3 month old Preemie | California Newborn Photographer

10.25.2025

This post is ironically long overdue as this handsome little guy was born early! He came in for his newborn photoshoot at 3 months old, but as a preemie he was still very much in the newborn phase. I loved the vision his momma had for his photoshoot and I’m so excited to finally showcase his newborn photos!

A Gentle, Baby-Led Approach

As a newborn photographer, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many sweet families and their beautiful babies—but there’s something extra special about photographing preemies. These tiny warriors have already shown incredible strength and resilience in their first weeks of life.

When babies arrive earlier than expected, their newborn photoshoot usually happens a bit later than planned and that’s perfectly okay! For this sweet little guy’s preemie newborn photoshoot, I kept the session simple and timeless.

When to Schedule a Preemie Newborn Photoshoot

If your baby arrived early, you can still absolutely plan a newborn photography session whenever you and your baby are ready — as soon as your baby is home and thriving.

Book Your Preemie’s Newborn Session

Whether your baby arrived early or right on time, I’d love to help you preserve these fleeting newborn moments. My home studio is located in Menifee where I serve families throughout the Temecula Valley and the Inland Empire and surrounding areas.

Wesley’s Preemie Newborn Photos

I had the pleasure of meeting this cute family during their firstborn’s newborn session, and again for his first birthday photoshoot. I was thrilled when they reached out for their second baby boy’s newborn photos!
Sweet baby Wesley arrived a couple of months early and spent some time in the NICU. Thankfully, he was right on track for his newborn photos when he visited just a week before his actual due date. During our session, he managed to sneak in plenty of adorable smiles!
Capturing preemie photos is always special for me. These sessions not only celebrate the unique journey of these little ones but also provide families with cherished memories during a time that can be both challenging and joyful. Each smile from baby W reminded me of the resilience and strength preemies have in their early moments of life!

Asher | Newborn Preemie Photographer

04.20.2024

As a newborn photographer, I’ve had the privilege of working with preemies to overdue babies and everything in between, from the tiniest 4 pound little ones and even a whopping 11 pounder! There is something extra special about photographing premature babies like little Asher. I was so glad his momma reached out to me from Murrieta when she was looking for a newborn preemie photographer.

Preemies like Asher are little fighters from the moment they enter this world. Asher made his early arrival at just 33 weeks and spent his first month in the NICU. At the time of his newborn session, he was a little over a month old, but still hadn’t even reached his due date! This tiny guy was the epitome of newborn sweetness. He still instinctively curled up as newborns often do, mimicking how they would curl up in their cozy womb.

If you’re expecting a new baby in the Menifee area, I would love to be the one to capture their first newborn portraits. Preemies, older newborns, and babies of every size are always welcome in my studio. Reach out today to get on my calendar – those first newborn days are so fleeting!
