The Parthemer Newborn Session | Orange County Newborn Photographer | Cori Kleckner Photography | Santa Monica Newborn Photographer | Los Angeles Newborn Photographer

It was such a joy to capture the Parthemer Family during their in-home newborn session. As a Newport Beach newborn photographer, I’m always reminded of the beauty and serenity that comes with welcoming a new life into a family. This session felt extra special, with their home filled with warmth and love as they embraced the newest addition to their family. Capturing the quiet moments of connection between their little one and older sibling was truly heartwarming.

One of the things I love most about newborn sessions is documenting the natural and genuine interactions between family members in the comfort of their own space. The Parthemers shared so many sweet moments, from gentle cuddles to laughter. Their fur-sibling, a loyal family pet, even made an appearance, reminding me how important pets are to family life. Including pets in these sessions always brings out a bit of extra personality, and it’s a wonderful way to make sure everyone is included in the family photos.

As an Orange County newborn photographer, it’s a privilege to capture these early days when the world seems to stand still, yet the moments are fleeting. Whether you’re welcoming your first child or growing your family, these moments deserve to be remembered. I am also proud to offer newborn photography to families throughout Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and San Diego, so no matter where you’re located, I’d love to help capture your family’s journey with timeless, natural photography.

If you’re looking for a newborn photographer in Orange County, Los Angeles, or beyond, feel free to reach out to book your session. Let’s document these precious, fleeting moments together in a way that you and your family will treasure for years to come.

It’s always such a joy to photograph the Boutelier family, and our sessions have become even more special since their recent move from Los Angeles to Orange County. Having worked with Jenna and her family for years, each session feels like a wonderful reunion as we explore new beach spots in Orange County together. Jenna is truly the sweetest mama, and it’s so clear to see the love and connection she shares with her family in every image. This Newport Beach family session was full of laughter and tender moments, as the Boutelier family embraced the beautiful ocean backdrop with their little ones.

As an Orange County family photographer, it’s always heartwarming to capture families as they grow and change, and I’m grateful to continue documenting the Bouteliers as they settle into their new home here in Orange County. Whether we’re chasing the sunset at the beach or enjoying some playful moments in the sand, every session with them is filled with so much warmth and love.

It’s been so incredibly busy around here for us photogs trying to juggle busy season that my blog tends to be the first to suffer! I am the first to admit I put blogging on the back burner but know how important it is to keep sharing fresh content with you guys too! I wanted to start by sharing this gorgeous in-home family session in Malibu .

I had the pleasure of documenting blogger & mommy , Roxanne West, and her adorable little family visiting here from Canada! They were vacationing here with HomeAway Vacation rentals and the space we had for the day was seriously unreal! I’m talking ocean view, super kid friendly, cozy little space filled with yummy light & sea salt air! This shabby chic, ocean front beach house had panoramic views of Santa Monica and surrounding LA, large sea level deck and the most adorable built-in-wall bunkbeds! 

Not only was our space breathtaking but The West Family was a dream to photograph! For this session, I really wanted to push myself as an artist to find ways to freeze the connection between them . Lately, as an artist, I have been digging deep within myself , soul searching as an artist, pushing myself to newfound ways to capture families in their most authentic state . For this reason, during the session we did ALOT OF PLAYING. I'm talking coloring pictures, taking polaroids, bed cuddles, tickling, upside-downing, dancing in the kitchen, piggy backs kind-of-playing. I feel this type of play nurtures an environment to capture those authentoc moments , to capture those memories we all want as mommys to look back on one day.
