Our studio is designed specifically for newborn photography — warm, quiet, clean, and fully equipped so parents can relax while we focus on creating meaningful images of your baby’s earliest days. With over a decade of experience photographing newborns, we are often lovingly referred to by our clients as “baby whisperers,” known for our gentle approach and ability to keep babies comfortable, safe, and settled throughout the session.
We proudly serve Irvine families looking for classic, elegant newborn photography with the option to personalize their session in a way that feels authentic to them.
Luxury Studio Newborn Photography in Irvine, CA
Our newborn sessions take place in our private Irvine photography studio, which is kept warm and cozy to ensure your baby’s comfort at all times. The studio is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before every session, and we maintain the ideal temperature for newborns to remain relaxed and sleepy.
Safety is always our top priority. Every pose is done gently and naturally, following safe newborn-photography practices, and your baby is never rushed or forced into uncomfortable positions. Sessions are calm, unhurried, and paced entirely around your baby’s needs — whether that means feeding breaks, soothing, or extra cuddles.
Parents often tell us how surprised they are by how peaceful the experience feels. Our goal is for you to enjoy this time while trusting that your baby is in experienced, caring hands.
A Thoughtfully Designed Newborn Experience
Our custom newborn sessions are designed to be fully guided from start to finish. Sessions typically last three to four hours, allowing ample time for feeding, soothing, and capturing a variety of beautiful looks without stress.
We provide all outfits, wraps, headpieces, and setups shown in our portfolio, carefully curated to create a cohesive and timeless look. Neutral tones, soft textures, and classic styling ensure that your images remain beautiful for generations.
While everything you see in our portfolio is available to you, we also welcome meaningful personal touches. Some parents choose to bring:
A handmade blanket from a grandparent
A family heirloom
A special stuffed animal
A wedding veil or sentimental fabric
These items are thoughtfully incorporated when appropriate, creating portraits that are not only beautiful but deeply personal.
Classic and Personalized Newborn Portraits
We believe that newborn photography should feel timeless first — with the option to personalize.
Our sessions always include classic newborn portraits, focusing on your baby’s features, tiny details, and natural expressions. In addition, many families choose to include personalized setups that reflect their interests or family story.
Popular requests include:
Sports-inspired newborn portraits (such as Dodgers, Angels, or Yankees themes)
Subtle Disney-inspired setups including Toy Story, Winnie the Pooh, or princess themes
Color palettes or styling preferences that complement your home
These elements are always styled tastefully and remain secondary to your baby, ensuring the focus stays on what matters most.

When Should You Book Your Newborn Photography Session?
Newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first 7–14 days after birth, when babies are naturally sleepier and curl more easily. Because babies arrive on their own schedule, we book sessions by due date, allowing flexibility once your baby is born.
If your baby arrives early or later than expected, we simply adjust your session date accordingly. Our priority is accommodating your family while capturing this fleeting stage safely and beautifully.
Newborn Photography Collections
Our newborn photography experience is fully custom, with collections designed to fit a variety of needs. Clients typically invest in a combination of:
Fine-art albums
Wall art and framed prints
Digital image collections
Every family is guided through a personalized image selection appointment, ensuring you choose artwork you truly love and will display in your home.
