Newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your Palo Alto home, where you and your baby can stay relaxed. There’s no need to pack or travel to a studio. Sessions are calm and natural, focusing on your baby and your connection as a family.
All digital images from your session are yours to keep.
Simple, natural newborn photography in your Palo Alto home
These sessions focus on simple and natural photographs of your newborn and your family. There are no props or elaborate setups, just honest images that reflect this stage of life in a clear and lasting way.
Many families choose in-home sessions because they prefer a quiet, private experience during the first weeks with their baby.

Most of the families I photograph in Palo Alto prefer a natural and understated style. They are not interested in themed setups or heavy posing. They want photographs that feel calm, thoughtful, and true to their family.
Sessions focus on your baby and your connection as a family. We use the light that already exists in your home and keep the environment relaxed and uncluttered.
You don’t need perfectly coordinated outfits or a perfectly prepared home. Simple, comfortable clothing works best and keeps the focus on your baby.
A Calm and Efficient Experience
Newborn sessions are scheduled with extra time so there is no pressure to rush. Most sessions last between one and a half to three hours depending on your baby’s needs.
Before the session, you’ll receive simple preparation guidance so we can make the most of the natural light in your home.
The process is straightforward and designed to be easy during a busy time.
Recent Palo Alto In-Home Newborn Sessions
I photograph newborn sessions throughout Palo Alto and the surrounding Peninsula. In-home sessions allow families to document this early stage in a way that feels natural and personal.
These sessions are designed for families who want simple, lasting photographs without the distraction of props or elaborate setups.
Do you bring props?
No. Sessions focus on natural photographs of your baby and family using your home as the setting.
What if my home isn’t perfect?
Homes do not need to be perfect. A few areas with natural light are all that’s needed.
When should we schedule?
Most newborn sessions take place within the first few weeks after birth, but sessions can happen anytime during the newborn stage.
