Newborn session on the sand at Newport Beach, Orange County
I’ll never get over how lucky we are in Orange County to be able to shoot on the beach all year round! This was a nice change to the usual newborn session at home. Not every Mama is ready for this adventure but I'm so glad this family was!
Unlike traditional posed studio sessions, lifestyle newborn photography focuses on connection and storytelling leaving room for the silly moments that inevitably comes along with working with young kids. Whether we’re at your home or at a beautiful Orange County beach at sunset, I try my hardest to make your session relaxed and baby-led. If baby needs to be fed we can pause or I can focus on older siblings running around and being their usual energetic selves!
I understand how to use the environment to create soft, flattering images without harsh flash or heavy props. These sessions are ideal for families who want their photos to feel natural, warm, and timeless.
A very special session at a very magical beach!
So much twirling, running, giggling, jumping and flying… it was almost impossible to edit this one down to 32 pictures! The joy just beams out of the photos!
An in home session with a leaf blower and a pup!
We packed a lot into this hour long session! The beauty of being at home for your photos is that you can let the kids take the lead. When these kiddos started getting antsy we headed out for a walk with the dog and then came back in for a little musical concert in the kitchen!
A mini portrait session at the park.
I’ve been photographing the Moy family since big brother was a squishy little bub barely able to sit on his own. After years of photo sessions including a maternity, newborn, parties and an extended family session including grandparents, I look forward to their sessions the same way I look forward to catching up with old friends. I say it all the time but one of my favorite things about this job is watching kids grow up!
Family Portraits at the beach!
Another sweet session with two wriggly cutie pies at my favorite beach!
An in home newborn session with a very excited big sister!
Big sister kept this session very lively and full of giggles! She even knew how to make baby brother smile too! It was the perfect example of letting the kids be kids. In between the chaos there are always inevitably moments of calm and I’ll be ready to capture those before the toddler tornado takes off again!!
Baby brother on the way.
There is something so special about maternity portraits when there is an older sibling there to love up on Mama and the baby on the way.
This session is full of so many sweet moments, and that happy little blondie... she melts me!
