Look who came back! As Visalia's premier newborn photographer I love when our newborn clients return to celebrate their baby's first birthday with us.  It's always fun to see how much they've grown and what milestones they've made. When Miss Felicity visited for her portrait session she was crawling and standing assisted as captured in the candid photo of her holding onto mama's hands. You may think you only want a cake smash, however I always recommend taking a few classic photos focusing on your baby to capture their personality and facial expressions without the distraction of a cake.  If you'd like to add a cake at the end of your session it is best that parents provide ...

As a newborn photographer in Visalia, California I am honored when parents choose to return for another newborn session when a new baby joins their family.  Miranda's parents chose to capture a few family portraits and even included her 2 year old sibling.  Both girls did amazing and it was fun capturing the gentle and loving interactions between these new siblings.  The sisterly bond is already strong and I'm sure they'll both treasure these beautiful moments I caught as they continue to grow up together.  Thanks to their Mom and Dad for returning and allowing me to share in capturing this precious memories that will soon become their most treasured family ...

As a portrait artist I appreciate when my clients trust my creative vision.  For Daniel and Samantha's maternity session I utilized the beautiful natural light in my studio.  The white walls and white curtains truly created beautiful light and added to this expecting mama's pregnancy glow.  Whatever your style is, as a professional I have the knowledge and training to work with both natural lighting and studio lighting.  I can't wait for baby girl to arrive and I think I'll incorporate natural light into her session as well.   If you're expecting a baby, consider adding a maternity session to capture where your story began.  Your baby will grow and ...
