What types of photography do you specialize in?
We specialize in newborn, maternity, baby milestone, cake smash, family, and professional headshot photography. Sessions are available in our West San Jose studio, outdoors during golden hour, or in the comfort of your home for lifestyle newborn and family photography.
When should we book our session?
Most families reserve maternity and newborn sessions during the second trimester to ensure availability around their due date. Family and milestone sessions are typically booked 4–8 weeks in advance, especially during peak spring and fall seasons when San Jose outdoor locations are in high demand.
When is the best time for newborn photography?
Newborn sessions are ideally scheduled within the first 7–14 days after birth, when babies are naturally sleepy and comfortably curled. Early booking allows flexibility around your due date and ensures a smooth scheduling process.
Do you provide wardrobe or props?
Yes. Our studio offers a curated collection of newborn wraps, headbands, simple props, and maternity gowns designed to create a timeless, natural look. Personalized styling guidance is provided before every session to help coordinate outfits for the entire family.
How long does a photography session last?
Session length depends on the type of photography. Newborn sessions typically last 2–3 hours to allow time for feeding and soothing. Maternity and family sessions generally last 60–90 minutes, depending on location, lighting, and outfit changes.
Can parents, siblings, or pets be included?
Absolutely. Parents, siblings, and even pets are welcome to participate. Capturing genuine family connection is an essential part of every session.

Proof galleries are typically delivered within two weeks, depending on the season and session type. Final edited images are completed promptly after your selections are made.
