First thing I’d like to see more of in 2024? Your babies. I love babies. I love photographing babies. Babies are the best there is absolutely nothing better and I would really appreciate it if I could PLEASE JUST HOLD YOUR BABY in 2024! ☺︎

Today, our spotlight is on newborn photoshoots. Wondering when's the perfect time to schedule one? How to prepare? I got you!

But before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let me share some of my favorites from Bucky’s first year.

  • Baby Cats of California; Kids Tiger Tee. ‘Gender neutral clothes for kids & adults’… WE LOVE TO SEE IT. I found this brand at West Coast Craft and imma need to buy him an updated size AND a matching one for moi.

More about Baby Cats of California - A print designer by trade, cat mom/kid mom Kat founded Baby Cats when she discovered a lack of gender-neutral clothes for her son. With her love of bright colors and happy prints, Baby Cats celebrates cat lovers and kids of all ages (adults included!). 🐯

  • Rad River Co Five Panel Hat. Who doesn’t love a little baby in a real hat?

  • Lou Lou & Company has baby essentials in. Every. Color. On. Earth. Get a swaddle blanket with matching Pixie bonnet for unlimited laughs.

  • Burt’s Bees on a target trip was just a give-in. We still buy them exclusively for our non fleece PJs. Patterns for every occasion! Pro tip: amazon (ugh I know) has the best sold out patterns Y’ALL.

  • Crocs, obviously. Watch out for sweaty feet or, be like us and go full crocs with socks. We’re a crocs with socks family.


WHEN TO INQUIRE ABOUT BOOKING A NEWBORN SESSION?

My newborn sessions are as flexible as they come. Typically scheduled within 7-14 days after your due date, I understand babies operate on their own timeline. No worries – these sessions are easily moved around. Book your newborn session anytime after you know your due date.
