Welcome to the World | Newborn Girl Photoshoot

Welcome to the world, baby girl! She’s already a couple months old as I’m finally getting around to highlighting her session, but here we go! This sweet little girl’s newborn photoshoot was nothing short of dreamy. She gave me such a good mix of sleepy shots, awake portraits, and sweet little smiles. Newborn sessions are some of my favorites! It’s always such an honor to help families preserve these first fleeting days, when everything is brand new. I had a blast meeting this cute family and their two little girls. I have no doubt they’ll be besties for life!

Newborn Photos with 3 Generations

Getting to capture newborn photos with 3 generations is so special! This cute family brought maternal grandparents and their two little boys for their second son’s newborn photoshoot. Welcoming a new baby is a momentous occasion, and one of the best ways to preserve these early memories is through a newborn photoshoot. These photos not only celebrate the new arrival, but also capture the bond between generations and the excitement of a growing family.

Pretty in Purple | Menifee Newborn Photographer

This little one pulled off every setup and was extra pretty in purple! She had major FOMO and fought sleep so hard, but that just allowed for lots of eye contact and some extra sweet newborn portraits.

2 Month Photos

It was so fun to see this little cutie again for her 2 month photos! She was still so teeny tiny and so expressive (just like her newborn photoshoot). She reminded me just how special it is to photograph babies at any age during their first year.

While many families book newborn photos in the first few weeks, it’s never too late to capture these precious moments. At 2 months, babies are often more alert, starting to smile, and already showing their personality. It’s such a fun stage to document!

Why Any Time Is the Right Time

Whether your baby is 2 weeks, 2 months, or 12 months—every stage brings something unique. From sleepy newborn cuddles to tummy time, smiles, and first steps, these milestones pass quickly. There’s no “wrong” time to schedule photos during that first year—just the perfect time for your baby.

So if you missed newborn photos or are just now ready to book, don’t worry—there’s still so much magic to capture. Reach out any time!

9 months in, 9 months out | Baby Milestone Photos

Can we just take a moment to talk about how special 9 month milestone sessions are? My most booked sessions are 1st birthday photoshoots, followed closely by child and newborn sessions—but 9 months out? It’s such a special age that deserves its own celebration!

Think about it: babies spend 9 months growing in the womb, so celebrating 9 months out is a beautiful full-circle moment. It’s that sweet in-between phase where their little personalities are really shining. They’re sitting, crawling, waving, babbling—and it’s all just too cute for words!

This gorgeous baby girl has been in front of my camera since she was a newborn, and getting to see her now—waving, crawling, and saying “hi” and “buh-bye”—was the cutest thing ever. She’s clearly trying her best to keep up with her four adoring older siblings, who were more than happy to jump in for some sibling shots.

If you’re thinking about booking photos for your little one, don’t skip the 9 month milestone. These are the moments that go by way too fast—and I promise, you’ll be so glad you documented them.

Vintage 1st Birthday

I’m finally getting a chance to highlight this sweet boy’s first birthday photoshoot! His momma brought some vintage 1st birthday outfits and we started off with some family photos and wrapped up the session with a cake smash. I loved that he kept throwing hands up like he was cheering for himself—he clearly knew we were celebrating him!

1st Birthday Donuts

This little dude’s mama came prepared with a custom birthday banner, his dad’s baby blanket, and some of his dad’s motorcycle gear. She also brought some 1st birthday donuts as an alternative to a cake smash. I love when families bring personal touches to make their little one’s 1st birthday photos that much more special and unique to them.

And of course, the icing on the cake (or in this case…donuts!) was capturing the cutest portraits of this happy, growing boy.

Halfway to One!

A halfway to one photoshoot for this little guy! Actually he’s about 75% on the way to one now, as I’m always behind on posting, but better late than never!

From Newborn to One | First Birthday Cake Smash Session

It felt like just yesterday I was photographing this sweet baby boy’s newborn session, and again at six months—and before I knew it he and his parents were back to celebrate his first birthday with a cake smash session!

It’s always such an honor to document these milestones for families, and watching little ones grow from tiny newborns into curious, expressive toddlers is something I never take for granted. Enjoy some highlights from his 1st birthday photoshoot!
