Nobody warns you how quickly newborns stop looking like newborns.
One day they`re all curled up and sleepy.
A few weeks later they`re stretching out, making eye contact, and already looking more like the little person they`re becoming.
Those first weeks are their own little chapter.

The newborn stage feels long when you`re living it and impossibly short when it`s over. That`s why I believe these tiny moments deserve to be documented before they become memories. #VallentynePhotography #StudioNewbornPhotography #CarlsbadNewbornPhotographer #NewbornPortraits #BabyPhotography #NorthCountyFamilies #OceansidePhotographer #NewbornSession #BabyMemories

One of the biggest reasons families call me is simple: "We don`t have a good photo of all of us together." Everyone is usually busy taking pictures of each other, but very few families have photos where everyone is actually in the frame. #VallentynePhotography #FamilyBeachPhotos #CarlsbadPhotographer #FamilyPortraits #NorthCountySanDiego #BeachFamilySession #OceansidePhotography #FamilyMemories #SanDiegoFamilies

One of my favorite questions to ask parents is, "What`s your favorite thing they`re doing right now?"
Nobody ever says sitting up.
They say:
"The way he belly laughs."
"The little dance she does."
"The way she claps for herself."
"The face he makes when he`s proud."
Those are the things worth remembering.

The newborn photos are never really about the baby alone. They`re about the people who already love them more than they ever thought possible. That`s the story I want families to remember years from now. #VallentynePhotography #NewbornPhotographer #FamilyConnection #CarlsbadStudioPhotographer #BabyPhotography #NorthCountySanDiego #NewbornPortraits #FamilyStory #OceansidePhotographer
