Natural Light Newborn Photographer Chico California- Baby Luca

Little Luca, you are so sweet!

I met Renee and Jon-Mikkal at their beautiful home in Chico for their son’s newborn session. We started in their living room which had the most natural light and ended in Luca’s nursery with had such cute decor! I love personalizing sessions for each of my families and capturing moments that are meaningful to them.

Outdoor Mothers Day Mini Photo Session Chico California - Little Brandt

This past weekend, I photographed a handful of Motherhood photography session here in Chico. This was one of the session I’ve done in the past few weeks. I plan on offering these motherhood session in the future because they were so fun. Beyond the joy I felt, I truly feel these sessions are so important to have captured. As momma’s we are often the ones behind the camera capturing the moments of our children. We often forget to get in front of the camera and be IN the photos with our kiddos.

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.

Cozy Home Newborn Photography Chico Ca - BABY ATALIE

Kyle and Marek have a beautiful home here in Chico filled with personal touches everywhere you look. I love how they have photos throughout every season of their lives displayed on the walls like a walk down memory lane. I can just imagine as their kids grow,  looking at those images as a reminder of the bond their family shares. Family heirlooms in the form of photos are everywhere you look. This is such a powerful representation of the legacy of love we fully believe in when we're working with these sweet families.
