Vintage Airplane 1st Birthday Photoshoot

Flying into one year with style! This handsome little guy is celebrating his first birthday today, and I loved capturing his vintage airplane 1st birthday photoshoot. His momma brought the cutest airplane rocker and aviation props.

The birthday boy was beyond adorable as he explored his cake. Cake smash sessions like this one are a fantastic way to celebrate your baby’s milestone while creating fun, playful, and timeless portraits you’ll treasure forever.

A cake smash photoshoot is more than just messy fun — it’s an opportunity to capture your baby’s expressions and curiosity. Adding a themed setup, like this vintage airplane, makes the session even more memorable and gives your photos a unique, personalized touch.

If your baby is turning one, a cake smash session is a fun and memorable way to celebrate and create keepsakes for your family to always treasure.

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.

Unicorn Baby | Firefighter Newborn Photoshoot

09.25.2025

In newborn photography, the term “unicorn baby” is a nickname photographers sometimes use to describe a baby who is exceptionally easy to work with.

A “unicorn baby” typically:

Sleeps soundly and deeply through most of the session
Easily transitions between poses without fussing
Rarely cries or startles
Is naturally curled up and flexible, making posing smooth
Might even give a few sweet smiles or expressions on cue

The idea is that, just like a unicorn, this kind of baby feels magical and rare—since most newborns will have at least a few fussy or alert moments during a session (which is completely normal).

This beautiful little one was an absolute DREAM for her mini newborn photoshoot. I also loved including a very personal touch—her daddy’s firefighter helmet. We complemented the firefighter photos with some traditional newborn portraits as well to highlight her natural beauty.

These early days are fleeting, and incorporating such a meaningful family detail made this session even more memorable. One day, I hope this little girl will look back at her newborn photos and see not only how tiny she once was but also how loved she has always been.

I’d love to help you create images that tell your story! Contact me to book your baby’s photoshoot and let’s capture the details that mean the most to your family.

Absolutely Beautiful Baby Girl’s Newborn Photoshoot

09.24.2025

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!

Strawberry blonde 6 month old beauty | SoCal Baby Photoshoot

09.23.2025

Time flies, and it’s incredible to see how much babies change in just a few months! This beautiful baby girl recently came in for her 6 month milestone photoshoot. When I first met her for her newborn photos, she had gorgeous dark red locks, and now those rich tones have softened into a beautiful strawberry blonde. One thing is for sure — she always has the most stunning hair, and she is absolutely adorable!

At six months, babies are at such a fun stage—sitting up, exploring their world, and showing off their personalities. This little one was a little shy for her 6 month photoshoot, but I did get to see some quick flashes of her darling smile!

If you’re watching your little one change before your eyes, a 6 month milestone session is the perfect way to freeze these precious moments in time. Book a session today and let’s celebrate every stage of your little one’s babyhood!
