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.
Meet little Axton, who was welcomed into the world just a few short months ago! Newborn photography sessions are such a beautiful and surreal experience. Combine it with natural light and cozy swaddles in my San Elijo Hills home studio, and you’ll get the most dreamy photos of the newest addition to your forever family!
If there’s one thing all parents tell me they want during their baby’s newborn session, it’s to forever remember their newborn’s tiny and delicate features. Your little one is only this little for such a short amount of time, and they change so much within the first few months of their life. Capturing their squishy cheeks, the soft fall of their hair against their forehead, the way their eyes glimmer as they watch your smile, the tiny folds that appear when they curl their toes – these sweet, little details are what make up the life you’ve just welcomed into the world.
As a mama, I just want top bottle up all of those little memories of my boys when they were tiny babes! Remembering their first weeks with you within pictures is such a special keepsake to have.
Mom and dad really enjoyed some quiet time together as a new family of three while little Axton slept for most of the session. When he opened his eyes and looked up at his daddy, fond memories of my own babies being held close by their dad came flooding back. Those first few weeks of bonding are what really solidify the love you and your new baby share together. Documenting that love in timeless portraits allows that feeling to be forever remembered.
Photos of just your newborn are beautiful, but photos of you as new parents holding your newborn close are unparalleled. Capturing this amazing season in your life as your start your parenthood journey is the most precious way to remember how overflowing with love your hearts were with those “new mom and dad” feelings.
Cozy snuggles, Eskimo kisses, baby sighs, and natural poses are what encompassed this newborn session. Letting you do your thing as a new mama and dad are what makes newborn imagery unique to you alone!
I love being able to work with loving families and their adorable little ones! Using natural, organic lighting and settings is my favorite to highlight your new baby and wonder in their world! I would love to work with you to begin planning your newborn photo session, or your baby milestone portrait session! Contact me to book your complimentary consultation.
These photographs become treasures passed through generations. Your children will one day hold these images close, seeing themselves through your loving eyes and discovering the quiet grace that surrounded their earliest days.
