They're Only This Small Once

You know this. Everyone tells you. But living it—watching your newborn change daily, weekly—makes you realize how impossible it is to hold onto these moments. The way they sleep with arms flung wide. The tiny wrinkles on their feet. How they fit perfectly against your chest. Their face when they dream. Fine art newborn photography doesn't just document these details—it elevates them into art. Painterly portraits with the depth and permanence these fleeting days deserve. Images that stop time and let you return to this moment forever. Your baby will never be this small again. Let's make it last.

The Miracle That Disappears

Your baby's first days disappear in a blur of feedings, sleepless nights, and overwhelming love. Within weeks, they've already changed—those tiny fingers, that perfect skin, the way they curl into themselves like they're still remembering the womb.

Fine art newborn photography captures what your memory cannot hold. Our Mountain View portrait studio is just 15 minutes from Atherton via Sand Hill Road—close enough for those precious early days when leaving home feels monumental. We specialize in working with newborns during their first two weeks, when they're sleepiest, most poseable, and still carrying that ethereal just-arrived quality.

For Atherton families who appreciate artistry and craftsmanship, we create painterly newborn portraits with the emotional depth and museum-quality finishing your home deserves. Not mass-produced baby pictures—fine art heirlooms your family will treasure for generations.

The Luxury Newborn Photography Experience

Your Vision, Elevated

Before your baby arrives, we plan every detail together. Colors, textures, setup styles—all selected to complement your home's aesthetic and your personal vision. Your ideas matter. We listen, we refine, we create a custom plan that reflects exactly what you want.

No stress. No Pinterest overwhelm. Just a clear plan so that on the day of your session, we can focus entirely on creating art.

The Session: Arrive, Relax, Be Pampered

Your special day deserves nothing less.

We handle everything—posing, soothing, sibling wrangling, professional makeup and styling touch-ups. Sessions typically run 3 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding breaks, diaper changes, and the unhurried pace that luxury newborn photography requires.

Your only job is to relax and enjoy watching your baby be photographed.

The studio is warm, calm, and exclusively yours. No rushing. No other clients. Just your family and our dedicated team, creating something extraordinary together.

Siblings: Capture the Love, Seal the Bond

Capturing Their First Connection

There's nothing quite like watching your older child meet their new sibling for the first time. Those first gentle kisses. Those tentative, tender touches. The way their face lights up with wonder—or scrunches with uncertainty. All of it is precious. All of it deserves to be preserved.

Our sibling newborn photography captures the magic of their earliest connection, freezing these heartwarming moments in time. Years from now, when your children are grown, these images will remind them where their bond began.

Strengthening the Sibling Bond

A newborn photo session isn't just about photographs—it's an experience that helps siblings connect. We create opportunities for your older child to feel important, involved, and proud of their new role as big brother or sister.

The first interactions between your children are beautifully preserved in these fine art portraits, showcasing their growing connection in ways that become more meaningful with every passing year.

Memories That Last Forever

As your children grow, these newborn portraits with siblings become cherished keepsakes. They'll look back at these images and remember—or discover for the first time—the tender moments that marked the beginning of their lifelong bond.
