Family Newborn Photography Session | Orange County Baby Studio

Family Newborn Photography Session

While we love outdoor and themed family shoots, but there’s nothing quite so timeless and clean, white, and high key. Previously, we’ve done a beach session and a reunion session with this sweet family. When their newborn son arrived, they wanted to try something in our studio. With ideal lighting and temperature, it’s the perfect setting for newborns. If you’re booking a newborn session, consider including the whole family!

We think we got the perfect mix of Mom, Dad, new baby, siblings, and group family shots. Together, they make gorgeous individual portraits, or the perfect collage for a birth announcement (which we design in studio!)

Backgrounds and props

Mom and Dad chose simple black and white clothing to contrast against the simple backdrop, and we found the adorable grey elf beanie for baby from Craft Nikki. Mom found the cute reindeer outfit on Etsy. We found the adorable Hershey’s Kiss beanie at JessSaying. Baby wraps are by MomnPopPhotoProp. If you aren’t sure what to choose for backdrops or clothing, feel free to consult with us before your session. We’ve had lots of experience and can tell you what we’ve found works best, and send you to some of our previous work for inspiration.

    If your kids are home for the holidays, do this one thing.

Take new photos together. When kids grow up and move out, opportunities feel smaller. Make the most of the moments you do have. These years are worth remembering.
    Do you know the number one reason people regret skipping photos?

Because life looks different faster than they expected. The kids grow, seasons shift, and all of a sudden years have passed. A session is a pause button and a gift to your future self.
    Parents ask: What if my child cries with Santa?

It is completely fine. We take our time, let them warm up, and follow their lead. Some kids jump right in, others are more timid and shy. Both are normal and both make sweet memories.
    What part of your child’s personality do you wish you could freeze right now?

This age changes faster than we think. I love sessions like this because kids show exactly who they are in the moment, whether that is silliness, shyness, confidence, or curiosity. If you have been wanting to document this season of life, this is your reminder to make it happen.
    Is the Santa Experience worth it? Here is what I see every year.

Kids who walk in unsure and leave glowing. Parents who say it felt excited and personal. And families who come back year after year because it becomes a tradition.
