I'm Michelle
Because you shouldn’t have to choose just one moment to remember, this is your way to hold on to the whole story.
Because some moments are meant to be seen as they unfold, movement, emotion, and the beauty of this season, just as it was.
This dreamy newborn session was held at our North County, San Diego newborn photography studio. The studio is filled with abundant, soft natural light, and warm neutrals. Our newborn photography studio is the perfect space to capture your new baby! We have everything you need ready and waiting for you which makes your newborn photo session a breeze!
We pride ourselves on providing a luxury portrait session for all of our clients! We take care of everything for you, so you can spend time where it matters most- loving on your new sweet babe! We have an extensive line of curated dresses and outfits for both moms and little ones to make styling your session a breeze. We also offer hair & make-up services to make you look & feel gorgeous in front of the camera.
I adore capturing those sweet photos of new siblings together! Holding baby for the first time, sweet kisses and suggles, and loving on their new baby! But let’s be real, it can also be tricky capturing siblings, especially younger ones, with their new baby brother or sister. Rest assured, I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to capture a few sweet shots of siblings together even with the most challenging little ones!
Our Collective Membership is the most popular option for expecting clients to document baby’s first year. Baby’s grow so quickly in the first year of life. Choose between 3 or 4 sessions to capture all of the beautiful seasons and milestones as your baby grows. It is so lovely to have all of these milestones documented beautifully for you to cherish for years to come.
If you’re expecting a baby, contact me for more details about booking your maternity & newborn session! I would be honored to capture this beautiful season! It’s never too early to reach out. I am typically booked 2-3 months in advance, but occasionally have last minute availability.
