Those first few days with your baby are so precious and pass by in the blink of an eye. My newborn sessions are designed to preserve those tiny details—soft cheeks, little toes, and peaceful yawns—in a cozy studio setting. I’ll create a calm and comfortable environment so you can relax while I capture these fleeting moments, turning them into heirloom-quality artwork to cherish for generations.

Hazeleigh

the first baby

Hazeleigh’s session was so special as she was her mama’s first baby, marking the start of a beautiful new journey. We styled the session with soft, neutral tones to highlight her delicate features. Capturing the love and joy her parents felt as they held her was truly heartwarming, and these portraits will forever remind them of the excitement of becoming a family.

Bella’s session was such a joy to capture as the newest addition to a family of six! With the oldest sibling being 16, this session was all about celebrating the love and connection of a growing family. We kept the styling soft and timeless to highlight Bella’s tiny features and the sweet bond she already shares with her parents and siblings. These portraits are a beautiful reminder of the love that surrounds her.

After capturing their love and excitement during the maternity session, mom and dad knew they wanted to fill their walls with portraits of their sweet girl. Styled with soft, neutral tones, Vyna’s session focused on her tiny details and peaceful expressions, creating timeless artwork that perfectly complements their growing family’s story.

FAqs as a yucaipa Maternity Photographer

Q: When is the best time to schedule my newborn session?

A: It’s best to book your newborn session during your second or third trimester to ensure availability. Sessions are typically held when your baby is 7-21 days old to capture those sleepy, curled-up poses.

Q: Do you provide props and outfits for the session?

A: Yes! I have a carefully curated collection of wraps, outfits, and props to create timeless and beautifully styled images. You don’t need to bring anything for baby, but you’re welcome to include sentimental items if you’d like.

Q: What is the investment for a newborn session?

A: Each session is completely custom, depending on the artwork or albums you choose. I offer a variety of heirloom-quality products at all price points, from matted prints to statement wall art and luxury albums. This allows you to select what best fits your home and style.
