About Your Newborn Photographer in the Bay Area

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a newborn photographer in the Bay Area and mom of five. With five loud and energetic boys, I understand the beauty and chaos of family life and how much care it takes to bring everyone together.

That experience shapes the way I photograph families. I create sessions that feel easy, calm, and natural—embracing the movement, noise, and unpredictability as it unfolds. Rather than perfectly posing, I gently guide and allow kids to be kids, creating space for real connection so your session feels relaxed, unforced, and truly reflective of your family.

When the experience feels simple and unrushed, it leaves room for the moments that matter most—the ones that slip by before you realize how quickly they’re gone. From the tiny newborn days to first smiles, first steps, and all the in-between moments, childhood unfolds in a beautiful blur. As a newborn photographer in the Bay Area and a mother myself, I’ve felt firsthand how fleeting these seasons are. Photography allows me to preserve those everyday moments—so you can return to the feelings, the closeness, and the love long after the moment has passed.

Specializing in printed fine art, I aim to create stunning pieces that grace the walls of homes, bringing you back to these moments as you walk through your home every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

For the best results, ideally, your baby should be between 5 and 10 days old. During this period, they are typically very sleepy and easier to pose. 

However, if your baby is older, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I regularly photograph older babies and am happy to accommodate last-minute bookings when available.

Please schedule your newborn portrait session before your baby arrives, if possible. This allows me to photograph your baby at the ideal age of 5 to 10 days old.

Due to the unpredictable timing of newborn sessions, and to make sure I have availability when your newborn arrives, I accept a very limited number of newborn sessions each month. Please book your session as early as possible to secure your due date. I will do my best to accommodate late bookings if my schedule allows.

Newborn sessions can be done in your home, outdoors, or in my studio in Alameda. I provide a thoughtfully curated collection of blankets, wraps, props, headbands, and accessories, so you don’t need to worry about outfits or details. This session is all about helping you relax while I capture these precious early moments.

We follow your babies cues, and take all the time we need to make sure your baby is happy and comfortable throughout the session. We leave plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, cuddling and soothing to ensure a relaxed session. Most sessions typically last around 1 to 2 hours.

Yes! I encourage siblings and parents to be part of the session. The arrival of a new family member is such a special time, and I love involving the whole family in this important milestone.

The health and safety of your newborn are my highest priorities. As a fellow parent, I fully understand the importance of protecting a newborn’s delicate immune system. I take rigorous steps to ensure my studio and props are thoroughly clean and sanitized. If either the photographer or client is unwell, we will promptly reschedule the session to maintain a safe environment.

I am dedicated to safeguarding your baby’s well-being at all times. This means I avoid using unsafe poses or unstable props. Each pose is carefully designed to be both simple and comfortable, ensuring a secure and pleasant experience for your precious little one.
