BABY AND NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

Capture the real, intimate moments of your baby’s earliest days with documentary-style newborn photography. These sessions are quiet, relaxed, and completely focused on your family’s connection—no stiff poses, studio lights, or unnatural props. Gina specializes in peaceful, in-home newborn photography that documents your life as it truly is during this fleeting stage. From the way your baby curls into your chest to the soft light coming through the nursery window, these images are about preserving the emotion and beauty of your everyday.

The best time to photograph a newborn is within the first month, ideally during the first two weeks. Babies at this age are still very sleepy and curled up from life in the womb, and they’re often more content being held or swaddled. This makes it a perfect window to capture all the tiny, delicate details—fuzzy shoulders, wrinkly toes, milk-drunk yawns—and the quiet joy of bringing a new life home.

But the magic doesn’t end there. Around six months old, when babies begin to sit up, laugh out loud, and show off that irresistible baby chub, it’s an amazing time for a milestone session. This age is full of emerging personality and curious expressions. It’s also a time when they’re easier to photograph—alert, smiley, and generally thrilled to be the center of attention. Gina’s documentary approach ensures that the photos reflect your baby’s true spirit and your connection as a family, with plenty of candid moments that feel as real as they are beautiful.

By nine months, babies are often crawling, grabbing everything in sight, and starting to explore their world with a new sense of independence. It’s a joyful, in-between moment—full of movement, wonder, and a whole lot of personality. Their expressions are animated, their giggles contagious, and their eyes full of curiosity. These sessions are playful, spontaneous, and a great way to capture their emerging sense of self.

Then comes the one-year mark—a big milestone worth celebrating. Whether your baby is standing, taking first steps, or diving face-first into their first birthday cake, this age is bursting with energy and charm. One-year sessions are a beautiful way to mark how far you’ve come together, and Gina’s natural, moment-driven style captures the love, pride, and joyful chaos of life with a toddler on the move.

Whether you’re based in Marin County or searching for an experienced photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, Gina offers sessions that are warm, personal, and rooted in authenticity. These stages pass in the blink of an eye—let’s slow it down and create timeless images that celebrate your growing family, exactly as you are.
