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!

    Here’s my secret…don’t fight it. You play, you laugh, you follow their lead.
The best photos happen when everyone’s relaxed, a little bit silly, and free to be themselves.
Real is what you’ll want to remember later.

    1. Keep posing gentle and natural.
    At this age, kids don’t need stiff, formal poses. Simple prompts like “look over your shoulder,” “hold your dress,” or “twirl once” help them feel at ease and still keep the focus on the special meaning of the day.
    2. Give them space to feel grown-up and little.
    Eight is a magical age, old enough to understand the moment, but still so innocent. I like to sneak in a few detail shots of their hair, dress, or tiny hands to capture that in-between.
    3. Talk to them like a friend.
    An 8-year-old is more relaxed when they feel seen and heard. I always ask about their favorite part of getting ready, or what they’re most excited about. The best smiles come when they feel proud of what this milestone means. #BaptismPhotography #BaptismPortraits #ChildPortraitPhotography #LDSBaptism #ldstemple

    1. Simple is beautiful.
    Soft, neutral outfits photograph best on a white background. You don’t need fancy clothes or lots of props, just pieces that feel comfortable and timeless so the focus stays on you and your little one.
    2. The magic is in the in-between.
    Don’t worry if your child isn’t looking at the camera the whole time. Some of the most heartfelt moments happen when you’re snuggling, playing, or just being together.
    3. It’s okay if it feels a little chaotic.
    Kids wiggle, giggle, and sometimes melt down. I’m a mom too, and I’ve seen it all. I’ll guide you through every moment so you can relax and soak up this sweet time together.#maternityphotosession #maternityphotoshoot #maternityphotography #mommyandme

    🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

    Today I’m feeling extra grateful for the freedoms we have, the people who built this country, and every brave person who has served — past and present — to protect it.

    Wishing you a day of fireworks, family, and a moment to appreciate just how lucky we are to call the USA home. ❤️🤍💙

    1. These photos will mean even more with time.
    Right now, it might feel like a fun excuse to get everyone together, but years from now these are the images your family will go back to. The ones that hang on walls, show up in slideshows, and get pulled out during the holidays. It’s more than a session, it’s a gift for your future self.
    2. Group photos are just the beginning.
    Once I capture the big group shot, I break it down into smaller combinations like siblings, individual families, and grandkids with grandparents. You’ll walk away with a gallery that feels like a full family album.
    3. I’ve got the chaos covered.
    Big groups can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry. I know how to keep things moving, lighthearted, and fun. You don’t have to direct or organize anyone. Just show up and enjoy the moment, I’ll take care of the rest.
