There’s something magical about those first few days with a newborn—those tiny toes, sleepy yawns, and the way they fit so perfectly in your arms. I recently had the absolute joy of capturing Baby S’s newborn session, and let me tell you, it was pure sweetness from start to finish. If you haven’t checked out the images yet, head over to Baby S’s gallery—they’re a little slice of heaven! As a lifestyle newborn photographer in Northern California, moments like these are why I love what I do, and I’m so excited to share this session with you.
Baby S was a dream to photograph. Wrapped in soft, neutral tones, this little one looked so peaceful against the cozy textures of blankets and the gentle light streaming in. The session took place right at home, which is my favorite way to capture these early days—surrounded by the love and comfort of family. We kept it simple and natural, focusing on those tender connections: the way Baby S’s tiny hand curled around a parent’s finger, the soft snuggles, and those adorable sleepy expressions. It’s all about freezing those fleeting moments that feel so big in your heart but pass by way too fast.
The setup was classic lifestyle vibes—think soft whites, creams, and a touch of earthy warmth. We used a cushy beanbag for some of those iconic newborn poses, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few close-ups of Baby S’s perfect little features. The gallery shows off every detail, from the delicate eyelashes to the tiny toes peeking out of a wrap. Parents, if you’re in Northern CA and dreaming of photos like these, let’s make it happen—there’s nothing better than capturing your baby’s earliest story in your own space.
This session reminded me why I’m so passionate about lifestyle newborn photography. It’s not just about the pictures—it’s about the feeling. The way the room felt calm and quiet, the love you could see in every glance, and the joy of welcoming Baby S into the world. Northern California has such a beautiful backdrop for these moments, whether you’re in Sacramento, the Bay Area, or beyond. I’m so grateful I got to be a part of this family’s journey.
