Toy Story Mini Sessions – Andy’s Room Theme

Mini Sessions with Buzz, Woody, and the gang!

We had an amazing turnout for the Toy Story mini sessions this passed summer! If you missed out, don’t worry- we saved everything from this set so we can use it again for children’s portrait sessions, cake smash sessions, etc. The Andy’s room background was purchased from an amazing store called Babydream Backdrops. Many of the toys and props were brought in by the kids. We supplied the little green army men and some of the blocks seen in the background. The Toy Story mini sessions have been one of the most requested on social media. People were willing to drive out to Costa Mesa from LA and even San Diego!

Be sure to visit our mini session page for the upcoming holiday schedule. Santa will be here for 2 days in November and the set is going to be amazing!

Every newborn session is special, but this one was extra sweet. After three boys, this family welcomed their baby girl!

If you’re booking a newborn session with older siblings, here are a few things to know:
1. Sibling shots are always included. We’ll capture big brothers or sisters meeting their new role.
2. I balance family, sibling, and solo newborn portraits so you get a full story of this season.
3. Don’t worry about energy or chaos. After photographing families for over 20+ years, I’ve seen it all. The goal is connection, not perfection.

Your gallery will reflect your family just as you are … now with a brand new little one to love.”

💗 Save this if you’re planning newborn photos with siblings.

💎 “How do I choose the perfect outfit for a cake smash?”

One of the best ways to elevate your baby’s session is to coordinate their outfit with the set. For this Tiffany & Co. theme, mom went classic…a black dress, pearl necklace, and even tiny sunglasses! It made the whole setup feel polished and timeless while still playful.

Think of colors, accessories, or even a favorite brand that inspires you. The outfit doesn’t just photograph beautifully, it tells the story of this stage in your child’s life.

Yes — and it’s stunning.

The bold red against the soft tones of the ocean? Total showstopper. Pair it with classic suits and suddenly your beach session feels elevated and elegant, without losing the fun.

📸 Pro tip: The contrast between formalwear and nature gives your images a timeless, editorial vibe

Don’t be afraid to dress up. The beach can handle it.

“Will wind ruin our beach session?”
I get this question more often than you’d think, especially from families planning beach portraits.

Truth is, the beach comes with surprises. Wind, waves, and wild hair sometimes just come with the territory. But that doesn’t mean your photos won’t turn out beautifully.

This session? One of the windiest we’ve ever photographed.
But never fear. The outcome was great.

We plan, we prep… and then we roll with it. And I’ll be there guiding you every step of the way.

Yes — but keep it soft, polished, and true to you.
Think timeless, elevated, natural.
You want to still look like you — just the best version.
And yes, lashes photograph beautifully. 😉
