A Growing Family | San Francisco Newborn Photographer

One of the greatest joys of my work is getting to document families as they grow. I’ve had the privilege of photographing this beautiful family since the arrival of their first baby, and it was truly an honor when they reached out again to capture their newest little love. There’s something so special about seeing parents welcome another child—the deepening of their bond, the excitement of an older sibling, and the effortless love that fills their home.

This session was filled with warmth, connection, and pure love. No stress, just a relaxed atmosphere where this family could enjoy these early moments together. Their home was the perfect setting to capture natural, timeless images that reflect their journey as a growing family.

If you’re looking for a San Francisco or San Diego newborn photographer, I’d love to help you document your family’s story in an authentic and heartfelt way.

Marin Headlands Maternity Photos | San Francisco Family Photographer

A Windswept Maternity Session at Marin Headlands | San Francisco Maternity Photographer

It has been such an incredible privilege to document this beautiful family’s journey over the years. From their first newborn session in their Marina home, to celebrating their son’s first birthday photos, and now capturing their growing family once again as they prepare to welcome baby number two—moments like these remind me why I love what I do.

This Marin Headlands maternity session was truly breathtaking. With sweeping coastal views and golden California light, it was the perfect setting to honor this special season of life. While the wind added a bit of a challenge (and it wasn’t the warmest day!), it only added to the magic—flowing dresses, windswept hair, and a sense of raw, natural beauty.

BEST SAN FRANCISCO IN-HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | MARINA DISTRICT

A Full Circle Moment | San Francisco Newborn Photographer

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is getting to document a family’s journey over the years. This beautiful family and I go way back—I first met them when I photographed their first baby’s newborn session, and now, years later, I had the honor of capturing their second baby’s newborn session.

This session was extra special because big brother was there too—the same little one I once photographed as a newborn is now stepping into his new role with so much love and curiosity for his baby sister. Witnessing these full-circle moments, where I get to capture growing families through different seasons of life, is truly the heart of why I love what I do.

I had previously photographed this mama’s stunning maternity session at the Marin Headlands, and now seeing her hold her newborn daughter in her arms was simply magical. This SF Marina based family is filled with warmth, love, and effortless connection—everything that makes newborn photography so meaningful.

If you’re looking for a San Francisco newborn photographer to capture your family’s milestones in a timeless and heartfelt way, I’d love to connect.

Why You Should Hire an In-Home Newborn Photographer | San Francisco Newborn Photography

Why You Should Hire an In-Home Newborn Photographer | San Francisco Newborn Photography

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most beautiful milestones, and capturing those early days is something you’ll cherish forever. While there are many ways to document your newborn’s first moments, in-home newborn photography offers a unique, stress-free, and deeply personal experience.

If you’re wondering whether to hire an in-home baby photographer, here are some reasons why it might be the perfect choice for your family.

1. Comfort & Convenience for Your Family

One of the biggest benefits of an in-home newborn session is that you don’t have to leave your house. Those early days can be overwhelming, and the last thing you need is to pack up and travel to a studio. Instead, you get to stay in the comfort of your own space, where everything you need is within reach.

2. Capturing Your Baby’s First Home

Your home is where so many precious first memories are made. An in-home session beautifully documents your baby in their first environment, whether it’s their nursery, your cozy living room, or even those quiet moments in bed. These images will hold sentimental value as your child grows, reminding you of where it all began.

3. A Relaxed & Baby-Led Experience

Babies don’t follow a schedule, and that’s perfectly okay! In-home sessions are completely baby-led, meaning we take breaks for feeding, diaper changes, and snuggles as needed. There’s no rush—just a calm, natural approach that ensures your little one is comfortable and happy throughout the session.

4. Timeless, Natural Images

In-home photography allows for a more organic, lifestyle approach, capturing genuine moments of love and connection. Instead of posed, overly styled setups, the focus is on natural interactions—soft cuddles, tiny hands gripping fingers, and peaceful moments of bonding. These images feel timeless and authentic, reflecting the true essence of your family.

5. A Stress-Free Experience for Parents & Siblings

For families with older children, in-home sessions make it easier for siblings to participate without the pressure of a formal studio setting. They can take breaks, play with their toys, or snuggle up when they feel like it—creating real, heartfelt moments that feel effortless.

6. Personalized & Unique to Your Family

No two in-home sessions are the same because every home and every family is unique. Whether you have a sunlit nursery, a cozy reading nook, or a favorite couch where you spend hours rocking your baby to sleep—these details become part of your story. Your photos won’t look like anyone else’s because they are a true reflection of your family’s world.

If you’re looking for a San Francisco newborn photographer who can capture your baby’s earliest days in the comfort of your own home, I’d love to connect! My goal is to create beautiful, natural images that tell your family’s unique story in a way that feels effortless and meaningful.

Strolling under the Golden Gate Bridge | San Francisco Family Photographer

This family made a great decision to go with my portrait package last year. So I got to shoot with them twice now! Once for Jordyn’s in-home newborn photos, and the second time for their family portraits under the Golden Gate Bridge. We had such a great time strolling and capturing these great memories under the Golden Gate Bridge. Watching my little clients grow makes my heart so full! One of the biggest reasons I love being a family photographer. If you are debating on booking a portrait session, I really do recommend Watch Me Grow Package. You will not only save money but you’ll get to shoot with a photographer that you are already comfortable with! ⌄

3 REASONS TO CHOOSE LIFESTYLE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

DETAILS MATTER:

Unlike posed newborn photography, lifestyle newborn photography is not just about the sleeping babies, curled and molded into baskets; but it’s about the interactions and the love the parents feel for their new arrival. These sessions are where you can really get a true sense of family in their home. So I capture away those details. From an intimate hug between the mother and the baby to a lovely crib hanging that got gifted from a family friend.

YOUR HOME AS OUR BACKDROP:

One of the reasons I love lifestyle newborn sessions over the posed ones is I have the whole house as my backdrop instead of just a seamless paper. This gives me so much more room to work with! My job is to capture memories and I can’t think of a better place to capture those precious memories than baby's first home.

NO TIME FRAME:

When you schedule a lifestyle newborn session, the session can take place anytime within the first 7 weeks after the baby is born. Because the sessions are focused on interaction, the baby does not need to be under 10 days old in order to ensure their sleepy, squishy bodies can maintain curled positions. I’ve had some of my favorite sessions with babies 4 weeks and older.

Welcome Magnolia Thomas | San Diego Newborn Photographer

"A day in the life of the Thomas family… Ha ha let's be real I was sweating profusely, my husband was on his lunch break, Magnolia woke up with goopy eyes and the house was a mess 5 mins before Tumay arrived.  But Colbie, hundred percent herself except she would've preferred her frisbee be in every shot.

But honestly it felt so good to take a shower and put real clothes on. I love the way Tumay helped us capture these photos that portray our happy family and importantly, our first daughter Chloe was perfectly remembered in this session. We will forever cherish these days and we will have these photos to remind us of this special time." Jenn Thomas
