Carlsbad, CA Home Newborn Session

I was so honored to capture this adorable newborn session for the sweetest Carlsbad family. I love working with new families and whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, a new baby will always mean big changes to life as you know it!

It’s always wonderful to celebrate your baby with lifestyle newborn photos that show the environment and how much they change your life from their very first breath! I always marvel at how wonderful it is to capture the beauty and chaos of a new baby! I get to capture the raw moments and the real moments, the ones that most parents barely remember but are kept alive through these images. A newborn session is truly a priceless gift for the future.

A newborn session is a luxury that might be easy to skip in the moment — but one you will treasure and be thankful for in the future. I always say, “do something today your future self will thank you for!” I am positive that these newborn images will be one of those things every mother will be thankful for, especially when they hit the teen years! Here are a few of my favorites from our session!

There’s something so powerful about the way a mother holds her newborn—gentle, protective, completely in sync.⁣
⁣
In those first few weeks, everything feels new, yet somehow like it was always meant to be. These are the moments you’ll want to remember—the way they fit in your arms, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the quiet connection that needs no words.⁣

Oh my… you still sleep like that.” The way your baby tucks their hands under their cheek or stretches one tiny foot just so—it’s all them. And that’s exactly what we’ll capture. 💫

✨ One moment, they’re little, holding your hand. The next, they’re off chasing their own dreams. Let’s capture this season before it’s just a memory.⁣

The tiniest yawn, the biggest feeling!⁣ Happy Easter weekend, wishing you all lots of fun and sunshine wherever you are!
⁣
There’s something about a newborn’s yawn that makes time stand still. Maybe it’s because you know these sleepy, snuggly days won’t last forever. But for now, they’re here—and they’re everything.
