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.
As a San Diego newborn photographer, I am blessed to capture the beginning of a new chapter in so many families’ lives. You will never forget that first moment you laid eyes on your newborn baby. This is such an incredibly special moment in your life whether it be your first or your fifth baby. As much as we wish we could pause this moment in time and keep them tiny forever, they grow up and it happens so very quickly. While these precious moments are fleeting, these images are yours to cherish forever. In years to come, these images will take you back in time to when they were oh so teeny tiny and let you relive their sweet smell, their touch, and their pure innocence of being a newborn. These are your images to cherish forever.
My newborn photography style is to capture newborns in their very first days of life through a combination of naturally posed and lifestyle shots. I strive to capture all the teeny tiny details from their squishy lips, and soft wisps of hair, to their tiny hands and feet. I also aim to capture the natural and intimate first moments with you and your baby. My goal for a newborn photography session is to capture this precious moment in time and tell a story- a story of joy, love, and all the emotions felt with this newest tiny addition to the family.
