When Should You Schedule Your Newborn Session?
The best time to photograph newborn babies is when they are under two weeks of age, after two weeks babies are a little harder to settle and things like colic and baby acne can start to flare up. You can contact me at any time during your pregnancy to give me an estimated due date, I will then make a tentative booking and when you arrive home from hospital with your brand new baby you can contact me to arrange a suitable time and day for your session. I forgot to schedule a newborn session is it too late? It is never too late to have your baby photographed. It is important to manage expectations of a session. Curly sleepy newborn photos are never guaranteed but usually achieved with babies under 2 weeks. A 6- week baby may sleep during a session and have awake time, but may not be able to curl into womb positions or want to be wrapped. I do believe that generally babies can be successfully photographed at any age.

Some of my favorite photos from baby Carsten's newborn session. Her parents brought her to my Santa Clarita photo studio from Lancaster.
My newborn sessions are held in my studio in Santa Clarita, CA or in the comfort of your home. If the weather is warm enough and you are comfortable with the idea, we can take the session outdoors.

When you book your newborn session in advice you know you will get to have your session in the ideal time frame (7-14 days old) and not have to settle with your second or third choice photographer because I don't have space left in my schedule. Time moves so fast once your baby arrives. Shiloh in-home newborn photo session in Beverly Hills, CA / Santa Clarita Newborn Photographer10/16/2022 I love photographing this beautiful family! We've done many sessions together and it is an incredible honor to be trusted like this.
The best investment that you can do is doing a portrait session with the people you love. It an investment of which worth will only grow with time. As your babies grow and when it will be time to say goodbye, your family portraits will become the most valuable thing you own.

Lifestyle newborns sessions are relaxed, and natural. I come to your home for a two-hour session and capture those tender moments between your family and your newborn baby. These sessions are ideal if you have plenty of natural light flowing through the window of your home. I usually bring a few simple wraps, and headbands for your baby and ask parents to have some of their favorite outfits, and blankets ready for the session. ![]() It was in-home lifestyle newborn session in Santa Monica, CA. Maia's parents choose a combo ( lifestyle + poses) newborn session for her. Simple, light and all about the baby. Exactly how I like.
About My Business NameThe decision on how to name my photography business has been made during lunch at my previous job. Now I can talk about photography a lot, but in those days, at the beginning of my photography career, I talked about it nonstop. Suddenly, my manager and friend who I had lunch with, told me that I need my photography website…and we have to come up with the business name. How about ZOOMphotoraphy she asked me? Sounds not bad but it was already taken. Then it was ZAMphotoraphy first three letters of my last name …. also taken by a Texas guy (now we follow each other on Instagram) …. and then we came up with ZAMMphotoraphy maybe not a very fancy name but definitely a catchy one. I have some clients who told me that, since it was so easy to remember, they were able to found me after seeing my advertising on social media for six months.
How I made my start in a newborn photography / Baby Emilia Newborn Session in Santa Clarita, CA7/15/2020 My story about starting in photography is in All About Me site, but I want to share how I made my start in newborn photography. I always wanted to photograph babies but had no experience nor portfolio, and an amazing thing had happened: two of my friends and neighbors got pregnant 6 months apart. I remember my first newborn session as if it had happened today. Baby Lila was a month old and didn’t want to sleep at all. She was looking at me with her big and curious eyes and was really interested in what I was doing. I didn’t understand much what I was really doing even after watching hours of online newborn photography classes. When it was time for Lila's potty and she left it on my blanket, my friend asked me if I really wanted to do newborn photography. The soiled blanket didn’t discourage me. My answer was “yes”. My second baby was Samantha. She was also a one month old. I prepared this session thoroughly. If my first session with Lila lasted two hours ( this is how much time I had), Samantha’s session lasted two days for six hours each. Thanks to my friend, Samantha's patient mom, I got a lot of practice. Right now, both girls are 5 years old and, thanks to them, newborn photography become a big part of my life and my career.
I photographed baby Elon in November of 2019 in comfort of his very own home in West Hollywood, CA. He is a super cute 7 months old baby right now with the most adorable smile.
Newborn sessions are my favorite! I love coming into families home and photograph this sweet time in their lives!
This heart-melting lifestyle newborn session was in Santa Clarita, CA. This is the most adorable family with one sweet little boy and newborn baby girl. The newest member of the family is baby Wynter who is so sweet and her nursery is a dream of every little girl. My goal to help the family feel comfortable during a session with me. This is why I never rush my sessions so the family can get used to me and start to interact naturally as if I wasn’t even there. I’m very excited to share some of my favorite photos from Eva's newborn session. I usually don’t post this many images from one session, but I think it is so important for you to know, what you can expect from a session with me.
