Joanna was so great at capturing my 1 year old’s milestone session. She spent so much time customizing the session and made sure it was exactly how we imagined it. Her studio is so warm and inviting and she made my sweet, shy girl feel right at home! Everything is provided, so you just show up with your baby and she does the rest! Highly recommend for your One Year Cake Smash Photographer in Columbus!
One Year Milestone
We recently had the opportunity to work with Joanna. What a beautiful experience! Joanna was so friendly, kind, and had such a calming presence. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed with the care and handling of our daughter, all of which was done with such ease, tenderness, and patience. Our daughter was calm and relaxed with Joanna throughout the entire session. The scenes, props, and colors for our session were displayed as we entered the studio. They were absolutely stunning! Add our baby to them, let Joanna do her thing, and it was magical! Joanna really brings each moment to life while capturing it all flawlessly! We LOVE every single photo and are OBSESSED!

We had a wonderful experience with Joanna! She did an absolutely amazing job capturing our newborn daughter — the photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier. Our family photo also came out perfect and will be cherished for years to come.
She was incredibly accommodating to our requests and handled our baby with such care and patience. The entire session felt calm and stress-free — our little one was relaxed the whole time, which really speaks to her experience and gentle approach.
We are so grateful for her work and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and compassionate newborn photographer!

I found Joanna through a referral to have photos of our newborn captured at 2 weeks old. My partner and I was very happy with our experience and would recommend to anyone needing photos. Joanna was very kind and professional leading up to our photo session. Her studio was very welcoming with all the props and colors you can choose from and had a nice relaxing vibe. Most photo studios are chaotic and I was at ease to know her studio was the opposite. Joanna and her assistant made us feel relaxed during our session which was such a relief as a new mom and we could not be happier with our photos. Just go ahead and book the session if you already read this far. 😊

We used Joanna for our newborn photos and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her! We wanted stages newborn photos and her gallery is a great example of the quality of work she can deliver. From the initial phone consult, to communication prior to my due date, and actual photo shoot day, she was kind, quick to communicate (via email, phone, and text). Our photo shoot day was as seamless as possible. She coordinated someone to come in for hair and makeup (at a cost). Her at home studio is set up for success (had TV, snacks, and toys which entertained my toddler). Safety is a priority and she had an assistant available in helping with the newborn poses. I felt my newborn was in very experienced and capable hands. And lastly, the quality of photos was superb!

We had an amazing experience with Joanna for my maternity shoot! She made me feel so comfortable and truly captured this special time with elegance and warmth. Her attention to detail and creativity shone through in every shot. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—natural, intimate, and full of love. I’ll treasure them forever!
If you’re looking for someone to capture your maternity moments, I highly recommend Joanna Photography. She’s simply the best!

I was searching all over the place for a maternity photographer in Columbus and not to mention i was kind of last minute... the one person to get back with with me was Joanna Andres !!!! She was such a pleasure to be around, super helpful and supportive the whole time during the shoot ! She has a great personality and will walk/talk you throughout the entire thing. I highly recommend getting with her if considering pictures ☺️
Maternity
Joanna was incredibly professional and easy to work with. She was more than willing to accommodate all of our requests including shooting our maternity photos at the quarry. My husband and I were thrilled with the photos - clearly a very skilled photographer! The newborn shoot was also amazing. Shooting in her basement was cozy and relaxing. She did a wonderful job with our baby and we are so thankful for her expertise. Highly recommend!

Joanna is fantastic! She did my daughter’s first birthday photo shoot. As we know, little one’s have a mind of their own and sometimes don’t cooperate. Joanna was very patient and kind. She allowed my 1 year old to warm up. Her studio is very inviting and she makes it so easy. She provides the backgrounds, smash cake and outfits. We just showed up and all was taken care of. Her and her assistant are incredibly professional as well as easy to work with. Highly recommend Joanna to capture your child’s special moments!

Joanna was very organized and welcoming for our 1 year milestone photo shoot! I didn’t have to think about a cake, outfits, or set up, which took a huge amount of stress off my plate with twins! I just described my vision. She brought it to life and had the perfect set up! She captured the cutest photos, I couldn’t have asked for better results, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Joanna is a dream photographer. Our previous experience with other photographers was not great. Often time with other photographers, it was obvious the kids were uncomfortable. With Joanna, her studio is just great. It’s enclosed, quiet and warm. The area is impeccably clean. She really connects with our kids and it shows in the photos.

This was exactly what i wanted for my babies 1st birthday shoot. The custom backdrop exceeded my expectations and it was so nice to just show up and have everything else taken care of. There are beautiful outfits to choose from and the whole thing was a special experience I’ll always remember. Wholeheartedly recommend.
