in the sink—where I capture you falling in love in real time.
Birth Becomes You
Being featured in Birth Becomes You is such an honor. Black history is certainly apart of my life, my being, and my culture. I was feature along with some of the most amazing POC in the Birth and Motherhood Photographic industry. See more features!
“All those cliches, those things you hear about having a baby and motherhood—all of them are true. And all of them are the most beautiful things you will ever experience.” —Penelope Cruz"
Connection
We both know how incredibly deceitful time can be. The most valuable thing you can own right now, especially as time continues to past by, is a beautiful photograph that reminds you of when your life stood still for just a second. Does my work speak to you? I’d love to chat and learn all about you, your family, and your goals for your portrait session.
