Newborn Photography in the San Francisco Bay Area
Newborn
These early moments are tender, quiet, and all too fleeting. The way they curl into you, the softness of their skin, the love that feels bigger than words—it deserves to be preserved with intention.
San Francisco Bay Area Newborn Photography
Honoring the intimacy, softness, and wonder of your baby’s first days
The newborn days feel like a blur—sleepless, tender, full of love and change.
As a Bay Area newborn photographer, my role is to help you see the beauty you’re living, even if it’s hard to see it right now.
These portraits aren’t just about your baby. They’re about you—your connection, your quiet strength, and the love that’s already shaping your family’s story.
Let’s tell it in a way that feels like you.
What if these photos could shape how you remember this?

In This Season of Becoming
What we create together will live far beyond the newborn stage. These images are for now, yes—but they’re also for her, years from now, when she sees how deeply she was loved from the beginning.
They’re for you, too. So you can see what everyone else sees: how much beauty there was in this season, even when you were too tired to notice.
Why This Matters
The White Glove
My role is to guide you with care—so you can relax into the moment, knowing I’ve thought of every detail. Clients often tell me how natural and intimate it all feels, and how seeing their relationships reflected as high quality art changes the way they see this season.
From the first conversation to the final artwork, I’m here to make sure you feel supported.
Experience
— Christine D
She photographed my newborn pictures. Laurel was so patient, kind, and made my baby and me so comfortable. I plan on using Laurel for all future family pictures and will recommend her to all friends looking for maternity, newborn, or family pictures. Thanks for making the moment so special for my daughter and I, Laurel!"

In the midst of newborn madness, I didn’t have to think about a thing.
Laurel brought dresses, styled the session beautifully, and turned around the photos quickly so I could make holiday cards. I’ve never felt so seen—or so beautiful.
