would 100% choose them again!
We couldn't be happier to have met and worked with Matt Cramer Photography. Matt and Jess made capturing this precious newborn phase with our firstborn child such a joy! From our arrival at their welcoming home studio to receiving our final product, Matt and Jess took excellent care of us and our babygirl. They have a genuine passion for their work and we were grateful for every considerate measure they take to keep their studio spotless and sanitized with a spa-like atmosphere for us to relax in as they seamlessly shot several looks of our gorgeous girl. We adored their perfect curation of wardrobe, props and accessories and loved that they included us in some behind the scenes magic, but took care of our girl as if she was their own throughout the whole entire shoot! The results speak for themselves; we can't speak highly enough of Matt and Jess who are both so talented in their respective roles. We would 100% choose them again for future sessions. Don't miss the opportunity to create precious, timeless memories of your family with Matt.

How stinking cute!! Sometimes we catch the big whopper smile! @morganhsuzuki your sweet boy!
Iâll tell you something that weâre really good at, Matt and I- creating and capturing images that are in the same style that parents are hoping for. Before each session, parents fill out a questionnaire in regards to style and color preferences. Many many times this includes super neutral, creams, natural colors, etc and just super clean, classic, and simple set ups. Just like this shot where the focus is 100% on baby.
If our style matches your vision reach out on the website for more information on our newborn sessions! xo, Jess

This is one of our all time favorite shots. The eyelash macro. Swoon!
Sweet baby Jordan was a rockstar during his mini swaddle session!
We got through so many adorable swaddled set ups and yes, we always include macro shots too in our mini swaddle sessions!
FAQ: Whatâs the best time for newborn photos?
â¨The best time for newborn photos is between 9â17 days old. This is the sweet spot where baby is still quite sleepy and usually snoozes through the entire session. If your baby is past this timeframe, donât fret! We can still capture beautiful imagesâjust give us a shout and Iâll send you all our information on our newborn sessions in our cozy, Burbank home studio.

Loving these sibling shots! Big brother so totally dapper! Was not that long ago that we did his newborn photos too!
Love watching our clients grow their families! @morganhsuzuki your sweet boys! đ¤
Weâre Matt + Jess, a husband-and-wife team in Los Angeles. For the last 12 years, weâve photographed over 1,600 babies in our home studio. Families come to us for a relaxed experience and classic newborn portraits that never go out of style.
Q: How do you get siblings to take photos with the new baby?
We keep sibling photos short, fun, and pressure-free. That said, it really depends on the childâsometimes theyâre all in, and sometimes they want nothing to do with baby (especially ages three and under, where itâs about a 50/50 chance).
Sessions start with about an hour of newborn-only poses, so we recommend having someone take siblings out or keep them busy during that time. Once baby shots are done, weâll bring siblings back for family photos and a few sibling + newborn images if it feels safe and theyâre up for it. We usually give this about 30 minutes and wonât push if itâs not working.
After their turn, itâs best if siblings head home or out for an activityânewborn sessions are long and warm. Families often have Dad, grandparents, or a caregiver take them to Verdugo Park, Chandler Bike Path, or Romancing the Bean nearby.

One more of this sweet boy that is so incredibly loved! đ¤đ¤
Held in the hands of mom, dad and big brother. We just knew we HAD to do this shot for this beautiful, loving family.
Matt Cramer Photography specializes in classic newborn and baby photography in Los Angeles. With over 14 years of experience and 1600+ babies photographed, Matt and Jess are known for creating a calm, stress-free experience while capturing the sweetest moments for families to treasure forever.â¨â¨Q: Can siblings be included in the newborn session?
â¨A: Siblings three years old and over can be included in newborn sessions. We like to remind parents that while we always try to capture great sibling shots, at the end of the day it will really depend on what the little ones are game for. Sibling shots can be great when they work, but we like to stress that they are not the main focus of our newborn sessions.
