Studio Newborn Photography Sessions in the Bay Area
Many Bay Area families choose studio newborn photography for timeless, softly posed portraits in a calm, comfortable environment.
Studio sessions include:
• Wrapped and posed newborn portraits
• Family and sibling images

• Clean, timeless styling focused on baby
Parents can relax while posing and styling are handled professionally with baby safety and comfort as the top priority.
In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Photography Across the Bay Area
Lifestyle newborn sessions take place in your own home, capturing natural connection and real moments with your baby.
These sessions focus on:
• Natural cuddling and interaction
• Nursery and home details
• Family connection and emotion
• Baby-led relaxed pacing
There is no need for a perfectly styled home. Natural light and comfortable spaces are all we need to create meaningful portraits.
When Should You Schedule Newborn Photos?
Newborn sessions are ideally photographed between 7 and 14 days after birth, when babies sleep deeply and naturally curl into classic newborn poses.
Most families reserve sessions during pregnancy, then finalize the exact date once baby arrives to ensure the best timing.
What Should Families Wear for Newborn Photos?
Soft neutral tones photograph beautifully and keep attention on connection rather than clothing. Cream, beige, soft gray, and pastel tones create timeless portraits.
Styling guidance is provided before sessions so families feel prepared and confident.
