San Diego Newborn Photographer {In-Home Newborn Session}

I love working with families over several sessions where I can see their children and families grow, and this session is with one of my favorites! They are the sweetest family, and I love their style and always love the way our sessions come out! This is definitely one of my favorite newborn sessions, I loved working with big brother who was very sweet to his new little sister!

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most precious moments, and an in-home newborn session allows you to capture those fleeting early days with comfort and ease. As a San Diego newborn photographer, I specialize in relaxed, lifestyle sessions that showcase your baby’s sweet details, cozy snuggles, and the love your family shares—all in the warmth of your own home. No need to pack a diaper bag or rush out the door; I bring everything needed to create timeless, natural portraits right where you make your first memories together. Whether you’re in Carlsbad, La Jolla, or anywhere in San Diego County, I’ll help you preserve these moments beautifully.

Here are some of my favorite photos from our in-home newborn session in San Diego, enjoy!

Honestly? They barely noticed I was there. So in love!!

Just two people, wildly into each other,
cracking up on the beach like it’s the only place that matters.

10/10 would third wheel again.

A wild little laugh, some flying baby limbs, and a dad who’s all in. These are the moments you can’t plan, and honestly, why would you?

Just two people and a whole new chapter rolling in with the tide.
No shoes. No stress.
Just soaking it in before everything changes.
