Tiny newborn on her daddy’s firefighter jacket

February 10, 2025

If this tiny newborn on her daddy’s firefighter jacket looks familiar, it’s because I got to capture the same shot at her big sister’s newborn photoshoot just under 2 years ago. Getting to watch my little newborn clients grow and welcome a new sibling is one of my absolute favorite things about what I do! These beautiful sisters were both total dreams for their sweet photoshoot.

Incorporating personal touches into sessions makes them so much more meaningful, and it was an added privilege to honor a firefighter especially after the terrible fires California has experienced this year.

Enjoy some highlights of these adorable sisters…

Halfway to One! Celebrating 6 Months with a Photoshoot

February 8, 2025

This little beauty is halfway to one! This is the third time I’ve been so lucky to photograph her since her newborn and 4 month photos. She is so beautiful!

Why 6 Month Baby Photos Are Worth It

6 months is such an important milestone to capture your baby’s rapid development and unique personality. At this stage of life, babies have become more interactive, mobile, and expressive.

There are so many reasons why you should consider booking a 6-month photo session:

1. Capturing a fleeting stage: Babyhood goes by quickly, just 12 short months. Multiple photo sessions during the first year document growth and provide lasting memories.

2. Emergence of personality: At six months, your baby’s unique personality is shining through in full force. Capturing it is priceless.

3. Gummy grins and giggles: Six-month-olds often have adorable gummy smiles, giggles, and a fascination with their toes. It’s a great time to document those chubby thighs and wrists before they disappear as your baby becomes more mobile. While not all babies sit unsupported at 6 months, it’s a great portrait pose when they can sit upright.

4. Developmental milestones: At this age, babies are often sitting up, rolling over, and may be close to crawling. These milestones make for amazing photos, and at this age, babies are not yet so active that they’re constantly on the move, making them easier to photograph.

A 6-month photo session is an investment in capturing a precious and fleeting time in your baby’s life. You’ll never regret having beautiful images to look back on!

The Greatest Showman 1st Birthday Photoshoot

Baby boy’s newborn photos

January 30, 2025

After previously photographing this wonderful family for their second daughter’s newborn session and then her 1st birthday photoshoot, I was thrilled to document the newest addition to their family – an adorable baby boy who arrived just before Christmas. Scroll down to view their handsome baby boy’s newborn photos! I made sure to get some portraits of the girls for their January birthdays too.

It’s always so fun to see a family’s dynamic grow and change after welcoming a new little one. They were obviously so excited to have a baby boy after their two adorable girls, and dad brought some special props for his son. This little guy is as cute as can be and so loved!

Welcoming a newborn is a magical time filled with fleeting moments that pass in the blink of an eye. Hiring a newborn photographer is a special way to preserve these precious early days, ensuring you have beautiful memories to cherish for a lifetime. The newborn stage is incredibly short, as babies change constantly as they grow. I offer multiple options for newborn, baby, and child photos, and my goal is to create timeless images that capture your child’s unique personality and milestones – from tiny newborn details to playful toddler expressions and everything in between.
