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.

"Waiting for you is the hardest,
most beautiful thing I️ have ever done."
- Author unknown
Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers - strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.
- Barbara Katz Rothman
Fresh48
"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."
- Winnie the Pooh
Newborn Babies
"Every child begins the world again."

The Baby Plan
"There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million."
- Walt Streightiff
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
