Organizing Your Photos - My Favorite Resources for the Modern Momma
Photos should be treasured!
I believe in having both digital backups and physical prints of your images. After having Kaizen, I’ve tried my best to create systems that allow me to have multiple backups of images both in printed and digital form. I’ve heard from so many other moms that the struggle is real. It’s hard to know what to do with your images especially after getting them back from a professional photographer. I hear you momma! That is why I’m working hard to create lots of resources for you on this particular topic!
Snoo Smart Sleeper Review, And How To Get One For a Fraction of the Price
Buying the SNOO for baby Kaizen was one of the best baby investments to date!
Today let’s see if it could be the best investments for your family too.
Since sharing photos of Kaizen online in his SNOO, we’re asked frequently about how we like the SNOO and if it was worth the higher price tag.

Modern Baby Book Inspiration - California Newborn Photographer
Before having my son Kaizen in December 2019, I was on the hunt for a modern baby book that would preserve all his sweet memories without overwhelming myself with this task. My mom did an amazing job writing and keeping track of every milestone for my brothers. She did this without a fancy camera, the internet or pre-made baby books. I admired her diligence and the way she intentionally put time aside to remember each season. As a photographer, preserving memories is already such a high honor and I knew I wanted to be intentional about this for our own son and future children.

The Best Time to Schedule Newborn Photos - Chico Baby Photographer
Congratulations on this new exciting season you and your family are entering into. There can be a lot of firsts, unknown questions when it comes to newborn photography. If you know for sure you want to have a home lifestyle newborn photo session, I highly suggest reaching out before your baby is born. Many newborn photographers book up months in advance. Contacting a photographer way before allows you to rest assured this sweet season will be captured. You don’t have to frantically contact every newborn photographer you know seeing if they have an openings. After bringing your sweet baby home, you’ll want to relax and not worry about scheduling one extra thing. Take care of that in advance. For newborn photography, I always pencil in a potential date for the photo session and adjust accordingly once your baby is here.
Newborn Photographer Chico Ca - Preparing for your home newborn session
Home newborn sessions are my favorite for so many reasons. Mainly because it’s convenient for you. It’s the spaces you raise your little ones. Homes come in all shapes and sizes. Decoration styles vary and that's the beauty of shooting in different people's homes. Every space is new. It has your personal touches throughout which makes these sessions highly personalized from the start.
