THE  NEWBORN SESSION

Picture
Infancy is the most precious and wondrous stage of your child's life and a delightful time for photography.

When newborns are about 5 to 10 days old, sweet and wonderfully posed images are best. With slightly older babes (from 2 weeks to approximately 3 months), images tend to be more natural and simple, and the photo-shoot flows around the baby's schedule. 
Sessions take place in the comfort of your home, and I bring lots of adorable and appropriate props like blankets, bonnets, hats, baskets, and wraps. Newborn sessions last up to 3 hours and can include family shots if desired.
​

I find incredible joy in capturing these first moments of the babies' life and I will make everything I can to make you, and your family comfortable during the session and ensure quality images that you will treasure forever!

THE PORTRAIT SESSION

Picture
These sessions are joyful and fun. It may take a few minutes for your child to warm up to the idea of being photographed but don’t worry–a little patience and a funny face game is usually all that’s needed. Once the session starts moving along, I encourage parents to be relaxed and follow their kids’ lead. In fact, there are not many things that kids love more than their parents cuddling and playing with them and this makes for fantastic photos! You are welcome to bring any items that are meaningful to your child (like a stuffed animal or a blanket) and maybe a snack he/she enjoys.

The Kids, Family and Maternity Sessions usually run for one hour on location of your choice in the beautiful Bay Area or at your home.

I also offer shorter sessions tailored to your specific needs.
Please contact me and I will be happy to discuss what you are looking for and offer you a custom package.

THE BELLY TO FIRST YEAR BUNDLE


This package is designed to capture all the special memories from pregnancy through the first year of life. 
The focus of the sessions is on Baby but Mom and Dad are encouraged to make appearances in some of the photos.



Picture
SESSION 1
First photo shoot is during the 8th or 9th month of pregnancy to capture the beauty of the belly. Mommy can bring Daddy as well as siblings for fun hands-on-the-tummy pictures!
 
For the perfect maternity session, we recommend scheduling during your 7th month.
When you contact me and schedule an appointment I will ask few questions to get to know you and what you are looking for. This way I will come to you prepared to take stunning photos while you are comfortable and relaxed.
​

SESSION 2
The second photo shoot occurs  5 to 10 days  after Baby arrives.
Because this magical stage of life passes in the blink of an eye, newborn
portraits are captured during the first two weeks of life, while your little
one is still well-fed, sleepy and content. I will keep your due date on file
and stay in touch with you as the exciting day approaches, making
adjustments to fit you in at just the right time.

Don’t forget to prepare your birth announcements and have them ready
for send off shortly after the photo shoot! 
(Need references? Ask me!)

SESSION 3
The next session happens when Baby reaches the 6th month Milestone. This photo shoot will capture the wonderful expressions that your little one is perfecting as well the little (or not so little!) personality that is already developing. Sitting babies make the best models, because they can't crawl away and are easily amused with peek-a-boo and squeaky toys.

SESSION 4
The forth session of this package is the celebration of the first birthday. Whether your child is s
tanding or walking at this time, I know he/she is ready to take on the world and I will capture this amazing milestone in photos you can cherish forever!
We will discuss what you think is right for your one year old and make sure this final photo shoot of the package is everything you are hoping for. The best part if you ask me? - Cake smash included with his/her 1st bday photos!
