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.

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
