Newborn Session | Thanksgiving Baby | San Diego, CA

Having three sons is like having an unpredictable roller coaster ride. There’s never a dull moment, and you never know what’s going to happen next. One minute they’re playing video games and the next they’re off on some wild adventure - You are guaranteed to have a huge grocery bill!

When it comes to sports and activities, having only sons can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s great to have them all playing soccer or basketball together. On the other hand, it can be a bit overwhelming to try and wrangle them all into one place at the same time.

Life with three sons is a lot of fun. It can be chaotic at times but it’s always full of laughter and joy. So if you’re a parent of three sons, just remember to buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Here are a few photos of all three brothers together and some with dad.

What is a Fresh 48 Session and why schedule one?

A fresh 48 is a session done in the hospital after baby is born but before you leave the hospital. They care called “Fresh 48” because they are captured within the first 48 hours of life to capture the details of a fresh babe. These precious sessions document the details of you and your significant other as you bond with your new baby. From documenting tiny little feet and ankle bracelets, to siblings meeting their baby brother or sister for the FIRST time, the authentic connection and emotion captured during this time will bring you to tears of joy every time you look at your Fresh 48 session.

Choosing Posed Studio Newborn and In Home Lifestyle

There are lots of different styles, locations, props, and even editing when it comes to newborn photography and it's up to you to decide what's right for your family!

In my opinion, nothing is more beautiful than keeping things real, natural, and stress-free. After all, precious moments and family interactions are what you really want to preserve with the camera. Natural poses are also better for safety concerns with minimal risks involved and very hands off (important with recent pandemic talk).

If you’re wondering how to pose naturally with your baby, these stress-free poses will help guide you.

The beauty of lifestyle sessions with older siblings, is that the whole session is ‘go with the flow’. There are no expectations on them to behave or be still and that's totalllyyy okay. In this shoot, I took advantage of the gorgeous window light! We stayed in the living room by request but we're able to get so many great images. Check out the review I received and some photos from the session below.
