What I Do-Kansas City Newborn Baby Photographer

Welcome to the AMP Family!

Welcome to Anna Marie Photography. My cozy Blue Springs studio is designed for families who want timeless, luxury-quality portraits without the stress. I specialize in newborn photography, baby milestone sessions, and first birthday cake smashes, with a warm, comfortable experience for both parents and little ones. From the moment you walk in, you can relax knowing every detail is taken care of.

Newborn Photography in Kansas City

A newborn session with me is calm, cozy, and completely baby-led. I take the time to learn your style preferences through a pre-session questionnaire, where you can request colors and let me know about anything special you might be bringing to your newborn portraits.

When you arrive, we’ll begin with family and sibling portraits. Afterward, I gently guide your baby through swaddled poses, props, and classic newborn setups. Sessions typically last 2–3 hours to allow for soothing and feeding breaks—never rushed, never forced.

Parents can relax in the parent room with snacks, drinks, and streaming TV. And everyone always brings along some comfy clothes to change into after their portion of the session so they can relax. Many even take a nap while I work with their baby! Yes, it’s that laid back. I’m basically like the most experienced babysitter you will ever have.

Baby Milestone & Sitter Sessions

From their first smiles to sitting up on their own, these sessions are a perfect way to remember your baby’s milestones. I work with parents to coordinate backdrops and sets to complement your baby’s outfits.

Sessions are one hour and usually include 3–4 styled setups, depending on your baby’s energy and comfort. Afterward, you’ll view an unedited gallery at my studio, select your favorites, and I’ll hand-edit every chosen image.

Cake Smash Sessions – First Birthday Photography

Your baby’s first birthday is worth celebrating in style! My cake smash sessions are fully customized and stress-free—I provide the set design, outfit, cake, and even a bubble bath splash afterward.

We begin with traditional portraits in a favorite outfits from home, then move to the themed smash set, and finish with a fun bath to capture sweet, candid smiles. Parents love how easy this process is—just show up with your baby and I’ll take care of the rest.

Family Photography

While my focus is newborns and babies, I also photograph families. I shoot studio family sessions throughout the year and I include them in every newborn session. These sessions are more posed and focus on connection.  I shoot outdoors in the spring and again in the fall. These images are relaxed, natural, and capture your family’s energy.  I always shoot a combination of posed and candid photos and yes, every child will be photographed individually.

Whether you’re dreaming of timeless newborn portraits, updating your family photos, or celebrating a milestone like a first birthday, I would love to capture these moments for you. My studio is located in Blue Springs, and I photograph families, babies, and children throughout the Kansas City area.  Every session is designed to be relaxed, natural, and full of connection, so you’ll walk away with images that truly tell your family’s story.
