As a newborn photographer in Albuquerque, NM, it’s always such an honor to welcome families back into my studio. This sweet baby boy’s session was extra special because I’ve had the privilege of photographing this family through so many milestones—his big sister’s maternity session, her newborn portraits, and even her cake smash celebration. Watching their family grow has been such a joy.

For this session, we focused on soft, timeless setups that highlighted his tiny features and peaceful expressions. Every outfit, wrap, and prop used during the session was carefully selected from my studio collection. Mom and big sister also wore dresses from my curated client closet, making the experience completely stress-free and beautifully coordinated.

Capturing these moments is more than just photos—it’s preserving memories that this family will cherish forever. I feel so grateful each time they trust me to document their journey.

If you’re expecting and searching for a newborn photographer in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, or surrounding New Mexico areas, I would love to create something special for your family, too.
