Maternity and Newborn Baby Portraits
Maternity and Newborn Baby Portraits
Dan Cleary of Cleary Creative Photography in Dayton Ohio creates beautiful maternity and newborn portraits for young family.
I am very fortunate to have so many wonderful clients who allow me to create beautiful works of art for their families. This African American couple asked me to create family portraits for them. They wanted maternity portraits before their son was born and then they brought him back in after one week for newborn baby portraits.
I am humbled that many families trust me with their family histories. I know that these maternity and newborn baby portraits will be part of the family for many years. This is one of the many things I love about my life as a professional photographer. I love working with families to create beautiful photography that they can display in their house. This couple also signed up for my year long baby plan.
The First Year Baby Portrait Plan is simple: a wonderful collection of your four or five favorite portraits to be taken at the stages of four weeks as a new born baby, three months when your baby is holding it’s head up and smiling, six months when they are sitting up and laughing, nine months when they are sanding up and a one year portrait to finish. Your child’s portrait collection will be delivered in a beautiful 10” by 20” portrait panel after the 12 month session. Look at the top of this page at girl’s and boy’s baby photo panel but it just doesn’t do it justice. You must see it to believe it!

Photography at Kenwood Retirement facility
For the past months I have been creating photographs at the Kenwood Retirement facility on Cincinnati, Ohio.
This project required me to take exterior, interior and people photographs. I really love working with people but there are times when I like working out the lighting on interior photographs. It takes skill and experience to be able to balance all the lights, the windows and rooms to create images that the client can use for all their needs.
My client used these photographs for printed pieces, billboards and even in videos that aired in TV commercials. I was very lucky that the day we did the exterior photographs there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, just blue skies. The retirement facility has a memory floor and they have found that a dog is a great help to the people who have started to loose their memory. The photograph of the nurse with the dog was a candid photography but it was one of the best out of all the images I created.
But a retirement facility is all about how they can help the elderly people on a daily basis, so many of the photographs included people. People in the pool exercising, people eating in one of the many dining areas or using the exercise room. Kenwood retirement facility even has juke boxes so the residents can have a little fun.
One of the good things about a project like this is I get to use all my creative skills as a certified professional photographer. I get to work with professionals who needs quality photographs for all their public relations and marketing needs. These photographs help Kenwood Retirement facility create a warm and inviting image to the general public.
