Bay Area Newborn & Baby Photography
From their first days to their first steps.
Babies change quickly. Sleepy newborn stretches become first smiles, belly laughs, sitting up, exploring, and eventually those wobbly first steps.
I photograph newborns and babies throughout their first year, capturing the little details, growing personalities, and connection with the people who love them.
Every stage has something worth remembering.
You don't have to photograph every milestone, but your baby's first year gives you plenty of reasons to pick up the camera.
Newborn
Sleepy stretches, curled-up legs, tiny fingers, wispy hair, and first photographs together.
Around 3 months
First smiles, tummy time, more eye contact, and the beginning of their personality.
Around 6 months
Sitting, grabbing toes, baby rolls, big expressions, and lots of interaction.
Around 9 months
Crawling, exploring, pulling up, and becoming much harder to keep in one place.
Around 1 year
Standing, first steps, belly laughs, family portraits, and an optional birthday or cake-smash session.
A little look at babyhood
Sleepy snuggles. Tiny details. Big personalities. Belly laughs. Take a look through some of the newborns, babies, and families I've photographed.
We want a session that fits your baby
For newborns, I love photographing those first days right at home. There’s no packing up half the nursery or worrying about getting everyone out the door. We can slow down, take breaks, and let your baby set the pace.
As babies get older, we have more options. We can stay cozy at home or head outside for a session filled with movement, exploring, and play.
Wherever we photograph, your baby gets to be a baby:
-
For an in-home newborn session, we can photograph the nursery you spent months getting ready, the chair where you rock them, and the couch where those early-morning cuddles happen.
-
For an outdoor baby session, we can let them sit in the grass, hold your hands, explore, laugh, and show off that personality that's appearing more every day.
Have questions about timing, what to wear, or what happens if your baby just isn’t feeling photos that day? Take a peek at the FAQs.
The setting may change. The goal doesn't: to remember who they are right now.
What to expect
Tell me about your baby
Send me a message and tell me a little about your family and what you're hoping to remember.
-

Who you'd like included

Anything you already know you'd love photographed
We'll make a plan
I'll help you figure out the details so you don't have to show up wondering what happens next.
We'll plan:
-
Date and location
-
What everyone will wear
-
Who will be photographed
-
Any meaningful details you'd like included
-
What works best for your baby's age and routine
And no, your home does not need to look like it belongs in a magazine.
We follow their lead
When session day arrives, nobody needs to be on their best behavior. I'll give you direction so you don't have to figure out what to do in front of the camera, but we'll leave plenty of room for your baby to be a baby. We can stop for bottles, nursing, diapers, snacks, snuggles, or a reset whenever we need to.
You get to keep this version of them
After your session, I'll prep your session for a viewing session and schedule time for us to review them together. You'll selection how many you want to purchase and I'll carefully edit your photographs and deliver them to you using an online gallery link.
Then you get to print them, share them, put them on your walls, and pull them out years from now when it's hard to believe they were ever this small.
INVESTMENT
Your session includes planning before we meet, gentle direction throughout your session, professionally edited photographs, and a private online gallery where you can view and download your digital images.
