Newborn Photography Thousand Oaks

Are you currently expecting and looking for a newborn photography Thousand Oaks? I’m Daniele, a local natural light photographer with over 18 years of experience photographing newborns. I adore capturing brand new little ones, and think that the first few days with your new baby is one of the most incredible moments in your family’s story to document. They just grow and change so fast; you’ll never regret having photos of your children when they were brand new!

Benefits of Studio Newborn Portraits

Both in home and in studio newborn sessions are of course beautiful, but if I’m being honest I have to say that I really do favor my studio for newborn photography Thousand Oaks.  Here are a few of the reasons why, which might be helpful to consider when deciding on a photographer for your newborn session.

The Light is Consistent and is Always Beautiful

I am so fortunate to have a cozy studio in a gorgeous ivy-covered cottage on our property. The natural light pours in and I can create glowy, well-lit portraits of my littlest subjects.  I know the light in my studio very well, and previously, when I offered in home newborn portraits I was never quite sure what the lighting conditions would be like when I arrived at my client’s home. 

When my clients come to me I always know they’ll be getting my best work with the prettiest, most consistent light. My studio also features a kitchen with a well stocked coffee bar (new parents running on little sleep always make a b-line for the coffee bar when they arrive!), a separate changing room, and a private bathroom.

Props and Other Must-Have Items are Close at Hand

My newborn work is not heavily posed, but there are certain items that I use to create sweet & cozy, curled-up images of newborns.  When working in my newborn photography studio these items are within reach and I’m able to provide an optimal environment for babies and their families. I have plenty of background blankets, wraps, knit diaper covers, hats, bonnets, and headbands.

While you are welcome to bring any items you love (sentimental and handmade items are especially encouraged!), you don’t need to worry about buying much at all for the baby to wear. I have what we need, and like to keep things simple so that the focus stays on the baby. Everything we need can be found in my studio. If you absolutely must shop for a couple of cute things for your session, Etsy is a great place to look.

My Studio is Pretty (and You Won’t Have to Worry About Cleaning Your House!)

Neutral walls, big windows, and wide-plank wood floors are a blank canvas for portraits.  It’s a place where I can create a variety of looks for different types of portrait sessions.  Also, when you come to the studio for a newborn session you won’t have to worry about trying to pick up your house to create a space to take photos.  Let’s be real – those first few days with a newborn are a whirlwind and you’ll likely be exhausted.  Leave the mess behind and come in to the studio to capture your baby at this precious and fleeting age!
