It was such a privilege to capture the Dodge Family during their beautiful in-home lifestyle newborn session. Leah Dodge and her family welcomed me into their gorgeous home for this intimate and heartfelt photoshoot, where we captured moments that will forever hold meaning in their journey as a growing family. Their sweet newborn, alongside their adorable toddler and family dog, created a truly heartwarming atmosphere. There’s something incredibly special about photographing families in their own space— it allows for authentic moments and the comfort of home to shine through in every image. This session was filled with tender family connections, laughter, and love, perfectly embodying what I love about being an Orange County newborn photographer.

In-home newborn sessions are a wonderful way to capture those precious early days of life, and this session with the Dodge family exemplifies why lifestyle newborn photography is so cherished. If you’re searching for a lifestyle photographer in Orange County or looking to document your family’s unique story, I would love to help you preserve these unforgettable moments in a relaxed and natural setting.

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

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.

It was an absolute pleasure to capture the Babluch family during their Laguna Beach maternity session, celebrating the anticipation of their second little one. As a Newport Beach maternity photographer, sessions like these are always a wonderful mix of love, excitement, and tender moments between family members. The stunning backdrop of Newport Beach combined with the glow of an expectant mother creates an unforgettable experience.

Nadine radiated beauty as she embraced her growing baby bump, while her partner, Shawn, and their adorable little boy, Connor, filled the session with warmth and laughter. Maternity sessions that incorporate family members are some of my favorites, as they allow the bond between parents and siblings to shine. Little Connor was an absolute joy to capture—full of energy and curiosity, with so much excitement for becoming a big brother soon!

For families in Orange County, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach, maternity sessions are a beautiful way to document not just the pregnancy but the entire family’s journey. Whether you’re welcoming your first child or your third, these moments are fleeting and worth preserving. As a Southern California maternity photographer, I specialize in capturing these intimate connections, ensuring that each session reflects the unique beauty of every family.

If you’re interested in a Newport Beach maternity session or a Laguna Beach family photographer, I would be honored to help document this special time for you and your family.

This Laguna Beach Family session was such a dream to capture! Not too long ago, I was capturing The Roach family right as they welcomed their third little guy into the family, now look at him a few months later full of that adorable luscious baby chub! What a treasure it is seeing families & your kiddos grow. What an honor it is when families choose me time and time again to still be the one to capture their family. I love every minute of capturing you snuggle, kiss and play with your babies and never take this amazing job for granted .
