Newport Beach Baby Photographer – 6 months old

Sitting Up Session – Newport Beach Baby Photographer

We always recommend the baby plan to our newborn clients! Not only does it help you document the first year of life, it can also make a really cute baby book that will last for generations. This family is so great about documenting milestones for their children. We get to see them so often, the kids always have a great session. No stranger-danger with these kiddos! I wanted clients to understand the importance of professionally documenting the baby’s first year, so I put their album design into a short video.

Check out his first year baby book:

These short videos are so great for sharing online through your social media accounts. If you decide to order a book, we are happy to make you one- just ask! The first year goes by so fast- believe me! We still can’t believe our little guys aren’t so little anymore. As they start preschool, and then elementary school, you almost forget what they were like as babies. Enjoy it- but document it so you can always remember this special time! You’ll also notice the little Sophie toy in the photos. He’s not very interested in it now, but boy did he love it at 6 months. Capture those moments so you’ll always have them!

Here is his newborn session.

Here is his 1st year cake smash session.

This birthday session was all about spring. Yellow, white, and fresh greenery made the sweetest backdrop for celebrating this little girl turning two.

And one of my favorite parts? Mom and Dad joined in. Parents often think these sessions are just about the child, but being in the photos matters too. Years from now, she’ll look back and see not only her birthday joy but also the love surrounding her. 💛

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.

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!
