Is 20 minutes really enough time for a mini-session?
If you ask any of my clients that have had a mini-session with me, the answer will be a re-sounding YES.
My favorite way to photograph a newborn with older siblings is in a very candid and natural way. I start with letting the oldest children take turns holding the newborn, then get the younger siblings close by.
I met this sweet family at the Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes when they were visiting from out of state. They love staying at this resort…who wouldn’t! It’s so beautiful! And they had maternity photos taken several years earlier at this exact location.
So, we update the family photos now that the little babe in the tummy is now THREE! It was quite a cold and windy day, but the perfect place to walk the grounds. We tucked into all their favorite little nooks and of course spent some time down by the ocean.
The last little series of mom and daughter were taken on the bluff where she had taken maternity photos. Such a sweet way to document time.

This is a blog post about a gorgeous mama and a cute little boy and all the sweetness that happens between them. I love being able break from the family photos and get babies or kids with each parent. I feel like these are the special ones that they’ll have in a frame away at college. This is me and my mama.
Love.
Last year I photographed this family in Santa Monica, surrounded by loads of color on grafitti walls. If you missed the post, I wrote about it when I talked about how to choose a photo shoot location. We were both inspired by the color and decided to take it a different route this year. They chose bold punchy colors, which was highlighted with gorgeous light and tons of greenery.
If you’re around Palos Verdes and looking to take some family photos, definitely check out the South Bay Botanical Gardens. The gardens are gorgeous 365 days a year!
