Canyon Hills newborn photographer - Emily Menzie Photography

I had so much fun with this baby girl’s newborn photoshoot! She is absolutely beautiful and such a natural in front of the camera.

Newborn photography is all about preserving those fleeting early days, when babies are still so tiny and new. In just a matter of weeks, they grow and change so quickly, making these first portraits such a meaningful keepsake.

If you’re expecting, now is the perfect time to plan your newborn photoshoot. Sessions are best scheduled within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are still fresh, sleepy, and extra snuggly. I would love to help you create heartfelt, timeless images of your little one during this precious stage. Contact me today to reserve your newborn session!

Weighing in at just over 5 pounds, I loved capturing little Oakley’s tiny newborn photos. At just two weeks old, she was incredibly alert and seemed to have major FOMO, not wanting to miss a moment. Her parents opted for my Mini Newborn session, a choice that fits perfectly with the new options I’ve recently added to my booking site:

Newborn Session Options

Clients can select from three newborn session options tailored to accommodate various preferences, and ensure that every family can find the perfect fit for their newborn photography needs:

Full Newborn Session: This comprehensive session takes place in my home studio in Menifee and lasts about 2-3 hours. It offers multiple setups and poses, personalized to your preferences, including colors and props. Family, parent, and sibling photos can be included for no extra cost.
Mini Newborn Session: A short and sweet session lasting up to 1 hour, focusing solely on the baby. This option is perfect for those who want quick yet beautiful photos of their newborn.
Lifestyle Newborn Session: This session lasts up to 1 hour and takes place in the comfort of your own home, any time within the first 8 weeks of your baby’s life (between 2 days to 2 weeks old is ideal). It is a beautiful way to document those precious bonding moments with your new family member. Parents, siblings and pets are welcome and encouraged to join in the photos!
