“I’m so in love with our family photos. Vanessa did a great job at capturing our newborn son, and great moments of his big sister bonding with him. My heart is melting looking at these and I can’t wait to have her take more photos of special moments in our lives. 100% would recommend to anyone! Also, she’s super easy to talk to, very open to ideas, and incredibly friendly!” 

I’m Vanessa, a Newborn Photographer based in Northern California, serving the greater East Bay and beyond. Capturing the beauty and innocence of a newborn’s first days is my passion, whether it’s in the comfort of your home or during those precious first hours in the hospital. My in-home newborn sessions are relaxed and intimate, allowing me to document your little one in a natural, cozy environment with your family. I focus on genuine moments—tiny fingers wrapped around yours, sweet sleepy stretches, and the warmth of your embrace. For fresh 48 hospital sessions, I capture the raw, emotional moments of your baby’s very first hours—those delicate features, hospital bands, and the overwhelming love that fills the room. These sessions are perfect for preserving the fleeting magic of the newborn stage before you even leave the hospital. I love freezing these once-in-a-lifetime memories in beautiful, timeless images that families will cherish forever. Thank you for visiting my website—I can’t wait to document your little one’s first moments!
