Those first few weeks are sleep depriving and patience testing–yet full of love and excitement for your new little person. Newborns are so special, and I love capturing this fleeting moment. It really does go by in a blink.

Afterwards, I go home and back up all of the photos in multiple places. From there, I sort and hand-edit the best photos. You can expect your final gallery in about three weeks. From your private gallery, you will be able to download digital files as well as shop for prints and albums if desired.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
Time to enjoy! I'll take care of making sure everyone looks good. As your Bay Area newborn photographer, I'll gently guide you through poses that will make you feel comfortable and beautiful. I know how uncomfortable it can be to have a stranger come to your home just days after you've given birth, and I will make it as easy as possible for you.
I bring a portable newborn posing table, a variety of backdrops and swaddles, and some optional headband bows for the baby girls.
We spend about half of the session capturing solo shots of baby, and the other half with the whole family–siblings and pets are more than welcome!
DURING YOUR SESSION
The ideal time to take newborn photos is between 8-12 days after birth. Of course, we can get some beautiful shots outside that window, too! To book your newborn photo session, a 50% non-refundable retainer is required. Since babies are unpredictable, we will plan your session around your due date, and then fine tune from there.
Shortly after booking your session, you will receive a style guide with recommendations on outfits, as well as tips for preparing for your session. I am available via phone, text, or video call to go over any questions you may have.

Audrey is not only an undeniable talent, she is warm, inviting, professional and easy to work with. My family and I are not particularly good at “posing” for photos, but Audrey sets the stage for a fun and easy experience and somehow captures the most beautiful, natural photos of us. We’ve had the pleasure of booking her several times (from a first birthday cake smash, to our second born’s newborn/family shoot most recently) and every time she creates absolute magic.
If you’re looking for a kind, warm-spirited, talented photographer who is especially good with young kids and babies, look no further. You’ve found them in Audrey!

We loved our photoshoot with Audrey! She was attentive and patient with our little one throughout the whole shoot. She was able to capture the little moments that we tend to overlook and our photos turned out so great. Very professional and courteous. You can tell she really enjoys working with families.

I have now had the pleasure of working with Audrey for two photo sessions, and would highly recommend her services. Not only is she very responsive and communicative leading up to the shoots, but she is so warm and friendly and she really puts you at ease during the shoots as well. As an added bonus, her turn around time for sending photo galleries is really quick - I was shocked both times how quickly we had our finished photos in hand. We are so happy to have found her!

If you are looking for a photographer to capture beautiful family milestones, look no further, Audrey is the BEST. We had a newborn photo session with her and it was such a pleasant and amazing experience!
She has an eye for capturing the perfect moment and also knows exactly how to handle little kids as she is also a mom of a young child. (My 2 yr old daughter is usually very shy with meeting new people but she opened up to her right away! )
Super quick turnaround, great communication and BEAUTIFUL photos! We absolutely love how our photos came out!!! Highly recommend Audrey to anyone who has small babies/kids!

Those hazy first few weeks of newborn life go by in a blink–I know from experience. In every newborn session, I capture as many little details as possible, from their tiny toenails and peach fuzz on their back, to the way their parents look at their tiny wonder.

newborn photography questions
I recommend booking your session during your second or third trimester. This ensures space in my calendar and allows us to begin planning all the details in advance. Once your baby arrives, we’ll confirm a session date based on their actual birthday.
The ideal window for newborn portraits is between 8 to 12 days old, when babies are typically sleepiest and most curled up. That said, beautiful newborn images are possible up to 6 weeks and beyond — especially with a lifestyle approach. I’ll gently guide you based on your baby’s arrival and needs.
That’s completely normal. I’ve worked with so many babies and am patient, calm, and trained in soothing techniques. Whether your little one sleeps peacefully or stays awake and curious, we’ll capture their unique personality.
No, I do not offer mini newborn sessions. In order for me to be able to get the most natural, beautiful photos of your family, I need the full 2-hour window. However, if you want a regular family session, you can book one of those, as I offer shorter sessions in that case!
Babies rarely arrive on their due date — and that’s okay. I reserve space in my calendar to remain flexible and adjust as needed. Once you deliver, simply reach out and we’ll finalize your session date.
Absolutely! Some of the most heartfelt images are of parents and siblings with your new baby. I gently guide posing to capture natural connection and love. A styling guide is provided to help you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.
I recommend soft neutrals, timeless textures, and avoiding bold patterns or logos. Think creams, taupes, soft pastels, or earthy tones. Once you book, you will receive my style and prep guides so you are prepared for your session
I understand that life with a newborn can be unpredictable. I offer flexibility for rescheduling due to early arrivals, illness, or postpartum recovery. Your comfort and safety are always my priority.
Yes — I believe your photographs deserve to be seen and cherished. I offer a collection of luxurious prints, albums, and museum-quality wall art to preserve these fleeting moments beautifully.
