Bay Area Newborn Photography
Capture the precious first days of your baby’s life in beautiful, unposed authenticity
Fleeting as First Light
If maternity is a whole season, the newborn weeks vanish like the day’s first light.
When you’re in it, time stretches to the horizon. But you will remember it as a moment.
A moment full of details you never want to forget, but in a haze of exhaustion, you will struggle to remember.
See how I’ve captured captured this moment for families across the Bay Area.
“The days are long, but the years are short. Enjoy every moment because they grow up so fast.”

(or will be soon)
I’ve been there
Here’s a self portrait one week after our daughter was born. She wasn’t much of a sleeper (can you tell?) so we rely on photographs to support our memories and remind us of how we felt.
As a work-from-home dad, I know what it means to manage a home, a business, and a life within the little spaces in between. I approach every newborn session with care, empathy, and patience.
Newborn photography is about more than just your baby; it’s about this new chapter for you as a family. From quiet snuggles to little fingers to the baby books and gifts you have scattered about the house, we create timeless images that feel as warm and authentic as your family.

When is the Best Time for a Newborn Session?
I wrote a whole article about this. Read When to Schedule Newborn Photos.
TLDR – my favorite ages for newborn photos are 14 days and 6 weeks, but we can make great pictures no matter when you schedule your newborn session.
Kind Words
“We were looking for a photographer to capture family photos of us with our newborn daughter. We wanted someone with a more candid and natural style vs lots of posed shots. We also wanted someone we felt comfortable with since we aren’t used to being in front of a camera….”
“Our expectations were exceeded in every way working with David! In both the shoots (we did two) we felt really comfortable following his lead and direction and the sessions just felt really easy, like we were working with a long time friend.”
“The photos were incredible- we got mostly candids and natural shots which was exactly what we wanted but also really loved the ones we posed for. We loved them all!”
“We had a lot of fun putting together a lie flat album, which came out great and was very high quality.”
“We can’t think of anything we would change, and really appreciate David capturing this first year of our baby’s life and hope to do it again in the future!”
– Khevna Desai, Bay Area Mom
