Newport Beach, CA & Gilbert, AZ • Sessions by appointment only
1. Your baby might not “smash” the cake and that’s OK.
Some babies dive in face first, and some barely touch it. Either way, it’s adorable, and we’ll get great photos no matter how messy (or tidy!) it gets.
2. Keep the outfit simple and comfy.
Tutus and bow ties are cute, but comfort is key. If your little one isn’t loving the outfit, it’ll show. We always say: one outfit for portraits, one for smashing, and keep it soft and easy to move in!
3. Timing matters more than you think.
We’ll plan your session around your baby’s happiest time of day, usually after a nap and snack. That way we get smiles instead of meltdowns.
The difference is in the details….
This is the part you don’t always see… but it’s where the magic happens.
The hours spent editing every image by hand.
Adjusting color, light, skin tones — without losing the realness.
Bringing out the magic you might not have noticed in the moment.

You know where to find me.
Because you can feel their love in this shot.
There’s always one photo from a session that just sticks. It’s not always the most perfect… but it’s the most them. This is one of mine from this session. ❤️
One thing my clients always tell me…
I’m so glad we didn’t wait until things were less hectic.
Because spoiler: life’s always a little hectic, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth remembering!
