Costa Mesa Family Newborn Photographer – Baby Sister

Family newborn photographer – Costa Mesa

This is one of our favorite families to work with. They have returned to us again and again over the years, and we have had so much fun with them–from locations, to poses, to wardrobe choices–they have great ideas and we are able to help capture them. Exactly what a family newborn photographer would hope for in a session!

Studio Newborn Photography

So, we were happy to get to photograph them again when new baby sister joined the family of two proud brothers. Since baby sister was still a newborn, we chose our studio for the shoot (as opposed to their previous outdoor locations). While outdoor locations are fun, our studio has the ideal temperature and lighting for new babies, especially when we’re doing ‘au natural’ dressing. The photos turned out gorgeous!

Bring the whole Family

We were able to do family, sibling, and newborn shots, and have them in and out in a short amount of time (since everyone with a newborn knows that time between feedings and changes goes FAST!). Simple black and white clothing on the family with the white backdrop helped baby sister’s pink to pop. Her adorable hat is from Craft Nikki, chosen from our huge in studio selection of hats, blankets, and other props.

I’m sure we’ll see this beautiful family again in a few months when baby gets a little bigger, and what a great portfolio of family photos and memories they’re building by making photography a priority!

    Simple Sophistication

    We are on Instagram
    This mama wanted something natural and timeless at the beach, and sunset gave her exactly that.

If you are planning maternity photos, think about sunrise or sunset. Those times of day truly make a difference in how relaxed and beautiful your images feel.

Send me a message to chat about the best timing for your maternity session.
    This year’s mini sessions are in the studio on our clean white backdrop. It’s timeless, classic, and the perfect blank canvas to let your family’s personality shine.

Last year we photographed this family, and they brought so much fun energy into their session. Proof that even on a simple backdrop, your joy and connection make the photos unique.

If you’ve been waiting for updated portraits, this is the easiest (and most fun!) way to do it
    When it’s 115° by midday, sunrise is your best friend. For this session, we met at sunrise to photograph an 18-year-old heading out on his LDS mission.
	•	The light is softer and golden…perfect for portraits.
	•	The heat hasn’t set in yet, so you’re more comfortable.
	•	And bonus: fewer crowds at popular locations.

If you’re planning a summer session in Arizona, sunrise is the way to go!
    When planning twin sessions, I recommend choosing a theme that works for both. Simple and timeless designs photograph beautifully. For these brothers, we created a custom backdrop with balloons and large ONE letters so they could share the stage but still have space to shine individually.

Tip: Jeans or coordinated outfits help tie the look together without making it too matchy matchy.

Planning a twin birthday Let’s make it memorable
    We photographed this sweet newborn in December, and it’s a question I get all the time: When should we book our newborn session?
	•	The ideal window is within the first few weeks so your baby is extra sleepy and curled up.
	•	But don’t stress if you miss that. Sessions can be beautiful at any stage.
	•	I’ll guide you through family photos, sibling shots (if needed), and solo portraits so every detail of this season is remembered.
