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! 

I’ll tell you something that we’re 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: What’s the best time for newborn photos?

The best time for newborn photos is between 9–17 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, don’t fret! We can still capture beautiful images—just give us a shout and I’ll send you all our information on our newborn sessions in our cozy, Burbank home studio.

Held in the hands of mom, dad and big brother. We just knew we HAD to do this shot for this beautiful, loving family.

Q: Can siblings be included in the newborn session? 

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.

All snuggled up in soft creams—this sweet boy was pure perfection in one of our favorite classic poses. Our little matching sleepy hat and knit wrap set made it even better! xo, Jess
