Every story starts somewhere

—and here’s where we start to find yours.

This page is your peek inside the many ways I capture growing families—birth, newborn, fresh48, motherhood, milestones, and more.  Whether you're in the thick of newborn snuggles or preparing for the big day, here’s what birth and newborn photography in Michiana looks like, through the lens of Hartstein Photography.

Celebrating Motherhood

“Motherhood is a choice you make every day, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.”

- Donna Ball
