Time moves so fast, and nowhere is that more evident than in pregnancy and those precious first weeks of a newborn’s life. As a maternity and newborn photographer in Temecula, I have had the honor of capturing so many incredible moments for families in 2024. From glowing expecting mamas to the tiniest newborn details, each image tells a story of love, anticipation, and connection.
Here’s a roundup of my top 10 favorite maternity and newborn portraits from this past year—each one capturing the fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered forever.
- This sweet boy was just perfect in every way. I love incorporating parents hands during the session. It really shows just how tiny your new baby is when they are brand new.
2. One of my favorite newborn family images ever! Love how this pretty girl is smiling while her parents kiss. I know parents are tired and may not want to get in front of the camera during their newborn session, but I always encourage parents to do so! Your baby will never be this tiny and brand new again. Your baby will want to see YOU in the photos with them down the line. I promise you won’t regret it! Click here to see more from her gorgeous session!
3. This stunning mama to be absolutely ROCKED her maternity session! I told her to channel her inner supermodel and pretend she was strutting down the runway. Boy did she deliver! This image has become one of my favorite maternity images of all time.
4. This sweet girl was my very first baby in the studio in 2024! She never made a peep and was 100% perfection. Parents always ask me how I can swaddle up their baby so perfectly to look like a little baby burrito. This setup is always a favorite amongst parents and it’s one of mine too! Personally, I love this monochrome look, white on white with a little pop of blush in her headband.
5. This adorable little guy had the MOST adorable cheeks ever! I’m obsessed with his little hand dangling off the side of the bucket.
6. Studio maternity is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! There is something so simplistic and and classic about it. I love this image so much and how it shows off her beautiful baby bump. This image will never go out of style. Studio sessions allow you to wear as little or as much as you want. You can wear jeans and a t shirt, a big frilly gown or nothing at all!
7. I LOVE little girls in blue!! I love breaking the norm of pink for girls. Personally, I love earthy colors like rust, hunter green and blue on girls and I get really excited when parents opt for something other than pink for their session. This pretty girl had the most precious, dainty little features and I loved her in this delicate lace dress!
8. I only have one word for this image: STUNNING. I love it when my clients are up for anything at their session! They trust me with my vision. I’m so glad my client was willing to get her feet wet for this shot. I love how her dress is floating in the water. Did you know this dress is from my client closet? I have lots of outfits for clients to choose from for their session. Just another perk of my client experience!
9. This outfit with the bear bonnet always melts my clients hearts. It’s just so cute, especially when we pair it with this matching bear lovie. He looks like the cuter version of Winnie the Pooh!
10. And last but not least: my adorable nephews One Year Milestone session! Most clients opt for a cake smash, but my sister wanted to do something different. Instead of biting into a cake, my nephew is biting into a big juicy steak! It went perfectly with is cowboy western theme!
