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.

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

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.

I had the pleasure of documenting this sweet little munchkin, whom happens to also be my niece, only 3 days new! I truly can’t put into words how lucky I feel that parents choose me to document one of the most delicate and precious milestones in their lives! 

When photographing newborns, I aim for simplicity. I  hope to leave you with photos that tell the story of their entry into this world , that reflect the strength and beauty of a mothers love and the strong bond in all of its newness . Since I document these families in the first weeks after birth, I understand parents are sometimes sleep deprived, moms are wearing their emotion on their sleeves - but it always moves me at how tangible their love is. I then have the obligation to portray in it my photos, its just so raw and amazing!

The newborn stage is a fleeting moment; those wrinkles, those rolls, that flaky skin, those teeny tiny delicate features... all gone in the blink of an eye! Capturing it all is an investment you will never regret!
