Bay Area Newborn Photographer

Newborn

Newborn photography in the San Francisco Bay Area, relaxed and baby-led. Those early days with a newborn can feel like a blur—beautiful, emotional, and sometimes a little overwhelming.

I’ll guide you every step of the way, so you never have to wonder what to do or how things should look. There’s no pressure, no rush, just space for you to settle in and be together.
You can show up exactly as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.

I’ve worked with families in every stage—first-time parents, growing families, and everything in between—so whatever this season looks like for you, you’re in good hands.

Serving Alameda, East Bay, San Francisco, Palo Alto & the peninsula, and the greater Bay Area.

Your newborn, exactly as they are—new, tiny, and already so loved

I’ll guide you in choosing the best spaces in your home based on the available light, and every step of the way.

Newborn sessions are slow and baby-led, which means we follow your baby’s needs the entire time—feeding, soothing, cuddling, and pausing whenever needed.

You can simply show up and be together. I’ll guide everything else.

Before Your session

Within a few weeks, your gallery will be ready for you to view and download. These images are more than photographs—they are a way to hold onto the fleeting, tender moments of motherhood and family life. Pieces of your story, preserved for you to return to, year after year.

Cherish The Memory

When we meet, your only role is to be with the ones you love. Simply hold your babies, laugh together, and be present. I’ll gently guide you throughout the session, creating space for natural connection and authentic moments to unfold—so your images feel as beautiful as they are genuine.

Once your session is reserved, you’ll receive a carefully curated guide to help you feel fully prepared and at ease. From wardrobe styling to location planning, I’ll be there to guide you—so everything feels easy, natural, and beautifully aligned.

How it Works

"Rebecca did our newborn photos for baby #2. She was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way - she was so helpful planning out timing and rooms and gave advice on outfits to my sleep-deprived self with a newborn. Day of, she was timely and so patient as she helped us get comfortable in our home with our 2 daughters. Our 2 year old adored her - as any toddler parent knows, a photo shoot can be a big gamble with this age and Rebecca came up with so many games and little tricks to keep her excited and smiling. She captured some of our best photos of our toddler that we have. And I love how she really shoots lifestyle and captured our family how we are day-to-day while making everything look so beautiful and natural. Highly recommend booking her!" -Kacey and Maxime

"What a wonderful experience it was working with Rebecca for our newborn photoshoot. Rebecca made us feel very comfortable, not rushing us and making sure to capture both staged and candid photos. Juggling a newborn and a toddler, I was nervous to see what we really looked like in our photos, and they turned out even better than we had hoped. Rebecca really captured the warmth and love of our family, home and stage of our lives and we’re looking forward to working with her again!" -Sormeh & Danny

"Rebecca was wonderful to work with—so easygoing and professional. She captured beautiful photos of our family that we truly cherish. We’re so glad we did this session and now have such meaningful images of this special time in our lives with our kids." 
-Shayna and Tom

"Rebecca was so great with our 2 month old girl and was so patient between feedings and a nap that occurred during our session :) She captured all the cute baby toes, smiles and little family details that made our in home photoshoot so special. Our dog was included as well & somehow Rebecca got her to pose for a few pics while baby slept.Thanks Rebecca, we will see you for our next session ( perhaps with grandparents this time!)" -Jen & Dillon

Love Notes

Frequently Asked Questions

Newborn sessions are baby led, lifestyle focused and typically occur the first month. The sweet spot for those sleepy newborn photos is typically 7-14 days old. If that timeframe does not work for your family, you haven't missed your chance. Honor your family's timeline. Babies older than one month will offer more eye contact, connection and potentially sweet smiles.

When do newborn sessions occur?

Yes! I have two of my own, volunteer weekly in a school classroom of 3-5 year olds, was a former elementary volunteer and now primarily photograph younger families. While some children may need time to warm up to the camera, I know we will be able to capture memories you'll cherish during our session.  

ARE YOU EXPERIENCED WITH TODDLERS / young children? 

This is one of the most exciting times in your life! I love being able to capture the full story for your family. Your maternity session allows us to get to know each other before baby arrives! I do offer a "Bump to Baby" package, please let me know if you would like more information.

Do you offer a maternity and Newborn Package?

Newborn sessions most often take place in your home, however during warmer months may also be held at an outside location.

What location is best for my family?

Absolutely! I am a dog mom and would love to capture ALL of your family. Just be sure to give me a heads up so I know. Also please have treats ready and a plan that fits your dog's personality for when they aren't in photos.

Can my dog be in the photos?

Wardrobe greatly impacts the results of your images. I provide detailed tips on styling your family, and am available to help you coordinate outfits so everyone looks and feels beautifully in sync.

Do you offer styling?
