Elephant Themed Newborn Photography

This is baby boy Weston. He was born a bit earlier then his mom expected so he came to visit me at my Orange County newborn studio when he was about 6 weeks new! He was such a great sleeper and we were able to get so many adorable set ups and poses with him. I always ask parents about the nursery decor as well as their home decor and wood tones so that I can style the session so the wall art they decide to invest in will match perfectly in their home.

When parents bring in props of their own it always gets my creative juices flowing.  They brought in this large stuffy elephant and I just loved how I incorporated it into the newborn session with Weston.  He’ll come back for his sitter session in about 7 months and I can’t wait to see how he has grown next to his elephant.

This elephant basket that the parents brought in was purchased at Pottery Barn Kids.  Even though they don’t have this one available anymore there are so many other adorable elephant shaped baskets online right now!

She Means Business: Dr. Maryam Sickinger

when confidence meets compassion, you get someone like Dr. Maryam Sickinger - founder of Advanced Institute of Dermatology here in San Clemente.

From helping patients feel beautiful in their own skin to leading a thriving practice while raising three amazing kids, she truly embodies balance, grace, and success. 

It’s been such an honor photographing Maryam in her family over the years - and capturing this next chapter of her story for my She Means Business series

because when women stepped in front of the camera, something powerful happens -- they see themselves the way the rest of the world already does.

Do you know a woman who deserves to be featured next? Tag her below or reach out to learn more about the She Means Business campaign.
There’s something magical about those first weeks - the tiny features, the soft baby breaths, the way their whole body fits right in your hands.

Each image is intentionally crafted - from posing to lighting - to create artwork you’ll treasure forever.
Because these moments are gone in a blink of an eye.

I welcomed Maryam of Advanced Institute of Dermatology here in San Clemente to my studio. 

She is the women entrepreneur I got to welcome into my She Means Business Campaign. A movement celebrating women who lead, inspire and create impact through their work.

Each session is about honoring the woman behind the brand and business - the one who built her business with purpose and passion, who shows up every day for her clients, family and her dreams.

Through this campaign, I'm photographing 25 remarkable women entrepreneurs - capturing their strength, confidence, and story through timeless, editorial style portraits.
