The Somberg Family | Dreamy Family Photography Session at Filoli Gardens

The Somberg family does it again.

This Filoli Gardens family session with Sarah Somberg, Brad Somberg, and their twin daughters was nothing short of magical. Between the soft spring light, the whimsical florals, and their show-stopping style—every moment felt like a fairytale.

Sarah’s ethereal gown and the girls’ pastel dresses were a perfect match for the elegance of Filoli’s historic grounds. But beyond their effortlessly beautiful style, what truly stands out about Sarah and Brad is their gracious, down-to-earth nature. They’re the kind of people who make you feel at ease the moment you’re around them. I’ve had the joy of photographing them for years, and each session feels like catching up with old friends.

BEST SAN FRANCISCO IN-HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | MARINA DISTRICT

A Full Circle Moment | San Francisco Newborn Photographer

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is getting to document a family’s journey over the years. This beautiful family and I go way back—I first met them when I photographed their first baby’s newborn session, and now, years later, I had the honor of capturing their second baby’s newborn session.

This session was extra special because big brother was there too—the same little one I once photographed as a newborn is now stepping into his new role with so much love and curiosity for his baby sister. Witnessing these full-circle moments, where I get to capture growing families through different seasons of life, is truly the heart of why I love what I do.

I had previously photographed this mama’s stunning maternity session at the Marin Headlands, and now seeing her hold her newborn daughter in her arms was simply magical. This SF Marina based family is filled with warmth, love, and effortless connection—everything that makes newborn photography so meaningful.

Your family’s story deserves to be captured in a way that feels natural, joyful, and timeless. Whether you’re envisioning a golden sunset session by the ocean or a dreamy shoot surrounded by San Francisco’s iconic landmarks, I’m here to bring your vision to life.

Why You Should Hire an In-Home Newborn Photographer | San Francisco Newborn Photography

Why You Should Hire an In-Home Newborn Photographer | San Francisco Newborn Photography

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most beautiful milestones, and capturing those early days is something you’ll cherish forever. While there are many ways to document your newborn’s first moments, in-home newborn photography offers a unique, stress-free, and deeply personal experience.

If you’re wondering whether to hire an in-home baby photographer, here are some reasons why it might be the perfect choice for your family.

1. Comfort & Convenience for Your Family

One of the biggest benefits of an in-home newborn session is that you don’t have to leave your house. Those early days can be overwhelming, and the last thing you need is to pack up and travel to a studio. Instead, you get to stay in the comfort of your own space, where everything you need is within reach.

2. Capturing Your Baby’s First Home

Your home is where so many precious first memories are made. An in-home session beautifully documents your baby in their first environment, whether it’s their nursery, your cozy living room, or even those quiet moments in bed. These images will hold sentimental value as your child grows, reminding you of where it all began.

3. A Relaxed & Baby-Led Experience

Babies don’t follow a schedule, and that’s perfectly okay! In-home sessions are completely baby-led, meaning we take breaks for feeding, diaper changes, and snuggles as needed. There’s no rush—just a calm, natural approach that ensures your little one is comfortable and happy throughout the session.

4. Timeless, Natural Images

In-home photography allows for a more organic, lifestyle approach, capturing genuine moments of love and connection. Instead of posed, overly styled setups, the focus is on natural interactions—soft cuddles, tiny hands gripping fingers, and peaceful moments of bonding. These images feel timeless and authentic, reflecting the true essence of your family.

5. A Stress-Free Experience for Parents & Siblings

For families with older children, in-home sessions make it easier for siblings to participate without the pressure of a formal studio setting. They can take breaks, play with their toys, or snuggle up when they feel like it—creating real, heartfelt moments that feel effortless.

6. Personalized & Unique to Your Family

No two in-home sessions are the same because every home and every family is unique. Whether you have a sunlit nursery, a cozy reading nook, or a favorite couch where you spend hours rocking your baby to sleep—these details become part of your story. Your photos won’t look like anyone else’s because they are a true reflection of your family’s world.

If you’re looking for a San Francisco newborn photographer who can capture your baby’s earliest days in the comfort of your own home, I’d love to connect! My goal is to create beautiful, natural images that tell your family’s unique story in a way that feels effortless and meaningful.

The Somberg Family | A morning at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco

It’s a calm Sunday morning, just three weeks before Thanksgiving. Soft sunlight filters through the clouds as I meet one of my favorite families—Sarah and Brad Somberg with their twin girls—at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.

As always, the Sombergs showed up in effortlessly stunning style. Their eye for bold, standout pieces never fails to inspire me. They’re the kind of family that shines in every frame—elegant, playful, and full of heart. I absolutely love photographing them.

Cozy In-Home Newborn Photography Session in San Francisco | Natural Light & Tender Moments

Cozy In-Home Newborn Photography Session in San Francisco | Natural Light & Tender Moments

This recent San Francisco in-home newborn session completely stole my heart. I had the hardest time narrowing down the images—every frame was filled with the softest textures, the dreamiest natural light, and the sweetest energy. This family radiated so much love, and it was an honor to be invited into their home to capture these fleeting early moments.

Why I Love In-Home Newborn Photography?

There’s something incredibly special about documenting newborn life in a family’s own space. It allows for a sense of ease, comfort, and authenticity that’s hard to replicate in a studio. Whether it’s snuggling on the bed, feeding in the nursery, or soaking in those tiny details, my goal is to tell your story in a way that feels effortless and real.

My style blends soft, natural light with warm tones and organic textures, creating images that feel timeless and full of emotion.
