Every newborn & family photoshoot is special, but this one was extra special. My son’s high school (now college) sweetheart sent her sister’s family my way to capture their new baby boy’s photos a couple years ago, and now they’ve welcomed a new baby girl! She is absolutely adorable, and a perfect addition to their beautiful family.
Welcome baby number three for this beautiful family: the cutest baby girl!! I first met them earlier this year for adorable big sister’s 4th birthday photos. I was so thrilled when they booked again for their baby girl’s newborn photos. One of my many favorite things about their session was the sweet sister’s bond that was already so evident!

Sharing this session is long overdue, but I couldn’t miss it because it was so special—a newborn photoshoot for their sweet baby boy combined with his big sister’s 5th birthday portraits. I was extra excited for this session after meeting their beautiful family last year for big sister’s 4th birthday photos!
When families welcome a new baby, it’s also a big moment for siblings. This proud big sister was turning five, and it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate her milestone alongside her baby brother’s first portraits. I loved that their brother in the middle was so extra sweet with his baby brother. It was so precious to see the new bond between them.
Combining sessions is a wonderful way to capture both occasions in one sitting, creating a gallery full of meaningful images you’ll treasure for years to come. For big sister’s 5th birthday photos, we made sure she had her own time in the spotlight. Five is such a fun age!
These kinds of sessions go beyond just newborn photography. They capture the growing connections in your family—how siblings welcome the newest member, and how each child’s milestones weave together. In this case, the gallery told a beautiful story of new beginnings and growing up, side by side.
This post is looooong overdue (I think she’s over 3 months old now), but I had to finally share! I just about fell over when I saw this little beauty’s gorgeous red hair—truly a showstopper from the very first moment! She was a dream to photograph and absolutely beautiful. It’s sessions like hers that remind me why I love capturing newborn photos so much—each little one is completely unique!
Booking Newborn Photos: What You Need to Know
The first few weeks with a new baby go by in a blur—and it’s such a special moment in time to capture before it slips away.
The best time to book your newborn session is before your baby arrives—ideally during your early third trimester. This ensures you have a spot on my calendar, usually within the first 5-14 days after birth, when babies are sleepiest and most easily posed, making it easier to capture those peaceful, curled-up portraits everyone loves.
If you’re expecting or have recently welcomed a new baby, now is the perfect time to get in touch!
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!
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.
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.
There’s something so special about meeting families who have just welcomed a new little one. This post is long overdue, but worth the wait. This little guy’s dad is a firefighter, so I got to incorporate his gear into the session. To add icing on the cake, I also got to capture the sweetest sibling photos. If big sister looks familiar, it’s because I got to capture her 1st birthday photos a couple years ago. She was so cooperative which isn’t usually the case with toddlers! To further the deja vu, I’ve also been so lucky to photograph his cousins’ newborn photos (their daddy is also a firefighter).
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…
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.
