About a month ago I got the call that my friend and fellow photographer Mary of Mary Bea Photography had given birth to her first, a sweet baby boy. I was so thrilled for her and loved photographing those first few hours as she and her husband got to know their son. I’ve written before […]

Capitola is a bit of a drive for me but I was happy to make my way out there on a Saturday morning with my husband and kiddo in tow. The weather was lovely and they headed to the beach while I spent my morning doing what I love, photographing an adorable baby in her […]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Fresh 48 sessions are some of my favorite favorite favorite sessions to do. There’s something kind of magical and beautiful about documented fresh babies in the place they were born. Photographing the first few hours in which this newly minted human is being exposed to air, […]

Last week I posted baby Liam’s Fresh 48 newborn session at Washington hospital. This week, I’m sharing his in-home newborn lifestyle session. This session was taken a couple of weeks after the first session and the family had some time to get used to each other a bit and settle into their new dynamic. I […]

Is there anything better than a fresh baby? I have one kiddo who is five years old, and I can barely remember what it was like those first fleeting days in the hospital. I don’t really live with regrets but I do wish I had someone to come by and take gorgeous photos of those […]

I met Shannon through a local Fremont moms Facebook group. Her son Ripley was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect and needed surgery and she wanted to have some photos taken before and after the surgery to document such a huge event. We agreed that an in-home family lifestyle session sounded like the right setting […]

A few weeks ago I received a text from my friend Lauren the Doula who said she had a client who had given birth 5 weeks early and wanted a Fresh48 session. The next day I heard from the father and we made plans for me to come by. Y’all. This baby was so precious. And […]

We flew back to Dallas a few weeks ago to visit family and the night we flew in my cousin had her baby. Talk about great timing! I’m so happy I was able to do a Fresh 48 session for them and capture the first hours of baby Ella’s life. She’s such a sweet baby […]

Remember the sweet maternity shoot I posted last week? Well, here’s the latest installment: Baby August! The Desarios wanted a simple and sweet session in their home in Alameda and I was happy to oblige. Especially after seeing this sweet face! I mean, after meeting Nicky I figured the newest Desario would also be adorable […]

Y’all, I have some serious baby fever. I’ve done a few newborn shoots lately and I just can’t handle the cute! My daughter is 3.5 now and I can’t even remember what it was like to hold her when she was that little! This little babe was so lovely. She didn’t cry until we were […]
