newborn photography
When you become a parent, everything feels new and worthy of documenting. And it is! That’s why I always make the experience simple and full of joy.
Whether you live in Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, or beyond, you get to enjoy the moments and the experience.
Heart-melting baby giggles. Sweet-smelling baby hair. Tiny baby fingers and toes.

Unlike most Los Angeles and Santa Monica newborn photographers, I don’t set a time limit. Instead, I will take as much or little time as you need.
So you'll never have to worry that baby spit up or a sudden blowout will eat up the clock. And you can relax knowing baby’s schedule comes first. In other words, you can simply spend the session savoring those fleeting moments of newborn parenthood instead of feeling like they’re a disruption.

tips & resources
I don't set a time limit on my sessions. Instead, I take cues from the family. Typically a Newborn Session can last 1-2 hours, but that can change depending on the baby's feeding and nap schedule. I like to leave time for the unpredictables, like explosive poops!
q: how long does a newborn session last?
I suggest booking your Santa Monica newborn photography session during your second or third trimester. That's the best way to guarantee your spot and cross one more thing off your to-do list before the baby arrives.
q: when should we book our newborn session?
Think of your Santa Monica Newborn Session as an opportunity to spend quality time with your family. Cuddle your baby, feed them a bottle, give your partner some love, and I will be there to capture it all.
Q: what do we do during our newborn session?
I encourage families to hang out in whatever rooms they are most comfortable in. We tend to move around a little bit, so I suggest having the nursery and your bedroom ready to go, and possibly the living room depending on your setup.
Q: where in my home will the session take place?
I serve all of Los Angeles County. Cities include Culver City, Brentwood, Westwood, Cheviot Hills, West LA, Santa Monica, Venice, Playa Vista, Mid-City, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Miracle Mile, Hollywood, Hancock Park, Larchmont, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Glendale, Burbank, North Hollywood, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Encino, West Hills, and beyond.
Q: what areas are you serving as a santa monica newborn photographer?
As a documentary photographer, here are the 3 things I recommend: Dressing in a style that feels like you, making sure you can hold and feed your baby in your session outfit, and creating a cohesive look as a family.
