Newborns

- Hillary H.


I just had a baby and wanted to capture the happiness and joy my family was experiencing. A friend posted family pictures taken with Robin on Facebook and they were so beautiful. They gave me the courage to reach out and schedule a session with Robin just 2 months postpartum. I am so glad I did! Robin listened to my vision, agreed to take pictures at my home, and even helped style my family's wardrobe. The time spent with her was relaxed and she was so attentive to our needs, especially my very energetic 9-year-old and my baby during her nap time. Robin calmed my nerves and went with the flow, encouraging us to do whatever we needed to do and all the while capturing beautiful moments. I will treasure the pictures for many years and am so grateful Robin was able to capture our joy and personalities. Also, she was so great with our dogs!!! She brought them treats and was so relaxed even though the are big. She even worked them into some of the pictures.

Whether this is your first or fifth baby, an adoption or even a rainbow baby, I am excited for you.

 My lifestyle newborn sessions capture all the special moments of you and your family loving on your baby plus all of baby’s sweet details. These sessions take place mid-morning in the comfort of your home, last about two hours and are built completely around baby’s needs.

I want you to be thrilled with your San Diego newborn photography session from start to finish-- that means from our first "meet" all the way to you sitting back and admiring your photos on the wall! I find the ideal time for scheduling newborn sessions is when baby is less than two weeks old so we capture all the newness from flakey skin to wrinkles.

I invite you to browse the featured galleries for a sense of my photography style and how much of a wonderful time we'll have together!

So you’re having a baby!

Your San Diego Newborn Photography Experience

DECORATE YOUR HOME WITH ARTWORK OF YOUR MOST IMPORTANT LOVED ONES

Did you know displaying your children’s photos boosts their self esteem? I believe your images should be printed and sprinkled around the home for everyone to enjoy. I want these images to remind you of your milestone and the special time you had in making them. Every. Single. Day. The images I create for you mean nothing if they sit on a hard drive not being viewed. My goal is to provide an easy, premium experience with value built in. It can be daunting to receive a gallery of 50+ images then figure out what to do with them. I value the art I create for you. I help you select the prints and products you are going to love today, then pass down to future generations. In fact, you’ll receive custom wall art, heirloom prints and/or albums just a few weeks after your session.

Reach out through the contact form to get started. Tell me what you are hoping to capture and about your vision. I’ll take it from there to set up a brief phone call so we can ‘meet’ plus review all session details including investment.

Say Hello

one
We begin with a 20-minute phone call to make sure how I can best serve you and plan the session of your dreams. We discuss wardrobe styling and if there was anything symbolic from your pregnancy journey you would like to convey. And since these sessions take place in your home, we will chat about the places within your home we will photograph. I thoroughly review the booking process and pricing so you have a strong sense of how much value is included with my collections. I’ll follow up this call with a contract and questionnaire so I can better know you and customize the session specifically to your vision.

THE CONSULTATION

This is the best part! The part where you relax and I make you feel like the special mama you are. The main focus will be on your love for baby but I also ensure that older siblings feel special, too. I will guide you along to keep you feeling comfortable in front of the camera while you enjoy your portrait session. Newborn sessions last about two hours and take place in the comfort of your own home. The pace is slow and older siblings are welcome to wander in and out of the session based upon their mood and ages.

YOUR SESSION

About three weeks after your session we will meet for your purchasing appointment. This takes place in my office and gives you time to view your gallery of hand edited, artful images. You will be able to see all the print products I offer, and place your order. As a full service newborn photographer, I offer the most beautiful quality prints, photo albums, canvas and metal wall art, announcements and digital files. And rest assured, I keep tissues on hand because just about everyone cries when they see their photos.

YOUR PURCHASING APPOINTMENT

I know that you cannot WAIT to see your photos so this is the next best part! Where you don't have to worry about finding time to print your images or decide where to print because it's done and now you can display your beautiful photographs in your home.  All prints ordered will be ready in 4 to 5 weeks and digital files purchased will be available the same day. Just imagine having all this done for you with no to-do list.
