Baby J’s newborn session

I loved meeting baby J and his family for their newborn session, and I loved his spiky hair! It’s always extra fun when older kids get to welcome a new baby. Both of baby J’s parents are bartenders, so they brought some fun little props to make their session personalized and unique.

Oakley’s Tiny Newborn Photos | New Options Added to My Booking Site!

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!

Chidike’s In-Home Newborn Photos

I had the pleasure of capturing adorable Chidike’s in-home newborn photos in his family’s beautiful newly built house in Hemet, California. Chidike was just 7 days old at the time of his photoshoot, and he was absolutely perfect. While I primarily do most of my sessions in my home studio in Menifee, I also offer in-home sessions upon request, with additional travel fees depending on the distance.

The Convenience of In-Home Newborn Photography

One of the many benefits of offering in-home photography sessions is the convenience it provides for new parents. Families can enjoy the comfort and familiarity of their own home during the photoshoot. This can be especially helpful for families with other young children.

Preserving Precious Memories

Newborn photography is a cherished tradition that allows families to capture the fleeting moments of their little one’s earliest days. By offering both studio and in-home sessions, I strive to provide my clients with the flexibility and convenience they need to preserve these precious memories in a way that best suits their needs and preferences. If you’re expecting a little one and would like to schedule a newborn photography session, whether in my Menifee studio or in the comfort of your own home, I would be honored to work with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to discuss the details and start planning your perfect photoshoot.

D’Angelo 4 days new | Perris Newborn Photographer

Sweet little D’Angelo was just 4 days new at the time of his newborn photoshoot. As you might notice, there’s a certain pose in his gallery I don’t usually do because I normally do more baby-led posing, while this pose is a composite. His momma specifically requested it, and she knew how to assist me in capturing it safely, and I must say it turned out so adorable! I also loved the blues and greens his momma requested, which changed things up from my typical white and neutral backgrounds. The bold navy was an especially nice color for D’Angelo! His daddy was wearing a Dodgers jersey to the session and I knew it would be a favorite color for them. D’Angelo did so well and I laughed when he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me like “ok I’ve been really good, are you done yet?!”.

Beautiful Victoria | Family photos with a newborn

As I write this, I have “Victoria” by the Kinks stuck in my head, specifically the scene from How I Met Your Mother where Ted meets Victoria. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re missing out (I love that show and have watched it many times, with and without my kids and husband who also love it). Anyway, steering away from a complete tangent and moving on to beautiful little Victoria’s newborn photos! I loved meeting her beautiful new little family. I strongly recommend doing family photos with a newborn photoshoot. These are photos I hope my clients will always treasure. In every session, and with every newborn photography package, I have clients fill out a questionnaire to let me know what photos they are hoping for. This includes allowing to capture family photos with baby, mom and baby, dad and baby, and sibling and baby shots (if baby has a sibling, of course).

Is my baby too old for newborn photos? Older Newborn Session

“Older Newborn Session” is a bit contradictory because babies are brand new! While newborn photos are typically done under 2 weeks old, I’ve done newborn photos up to 8 weeks old or so. Beautiful Mía was 5 weeks old at the time of her session, and if you’ve wondered “is my baby too old for newborn photos?” Mía is here to show you that any age is the perfect age for a baby photoshoot! She is absolutely stunning. I had so much fun getting to photograph this beautiful baby girl! One of the best things about doing newborn photos a little later is getting to capture some sweet portraits, eye contact, and emerging personality.

Welcoming a new baby sister! Murrieta newborn photos

I got to photograph big sis as a newborn and oh my goodness, it was SO fun to see her at age 3! What a character. She is every bit as spunky as she is beautiful. Baby sister was equally beautiful…enjoy seeing gorgeous big sister welcome her new baby sister!

Best time for newborn photos {Beautiful Ava}

When is the best time for newborn photos? I’ve found that 5-10 days old is ideal, but if you’ve missed this window, contact me anyway! Babies under 2 weeks old tend to be more sleepy for photos, and their skin tends to be a little more calm. After birth, baby’s skin tends to break out, peel, or become red or jaundiced…but that’s ok! Experienced newborn photographers can work their editing magic to make your perfect baby’s skin look smoothe and perfect (unless you’d like to request having your baby’s skin left as is, of course).

Preemies often need a little more time before coming in for photos too. I’ve photographed newborns up to 8 weeks old, and although newborn photos under 2 weeks is recommended, it’s definitely not a deal-breaker.

Now on to showing off little Ava…what a beautiful baby! Her momma came with lots of fun ideas in mind for her newborn photos, and it was such a blast to get to capture them for her. And what a beautiful momma she is too! It’s always tough to come up with adequate words when the photos do a much better job to speak for themselves…
