Capturing your baby’s first weeks should feel effortless. As a Berkeley newborn photographer, I create in-home sessions that highlight real moments, soft light, calm surroundings, and genuine family interactions. No props, no complicated setups, just your baby, your home, and your story.

Why In-Home Sessions Work for Berkeley Families

Berkeley homes often have bright, airy rooms with large windows, making natural light easy to work with. Photographing babies at home lets everyone relax and focus on the experience. Parents can take breaks, feed their baby, or simply enjoy watching these early days unfold, which results in timeless, authentic images.

Tips for a Smooth Berkeley Newborn Session

• Scout your brightest spaces — living rooms, nurseries, or sunlit corners work best.
• Use simple, neutral clothing to keep the focus on your baby.
• Keep the room warm and comfortable — this helps your newborn feel settled.
• Include parents and siblings — real connections make the photos meaningful.
• Let the session flow naturally — don’t stress over a rigid schedule; calmness shows in the images.

Berkeley Locations for Future Family Photos

Once your baby is a little older, outdoor portraits can add variety. Families enjoy serene spots like Tilden Park, Berkeley Marina, or César E. Chávez Park, all offering soft light and relaxed spaces. The UC Berkeley campus is also a favorite for timeless, architectural backgrounds.

As your Berkeley newborn photographer, my goal is to make each session calm, simple, and meaningful. You don’t need props, complicated setups, or stress, just natural, timeless images that capture your baby’s first days and your family’s connection.
