As a mom and newborn photographer, I’ll be honest—there’s something incredibly special about photographing a family in their own home. These in-home newborn photos in San Francisco were taken just days after this sweet baby came home—and just a few weeks before the family moved out of this apartment. Life moves quickly, especially in a city like San Francisco, but your photos can freeze this exact moment: the cozy corners, the nursery you spent months on, the first place you rocked your baby to sleep. You won’t live here forever, but you’ll always have this memory captured beautifully.

Fresh 48 sessions are such a beautiful way to remember your baby’s first hours—little stretches, sleepy yawns, and the moment you realize they’re really here. I shoot these at CMPC, UCSF, Marin General, and Kaiser, and I’ll work around your recovery, whether that means gently posing you from the hospital bed or waiting until day 3 after a C-section. The session includes photos of your baby alone, being held, close-ups of tiny details, full family shots, and sibling moments too—though we keep sibling photos simple and safe. These sessions are perfect for capturing raw, emotional, real-life memories—no need to bring anything but yourselves.

Thinking about DIY newborn photos? While snapping pics at home seems easy, newborns are unpredictable, lighting is tricky, and editing takes skill. I offer stress-free Fresh 48, In-Home, and Sausalito Studio sessions to capture timeless, beautiful images—so you can enjoy the moment instead.
