Capture the sweet, fleeting moments of your newborn’s early days with one of my thoughtfully designed photography packages. Whether you're looking for a simple session with just a few beautiful images or a full experience that includes family and sibling poses, I offer a package that fits your needs.

 

Newborn sessions are calm, baby-led, and softly guided - so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

 

All sessions include high-resolution digital images (sent via Dropbox) and an online proofing gallery, where you can select your favorites from the comfort of your home. After receiving your gallery, you'll also have the option to purchase premium products such as fine art prints, heirloom albums, and gallery-wrapped canvases.

 

Newborn Sessions are typically done between 5-18 days old, and are held in my Carmel Mountain Ranch, San Diego home studio Monday-Saturday.

Most families book during their second trimester to guarantee availability.

 

The session fee is $100 and is due at booking to reserve your spot. The remaining balance is due on the day of your session.

If you have any questions or are ready to book, I’d love to hear from you. Contact me HERE for availability

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

My home photography studio is located in Carmel Mountain Ranch- San Diego, CA.

How long does a newborn session last?

The average newborn photography session typically lasts around 1-3 hours. Should your baby need to take a break for feedings or for extra cuddles, then a session can go as long as 4 hours. Sessions begin at 10am, M-F. Please inquire if needing a weekend session.

What is the best age to photograph a newborn?

I prefer to photograph newborns between 5 -18 days old when the baby is still super sleepy and squishy. But, it's never too late for beautiful pictures of your baby.

I have other children, can he/she be included in some of the photos with my newborn?

Absolutely! I love capturing the special bond between your newborn and their siblings. Both parents and siblings are welcome to be part of the session. The Classic Newborn Session includes the option to add sibling and family portraits for an additional cost, while the Deluxe Newborn Session already includes parent, sibling, and full family poses. Please note: sessions are limited to immediate family only. Must inquire in advance for extended family options.

How far in advance should I book?

The sooner the better to ensure I have spots available around your due date. I do often have last minute spots available though so please just contact me.

How does it work with booking a newborn session?

I basically reserve your due date (with a $100 deposit) and that guarantees you a spot around when your baby is born. I only reserve a certain amount of due dates a month to ensure I have enough spaces available.

Do I need to bring any props or accessories to the newborn session?

No, I provide everything. I have a huge selection of bonnets, headbands, wraps, and props for the session. The only thing you need to bring is your beautiful baby, a pacifier and milk.
