Newborn session with big brother and sister.

A joy filled natural light in home newborn session with a big brother and sister who were all about snuggles with their new baby brother.

This in-home newborn portrait session was full of spirited joy! When you’re the youngest of three kids your newborn session is bound to include plenty of happy chaos. As the photographer of this happy chaos I always try to just go with the flow, grab the quiet moments when they land and keep shooting when the big kids start bouncing! That’s where the authentic smiles and love comes through. This gallery of lifestyle images was brimming with sweet moments and interactions between children and parents and baby and siblings.

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.
