To ensure availability, I recommend booking your newborn session during your second or third trimester. I understand newborns arrive on their own schedule, so I'll tentatively schedule your session for two weeks post-due date. We will adjust the date once your little one arrives and you're both settled at home.

For that classic “newborn” sleepy look, I recommend scheduling your session when your baby is 7-10 days old. However, because of my lifestyle approach, I photograph babies of all ages, so we can create beautiful memories at any stage.

My newborn sessions are not your traditional baby-posed photos you may have seen. These sessions are designed to be as relaxing and natural as possible. I will gently guide your baby into comfortable and natural positions, and babies are usually placed in their parent’s arms for their portraits. It’s about your perfect little world just as it is, capturing the quiet moments and the deepest connections.

Your home doesn’t need to be styled or spotless. I will find places where beautiful daylight streams through the window, quietly step back, and watch your story unfold.

Embrace your personal style when choosing your wardrobe, but keep in mind that light neutral colors photograph beautifully and will enhance your maternity portraits.

Maternity portraits are best scheduled between 28-35 weeks. I typically book a couple of months in advance, so please contact me by week 25 to allow plenty of time for planning and styling your session.

I have several beautiful locations in Riverside and Orange County to suggest, or we can certainly capture your memories in the comfort of your own home.
