At Naomi Whitestone Photography, every session is created with intention, from the way your family is photographed to the artwork that eventually lives in your home.
Based in Old City Philadelphia, we photograph newborns, expectant mothers, and families throughout Philadelphia, the Main Line, Bucks County, Delaware County, and South Jersey.
Which Season Are You In?
Birth doula and fifth-generation fine artist turned newborn photographer on a mission to elevate your family portraits into the most meaningful art you'll ever own.
Baby teeth become gaps. Curls become ponytails. The child who once reached for you begins running ahead.
The season you're living now will become the one you wish you could step back into.
Your photographs aren't only about remembering what your children looked like. They're about remembering who they were, how it felt to be their parent, and the people you were becoming together.
Fine Art of Your Life
Photographs made to be lived with.
Your portraits shouldn't disappear into a camera roll. Choose from statement wall art, heirloom albums, and archival print collections, all designed to become part of your home and your family's story. Because what we display in our homes shapes how we think and who our children become.
Our light-filled Old City studio was designed for families like yours.
A calm, beautiful setting for newborn, maternity, and family photography, with a curated client wardrobe, professional hair and makeup, and everything we need to create a thoughtful portrait experience.
Families join us from throughout Philadelphia, the Main Line, Bucks County, Delaware County, South Jersey, and beyond.
Our Private Photography Studio in Old City Philadelphia
We begin by learning about your family, your vision, your home, and what you want these photographs to mean years from now.
Your wardrobe, styling, hair & makeup, and visual direction are thoughtfully planned before your session.
I'll guide you throughout the experience while leaving room for connection and your children's personalities to shine.
After your session, we'll design the photographs and artwork that belong in your home.
Your heirloom artwork and archival digital collections are custom designed during a private ordering appointment following your session with options starting at $475. Contact us to begin planning a portrait experience tailored to your vision.
Enjoy a fully guided portrait experience from planning through finished artwork.
Preserve every chapter of your family's story with a Baby's First Year or Family Archive Membership, designed to document milestones, traditions, and the changing seasons of family life.
A short & sweet portrait experience for the moments in between.
Your children will grow. Your home will change. This season will pass.
The heirlooms you create now will outlive it all.
We work with a limited number of families each year to ensure every family receives our full artistry and attention.
Our exhibition series are artistic projects created to honor the experiences that connect us — motherhood, love, identity, transformation, and legacy. Through carefully crafted portraiture, we create timeless artwork that celebrates the beauty found in real lives and real stories. Each project offers a limited opportunity to participate and have your story preserved as part of a curated collection. Discover the current exhibitions below and apply to be considered:
Motherhood changes us in countless ways, but beneath the roles we carry, the woman we were is still there. HER, STILL is an intimate fine-art portrait project celebrating the women behind the title of “Mom”—their bodies, femininity, strength, softness, and the parts of themselves they never want to lose.
