Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

The wild thing about having a toddler who is your baby is that all of a sudden she’s not the baby anymore. Just like that, she seems so big, so much older.

Well, it used to be that my most favorite part of photographing newborn sessions was getting a little newborn snuggle-time while also giving a tired mom and dad a little break here and there. In these times of covid, this is unfortunately not possible. I choose not to have any physical contact with these little babies. I can’t wait till this is not the case.

Maureen and Curt got married at a barn burner surrounded by the love of family and friends and the most delicious food(yay! paella) AND at one of my favorite venues, Fausel Ranch. A pretty stellar evening. This was in June of 2018. After buying a new home in Alameda and a honeymoon in New Zealand, they got to work on a few projects including some home renovations and baby construction. Little Odin arrived in September and I met up with their new expanded family at Fausel to capture them all, including Lucy, their rescue dog who enjoyed the wide open…

What a lucky boy you are to have the parents you have. I’ve known Meg and Brandon since their engagement in 2016 and I’m always honored when my wedding couples reach out to me to continue capturing their life milestones, these two in particular. This continuum allows us to easily jump back in where we left off. Meg and Brandon’s love and connection is so clear that it simply feels good on my soul to see it, feel it and to capture it. The best part of life is the love we share and the connections we make along the…

Lily decided that 40 weeks was an insurmountable amount of time in order to meet her family. At about 34 weeks Kailey started having contractions and was put on bed rest. About a week after that, I got the call at 11pm that she was checked into Marshall and was ready to roll. I too rolled, but out of bed, grabbed my gear and a cup of hot tea and off I went to Marshall. Kailey and I giggled as her Tahoe maternity session quickly turned into a Marshall Hospital bed, maternity session/birth.  You just never know. Lily arrived at…

  Going from two to three is a big change. In fact going from one to two is a big change, but also different. An engagement, to a wedding to a pregnancy to a birth. I feel so fortunate to get to capture these changes and to capture the love. When Nyron was just 9 days old I spent some time with him at his home witnessing all those adoring moments of being a new parent. It’s a time you can’t get back and truly incredible to witness their love for this little boy they brought into the world. Nyron, couldn’t be any more lucky than to have Kailey…

As you might have remembered, Casey Moreland came in to this world with a bang, stunning her mama whose labor progressed from just getting started to delivery in about 30 minutes. Casey continues to capture my heart, as does her family who are warm, loving and engaged. Photographing Newborn Lifestyle sessions are quickly becoming a passion of mine because of the story I get to tell of a baby’s first days in their new home. Baby is relaxed and the family is connected because, well, home is where the heart is. Can’t wait to meet up with The Moreland Family in 6…
