San Jose Newborn Photographer
Bay Area Newborn Photography
Twin Dragonflies Photography Studio is a San Jose newborn photographer specializing in posed and lifestyle newborn sessions. Parents in San Jose, Los Gatos, and Palo Alto typically book during pregnancy to secure a session within the baby’s first 2–3 weeks.
Expecting a baby is one of the most special times in your life, and I hope you are enjoying every moment of this journey. As an experienced San Jose newborn photographer, I recommend booking your newborn photography session early in pregnancy to secure your date. Don’t worry if your little one arrives earlier or later than expected—we’ll adjust your session accordingly.
The studio newborn sessions are held in my professional studio in West San Jose. Families have full access to a curated collection of newborn props, wraps, and accessories, with the option to choose colors and styles that reflect their vision. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and memorable newborn photography experience that results in timeless portraits you’ll treasure for years.

Sessions usually last 2–3 hours, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and safely posing your baby without rushing.
