When your baby is born you will be bowled over by their perfection. You'll want to trace each detail and remember it forever. As a newborn photographer, my job is to help you do just that.
No distracting props or unnatural poses necessary. The elements I rely on are simple: Natural posing, delicate wraps, and gorgeous light.
Your newborn session takes place in my well-appointed Northeast LA studio or the comfort of your own home and includes parent and sibling portraits.
I provide everything we need for your session, including all the pretty wraps and delicate knits you see on my website and Instagram.
Most importantly, your session is a relaxed and enjoyable experience for the whole family.
Whether you choose a studio or in-home session, your experience will be relaxed and enjoyable. I follow your baby's lead and leave plenty of time for feeding, changing, and extra cuddles. Parent and sibling portraits are included in your session. Sessions typically take between 2.5 and 3 hours.
Your session includes a phone consultation to plan your session and answer any questions you may have. I'll let you know exactly how to prepare and what to wear for your session.
You are welcome to borrow something from my beautifully curated studio wardrobe collection. It's full of dresses that are both comfortable and flattering. Of course, you may also wear something of your own. I'll also help you style the rest of the family.
Every session includes a collection of digital files. Your final gallery is hand-retouched, so that you look your very best, and delivered via a private online gallery.

Ariel is so incredibly talented and has such an amazing gift! My maternity photoshoot with Ariel was so special. It was such a nice time to connect with baby and send her love during the photo shoot. When I received the photos I cried because I was so shocked at how Ariel captured how much I already love this baby girl. Ariel has an incredible maternity wardrobe so I didn't have to worry about buying different outfits for the shoot. It was so easy and she made me feel so comfortable. I highly, highly recommend Ariel. She is the absolute best and has given me so much joy by providing these images!

I photograph most newborns within 6-12 days of birth, as this is the best time to get sleepy, curly newborn images.
I take a limited number of newborn sessions each month so that I'll be available for your session whether you deliver "early," "late," or on your due date.
Newborn sessions are booked with a contract and deposit.
When you book your newborn session, I'll reserve a spot for you on my calendar based on your baby's due date.
We'll schedule your actual session date after your baby is born.
