Meet Cody and Syndi, a local couple who always knew they wanted to be parents. Read the emotional tale of their infertility journey, starting as a couple creating a lifetime of memories to the ultimate IVF success story, complete with newborn photos. By sharing the ups and downs (along with what worked for them), the couple hopes to inspire other couples with a similar story.
As a newborn and maternity photographer in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, I have been honored to join in celebrating life for countless growing families through photography. For some families, their new baby is a welcomed surprise, while others need a little help and perseverance. Unfortunately, an estimated 1 in 8 couples struggles with infertility in the United States. I've been an ally and confidant for more than ten years, listening as couples share their surrogacy, IUI and IVF stories. Thankfully, 90% of infertility cases can be resolved with science. But then, there are those miracle cases where God steps in with a different plan. This is the story of Waylon, complete with newborn photos.
Newborn photography isn't just about capturing the fleeting details of new life. Newborn photography is a celebration of life itself. Whether your bundle of joy came to you naturally and seemingly effortlessly, or you needed a little (or a lot) of help conceiving, your baby is a gift, and your experience is powerful. This is one family's IVF journey:
When you bring your newborn home, the first few days may feel long and tiresome, but as you look ahead, the years will be short. If you’re looking for a Michigan newborn photographer, I’m here to help you freeze those first initial newborn moments (between feedings and diaper changes), so you can cherish them forever. The best time to bring them to the newborn photography studio is 5-12 days old – so it’s important that you plan and book ahead.

Their dedication to newborn photography safety should also be considered, and here is why:
In 2009, Shane and Michelle began their fertility journey of trying to conceive a child and build their dream family. They had some initial trouble and were still unable to get pregnant after the first few months of trying. The couple “researched” what they could on the internet to help increase their odds – but they were still unsuccessful.
You've excitedly waited for nine months to hold your little one in your arms. Now that they're here, you feel like you could watch them all day. If you're anything like me, you just stare at them while they sleep, trying to memorize every detail. Newborn photography helps you hold onto those memories longer, but hiring a newborn videographer allows you to take it one step further, allowing you to relive these fleeting moments for years to come.
