The sweetest family welcomed their 7th baby!

February 18, 2021

Family & newborn photos are always an adventure that I’m so lucky to be a part of! This gorgeous little babe belongs to one of my favorite families and a good friend of mine. I first met them just before they welcomed their fourth baby…I can’t believe they have seven now, and they make it look easy! Photographing a family of nine may sound tough, but it was a breeze! All of their kiddos are so sweet, well-behaved, and beautiful!

I was so excited to get to photograph this sweet family’s second baby boy after working with them for their first son’s first year milestones. It was fun to see big brother as an almost-two-year-old, and his baby bro was SO alert and aware of my camera! I love getting eye contact in newborn photos!

I’m not sure if these adorable boys are identical, but they sure looked like it! I love being a newborn photographer, and it’s truly double the fun to be a newborn twin photographer.

Newborn & sibling photos can be a challenge, but that’s also what makes them the most rewarding! In the case of Jovi & Knox, they were both incredibly sweet and so easy to photograph. I got to photograph Knox (Jovi’s big brother) almost 4 years ago, and it was so fun to get to see him again! He was “all grown up” and SO well behaved! Enjoy beautiful little Jovi and her perfect cheeks…she is so adorable!

Best time for newborn photos {Beautiful Ava}

August 8, 2020

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…

Lawson has the best squishy smiles & chubby cheeks!

Being a newborn photographer is the BEST, especially when I get to work with cuties like Lawson. He has the cutest smiles, chubbiest cheeks, and adorable pouty lips! I think he set a record for the most sleepy newborn smiles I’ve ever photographed. Newborn photos are extra fun with such a squishy sweet boy like him!

How to find a newborn photographer

So you’re having a baby…congratulations! You may wonder: should I hire a newborn photographer? When should I hire a newborn photographer? How and where can I find a newborn photographer? A lot of these questions and answers can be found in my Frequently Asked Questions, and I am always happy to chat if you’d like to reach out and contact me to ask any further questions.

There are many things to consider, including:

Budget: You can find newborn photographers in pretty much any budget, from a very low price point to thousands of dollars. This is a personal choice, so look around to find a photographer who fits your preferences.
Style: It’s so important to look around and find a photographer that matches the style you love for your little one’s photoshoot. Your baby is a work of art, and your photographer wants you to be happy with the end results! Most photographers have their portfolio displayed online in galleries to display their work. Do you prefer light and airy? Dark and moody? Lifestyle? My style is light, airy, classic, and timeless — so reach out if you’d like to chat about booking your baby’s session with me!
Location: Do you want to travel to your photographer’s newborn studio? How far are you willing to travel, or would you like to find someone close by? Would you prefer to find a photographer who will travel to your home? A good rule of thumb is to google your location + “newborn photographer” or “newborn photographers near me”.
Products: Would you like digital photos? Prints? Albums? Find out what your potential photographers’ offer and the costs involved.
Experience: Your baby’s safety should be of the utmost importance, so find out what your photographer’s experience with newborns is to make sure they understand how to keep your baby safe during their photoshoot.

So where should you look? The internet is full of ideas, from Google, to Facebook, Instagram, and even Tik Tok. Ask your family and friends for recommendations. I hope you’ll find the right photographer for you! If you’re looking for a newborn baby photographer in the Menifee, California area — I would love to chat!
