If you’re looking for family newborn photos in Oceanside, look no further friend! Renee reached out to book a newborn session at their home to celebrate and welcome their second daughter earth side. Their home was recently remodeled to perfection and filled so many thoughtful details. It was the kind of space that felt warm and welcoming, and it instantly set the tone for a beautiful session.

Life with a newborn and a 2.5-year-old is fun and chaotic, and this day was no different. Their toddler wasn’t tooooo interested in being in photos, but that didn’t stop us from documenting the sweetest moments. Mom and dad stayed calm and rolled with it, which is one of the best things parents can do during family photos. Instead of worrying about forced smiles or perfect poses, they leaned into the real moments, and those are always the images that mean the most later on.

We captured sweet snuggles with the baby, playful moments with big sister, and a bit of the chaos that naturally comes with this stage of life. The in-between interactions often told the best story: big sis running in and out of the frame, mom nursing her newborn, dad stepping in for cuddles and games.

What made this session even more meaningful was that their home itself felt like a character in the story. Every corner carried the energy of a family growing, learning, and finding their rhythm together. That’s the heart of family newborn photos in Oceanside—they aren’t about perfection, they’re about documenting real life. One day, when the newborn days feel like a blur and the toddler years are a distant memory, these photos will bring it all rushing back in the most beautiful way.
