Older Newborn Session with a 6-Week-Old Baby Boy

apot1976 — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 04:12:49 +0000

Can you still do newborn photos with an older baby? I get this question asked a lot...and the answer is yes! An older baby's newborn photography shoot done outdoors is a great way to capture the beauty and innocence of your new baby. There are lots of reasons why you may miss that initial three week window and still want the newborn "style" of images for your new baby. With the right location and lighting, we can still create stunning images that you will cherish for years to come.

This baby was 6 weeks old at the time of his shoot. Babies this age can't bend as easily and don't like to be handled as much as a 2-week-old so the posing and props I use are much more simple for these shoots. But boy, this guy aced his session and slept nearly the entire time! He woke up at the very end just in time for me to capture a few open eyed photos.

Many babies find being outdoors more comfortable than being indoors. The fresh air and sunshine can help to calm and soothe them.

If you're looking for beautiful, natural photos of your newborn, an older baby newborn style photography shoot done outdoors is still a great option. Even with simple props and posing, we can still create stunning images that you will cherish for years to come.

Sherman Oaks Outdoor Cake Smash Session

apot1976 — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 18:32:38 +0000

We have had a very cold, crazy, and wet winter in Los Angeles this winter. Luckily, we had a random warm President's Day just in time for this little one's cake smash session. Just a few days later, it snowed all over Southern California, including Los Angeles! Thanks to all of the rain, all signs are pointing to a lush super bloom this Spring with hints of wildflowers just starting to pop up. The little pops of colors, coupled with the gorgeous golden hour sunlight, provided a dreamy little setting perfect for this cake smash session. We started out by doing a few family and sibling portraits, followed by a sunset cake smash at the very end.

This cut-your-own Christmas tree farm has quickly become one of my favorite locations for family mini sessions during the holidays. With Christmas music filling the air, we have a blast with a few holiday props and fake snow. Its hard to believe that these were all taken the same week as Halloween!

This Sherman Oaks / Van Nuys park was my most requested location for the fall season. And for good reason. It has the absolute best light! So even when a toddler is being "a toddler," the magical light makes every photo so totally dreamy looking.

Spring Wildflowers in the San Fernando Valley

apot1976 — Tue, 31 May 2022 17:31:00 +0000

This Spring, the wild mustard flowers were on full display in the San Fernando Valley. The vibrant yellow flowers provided the most magical backdrop for Spring photos. I photographed several families here, and did a number of children's mini sessions over the span of about eight weeks. These yellow wildflowers may look like weeds to some people, but they are gorgeous for Spring themed photos. Here are just a few of my favorites.
