Precious Moments by Sacramento Newborn Photographer
Did you just have your precious little one or are they on the way? These precious sleepy newborn moments do not last long! Blink and you might miss it….or fall asleep, because those first nights also are NOT easy. While I can’t take those sleepless nights away, I can make your newborn photography session go smoothly and stress-free, capturing wonderful memories! As a dedicated Sacramento newborn photographer, I will lead your session safely and creatively, and you won’t need to worry about a thing. Trained in safe baby posing and with a plethora of available props, baskets, and swaddles, we will capture your little one in a variety of poses by themselves and most importantly cuddling with you and the rest of your family. These in-home sessions happen conveniently at your house and I will bring everything along that you need. Let’s make treasured keepsakes together that you will love for decades to come!
Why Choose Me For Your Newborn Session?
-
15 Years Experience
I have 15+ years experience working with young children and babies of all ages. As a Mom myself, I have plenty of experience with newborns myself, but have also taken extensive training in safe posing practices for my newborn photographer sessions specifically
-
In-Home Portraits
Unlike many newborn photographers who have you come to a studio, I come to your house! This is so much more convenient for your family and keeping your newborn happy and on a routine. I have a large variety of props that I bring along, and photography equipment that will help our session be successful with wonderful photos!
-
Advanced Editing Skills
Did you know this little boy’s face was covered in acne? Babies can have a lot of blemishes, and awesome newborn photos often require a lot of combining of separate photos to make happen. Here is where my advanced editing skills come into play to ensure you get that wonderful photo no matter what! Many photographers do not have these skills!

Frequently Asked Questions: Newborn Edition

I take newborn safety extremely seriously, more so than most, since my own son was on oxygen for his first 6 months and extremly critical as a newborn. Safety is absolutely the most important part of every session! I have completed training on Safe Newborn Photography, but because of my experience with my son, I actually find that I know far more than any of these courses provide. I am extremely knowledgable in spotting subtle signs of distressed or labored breathing, far before it actually becomes a problem and will always ensure that your baby is safe and comfortable. I only do completely safe poses in my newborn workflow, and always utilze a parent as a spotter. This will be controversial to some, but I also ALWAYS do newborn sessions fully healthy and fully masked to ensure that I will never be the reason that a baby gets sick, or worse hospitalized with RSV.
-
My calendar generally books up 1-2 months before, so I always recommend inquiring 2-3 months before. We will reserve your session, but then determine the date after baby is born. That being said, don’t hesitate to reach out if your baby has already been born as I do sometimes have openings in my schedule, especially for in-home newborn sessions, as these aren’t dependent on sunset times like my outdoor sessions are.
-
I generally recommend sessions take place between 1-3 weeks old, but anytime in the first 6 weeks generally works great. I will also photograph newborn sessions between 6-8 weeks if desired, but some swaddling and posed shots will no longer be possible at this age due to baby’s size and often resistance to being swaddled, and baby is much more likely to be fully awake for the session.
-
Since I do In-Home Newborn Sessions, I will come to your house with everything we need for a successful photo session, from props to swaddles to baskets and more. Before our session, I will ask you for basic color scheme questions and picture preferences and then will bring appropriate props, swaddles and equipment for those preferences.
