When creating imagery for families, I hope to tell their story. I hope that what I create allows the viewer to go back in time for a moment, relishing in the sentiment of that chapter of his/her life , as a way to still hold onto it, in a sense. We all know time can be a fleeting thing but creating imagery that reflects the stage of life you are in now , allows you to re-live that beautiful moment again later. Photographs are what keep us connected ; reminding us of people, places, feelings, and stories.

Whether its remembering as a child how you flew high in the air when dad jumped on the trampoline with you, the nostalgia of moms scent when you cuddled up beside her with a book, or the sound of notes on the piano playing in the house with your fur-babies crowding around your feet; all of it encompasses a part of your story, a sliver of their childhood . Photographs are a way to savor that. Reminds me of my fav quote ; “You never know the value of a photograph, until its all you have left“. Ain’t that the truth though? Something to ponder when considering whether to take the picture or be in the picture. ;)

Lucky for me, I get to go into Orange County homes capturing the mundane everyday life moments you have with your little babes! Being an OC Lifestyle Photographer feels like a dream sometimes! I mean, I get to witness & capture the rawness of your family in the home where all the love grows , how special is that?

Just remember, you document something, you get to have it forever. <3

The Dixon Family | Newport Beach Newborn Photos | Orange County Newborn Photographer | Cori Kleckner Photography

It was an absolute joy to capture the Dixon family’s newborn lifestyle session in Newport Beach, California. This beautiful family welcomed their newest addition, and we had the privilege of freezing these precious early moments with their little ones. Newport Beach provided the perfect backdrop for this session, with its serene coastal charm enhancing the warmth and love shared between the family. Their toddler’s playful energy, combined with the quiet tenderness of their newborn, created a dynamic that was incredibly special to document.

One of the highlights of this session was including their fur-sibling in the photos! Pets are such an integral part of the family, and it’s always fun to capture the interactions between them and the little ones. The Dixon family’s sweet dog added even more joy and playfulness to the shoot, making these images all the more unique and heartwarming.

As an Orange County newborn photographer, these moments are fleeting but essential to capture, preserving memories that will be cherished for years to come. The Dixon family’s connection was heartwarming, and every shot reflected their deep bond. The candid lifestyle approach allowed us to capture their true personalities, from their cozy snuggles on the bed to moments on their sunlit porch.

If you’re seeking a maternity photographer or a lifestyle photographer for your newborn session in Orange County or nearby areas like Los Angeles and San Diego, I would love to help tell your family’s story. Whether it’s in the comfort of your home or in the beautiful coastal surroundings of Southern California, I’m here to document these irreplaceable milestones, including your beloved family pets!
