Orange County Newborn Photography Studio – Baby Boy

Orange County newborn photography – baby boy

Baby Aiden’s session went so well! We know his parents from the wedding industry so it was like working with old friends. Dan is one of the best videographers in Orange County and Jen is an awesome wedding coordinator at Marbella Country Club! When they requested the moon, we had to decide whether we would buy a digital moon and photoshop it, or just try to build one. Brian decided he would give it a shot. The moon turned out perfect, and now we have a moon for future sessions. Congrats Dan and Jen on your brand new baby boy!

There are so many baby photographers now- however, there are only a few Orange County newborn photography studios. Having a studio is key. I can’t even imagine trying to load up the truck with all of my newborn props and transport my 7 foot umbrella, strobes, stands, and everything else! We have over 75 unique backgrounds now- how would I take all of those with me? I LOVE my studio, now I just need to figure out where to store this moon!

Newborn Props

Grey dot background: Lemondrop Backgrounds

Camping background: Intuition Backgrounds

Camping props: Kings Cloth

Wraps and furs: Custom Photo Props

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.
