Baby Charlotte is Here! | San Diego Newborn Photography

Baby Charlotte made her entrance! Madison is officially a big sister! It seems like just yesterday that I was in this same house taking Madison’s newborn pictures and now they are a family of 4. Charlotte did great, especially since she was a little bigger than we normally do newborn pictures at since our photoshoot was postponed due to a sick big sister. But Charlotte still chose moments to sleep and let us get some of those sweet newborn pictures.

Letisha and Chase, I am excited for you to be able to add some of these images to your wall. I hope you love them!

Baby Emma Newborn Session

Baby Emma was a baby that was long prayed for. After having the first daughter, Jaz and Ulysses tried for many years to get pregnant again but were unable. Then, when they least expected it, their prayers were answered and Baby Emma was on the way. This pregnancy had its challenges as the majority of it took place during the Coronavirus quarantines, but Emma arrived, a little late, but big and healthy. This was the first shoot I did since the quarantine started, and it felt so good to behind the camera again. Like an old friend.

Baby Penelope Newborn Session

Going back in time here a bit, Penelope is a big one year old now but she was the sweetest little newborn. I always say that newborn shoots are the hardest of all types of photography but I have to say, Penelope was probably the easiest of all the newborn shoots I have done. She did exactly what we needed- slept pretty much the whole time.

I love watching Liz as a mom- she rocks it. Not only is she a hot mama but she is raising one strong, independent woman that could conquer the world, because that is exactly what Liz is teaching her. Liz is also so stylish, making her family even more fun to photograph. And Trent is the perfect support for her, super chill and go with the flow and always a sport when it comes to taking pictures. You have no idea how much easier that makes my job.

Since this photoshoot I have shot pictures of their little family many times. But these still are some of my favorites!

Lucas Newborn Session

As many of you know, in addition to being a photographer, I am also a teacher. Linda was one of my partner teachers that taught 6th grade with me. When we worked together she was my partner in crime. Lots of late night texting, early morning meetings, and everything in between. When you are a teacher, it isn’t just part of your life, it is your life- so it is no surprise that the people you work with are often times more than just co-workers. They are friends. That is what Linda is- a friend that I feel 100% comfortable being myself with, that is a special gift.

So when I found out that Linda was pregnant I knew I would love this little baby. And of course the moment I met him I loved him already. He is so sweet and so little. Already I wanted to freeze time for Linda and Justin, because I know how fast this time goes.

Soak it in friend, every moment. Hold him close, let him sleep in your arms- do all the things they tell you not to because the season is going to go way too fast. I can’t wait to watch Lucas grow. I am so happy for you friend! And P.S. Justin you did absolutely great- as far as husbands and pictures go you are one of the good ones! ;)
