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!

When another photographer asks you to document their family , it’s a huge honor but when another photog says they also want to FLY you out to document their family - now that’s a whole other level. The Dinsmore family was a dream to photograph and their home was just epic with every corner full of light & love. I couldn’t wait to share more from this session with you guys but you know when you love something so much you savor it for as long as you can? Yep, thats how I feel about this session. I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite image from this family’s session because they all were my favorite. What makes this session so special? CONNECTION. Yep,  that’s gold for me as an artist. When clients relax, play and laugh , are themselves in front of the lens- it allows me to capture them authentically , all that make up who they are as a family. For this session we literally did the everyday stuff from piggy back rides in the kitchen , to coloring , to story time, cuddles, airplanes- you name it. This mamma had her own beautiful style and love for photography as well, being a photographer herself- so she invested time into the aesthetic of her session , into the vision , and she trusted me whole heartedly as her photographer which I felt deep within-and it allowed me to unleash my creativity + make magic. This session will forever be a favorite that I hold dear to my heart. In-home sessions are just so incredibly heartfelt to capture because it's where your love grows, it's where your babies grow up making memories with you, it's the space of sometimes nostalgia later in years- such a privilege documenting a family in this space. I know I’ve said it before, but in-home family lifestyle sessions are my JAM.

This adorable twin newborn portrait session is one of my all time favorites, double the love and double the sweetness! The Garber Family has always been a dream to photograph! It can always be a bit tricky coordinating a toddler + two brand new littles but these guys made parenthood look easy! Loved hanging out with this sweet family and cant wait to photograph all these little munchkins again as they grow up! In-home sessions are always a gem to document!

This in-home Newport Beach newborn session was so fun! As soon as I saw these sweet brothers with their new little baby sister, I knew we were going to freeze some magical memories for them to look back on! This insanely beautiful mamma had such great style and all areas of her home seeped dreamy open light! During this session the kids played, jumped, and wrestled like brothers always do, and loved on their new sister! I always want clients to incorporate parts of themselves and their everyday, so we played with cars and jumped on the bed and acted silly for some shots, always a fav of mine to capture on the other side of the lens!

Being an Orange County Family Photographer is a dream guys! Their is seriously nothing I was more destined to do . I love capturing these first moments for families and everyday I am so grateful that you choose me to document it for you! Their is such an over-abundance of joy when a baby arrives , it's always important for me to help you to remember these precious (and sleep depriving ;) moments that can be so fleeting! When a family invites me into their home, I aim to capture that effortless raw everyday beauty . I love to step back and ask parents to just stare at their little munchkins features, let the baby move, yawn, and stretch.  Babies have wonderful, perfect, sweet movements, so I do not stress over having the perfect pose in every frame. If theirs an older sibling in the session, tickling is a must! Play airplane with them, let them include their favorite toy, talk with them about their little sibling, whether it be "Can you find your sisters nose?" or "Lets give love to the baby!"  Remember, lifestyle photography is about capturing moments, not poses. That’s pretty much the best part – you don’t have to stress about making everything perfect – you just want to get your newborn an griwing family on camera, so you have photos to remember them by.
