viewing and ordering appointment
Newborn sessions are up to three hours long in my natural light studio located in Mission Viejo, Orange County, or in the comfort of your home. The whole family is welcome to participate!
Studio newborn sessions typically take place mid-morning to take advantage of the natural, soft lighting.

There's already so much you have to think of. I provide everything–outfits, blankets and props!

I know first-hand, as a newborn mom, the last thing you want to have to think about in those first few weeks is doing your hair and makeup - so let me take care of that for you with my in-house, professional HMUA to get you looking and feeling your best!

Being a newborn parent can be exhausting - I get it! My desire is to take away the stress that usually accompanies planning a photo session so all you have to do is show up and enjoy cuddles with your newest addition!

"Sara was such a delight to work with! My daughter was a complete nightmare the entire time and Sara handled it like it was just another day in paradise! As a photographer myself I was panicking on the inside knowing the photos were going to be a complete mess and when I opened my delivered gallery I wanted to cry...I stared at the most beautiful images of my sweet girl for hours!
Still some of my favorite photos ever taken of her, I can't thank Sara enough!"

“I’ve had the wonderful experience of having Sara photograph newborn pictures of both my kids, maternity, and family pictures. Sara is so sweet and works well with families who have sassy toddlers.
We have loved having her photograph big moments for our family. As a mom of a toddler and newborn, it’s difficult to find the right clothes and time to get ready for a shoot. Sara makes it easy and provides a beautiful wardrobe to choose from for the mom, kids, and newborn.”
KIND WORDS
There is a $200 booking fee due upon getting your session on my calendar. After that, additional payment is made at the ordering appointment when you choose your images and products.
Is there a deposit?
Images come separately from your session fee. This way you get to choose exactly how much you’d like to spend and which images you receive! At your ordering appointment, we will go through your images together and you can choose 12, 18 or all of the images!
How many images are included with my package?
Yes! There are lots of beautiful locations around Orange County, and whether it’s beach, or greenery you’re wanting, I have suggestions for both!
I’m not familiar with places to photograph, do you have suggestions?
Yes! I love photographing the whole family loving on the newest little addition.
Can family join the newborn session?
I will have your photos ready for your viewing appointment 1-2 weeks after your session!
