Carlsbad Newborn Photographer | Welcome Baby Eleanor

It was such an honor to photograph this lifestyle newborn session in their home in San Elijo Hills, Carlsbad, California. I am such a fan of San Elijo Hills in Carlsbad, California. It is a perfect haven for young families seeking a vibrant and community-focused lifestyle. This picturesque neighborhood offers top-rated schools, beautifully maintained parks, and miles of scenic trails, making it ideal for active, outdoor-loving families. With a charming town center that hosts local shops, restaurants, and regular family-friendly events, San Elijo Hills fosters a strong sense of community. The safe, welcoming environment, combined with its convenient location near beaches and major highways, makes it an exceptional place for young families to thrive and grow.

I have known this beautiful couple for years and it has been wonderful to watch their relationship grow, to attend their beautiful wedding, and now such an honor that they allowed me to come into their home to photograph this beautiful and intimate moment in their lives, the arrival of their new baby daughter, Eleanor. It was practically impossible to pick favorites from this beautiful session but here are some of the ones we loved most, enjoy!

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.
Love looks good on these two. ✨⁣

There’s something magical about the way newborns settle into sleep. Each baby has their own way of curling up or stretching out, and I love capturing those little details that make them them. 💛
A moment that changes everything.⁣

One second, you’re just two people in love. The next, you’re saying yes to forever. Let’s capture the joy, the surprise, the way your hands shake just a little—because this is a moment you’ll want to relive again and again.
