Chico California Spring Maternity Photographer - Scherger Twins

We love Cassie and Michael! Many moons ago, Cassie and I were actually elementary classmates in Chico. We reconnected when she became engaged to Michael and we then traveled to Atlanta for their engagement session and then down to Napa for their wedding. Fast forward to present day and they are expecting not one but TWO sweet little babies coming this summer! Double the blessing for sure!

Newborn Photography in Chico CA - Baby Rowan

The Harrington family welcomed their second child, a sweet baby girl here in Chico this summer. We spent the morning getting to know them as a new family of four. We love being able to spend time in our newborn family’s homes. We can capture them in the same spaces they’ll be raising their little ones, freezing the in between moments that create a beautiful legacy for them to look back on. It’s truly an honor we don’t take lightly.

Chico Family Lifestyle Photographer - Jarvis Home Family Photos

For family lifestyle sessions, our goal is focus on connection and creating moments that are natural for the families we get to work with. We still will capture a few more traditional smiling “looking at the camera” photos, but that’s not the focus of these sessions. The focus is helping the family forget about the camera and letting candid moments come out. Our homes can be such intimate spaces and it was an honor to be invited into the Jarvis household.

The Best Time to Schedule Newborn Photos - Chico Baby Photographer

Congratulations on this new exciting season you and your family are entering into. There can be a lot of firsts, unknown questions when it comes to newborn photography. If you know for sure you want to have a home lifestyle newborn photo session, I highly suggest reaching out before your baby is born. Many newborn photographers book up months in advance. Contacting a photographer way before allows you to rest assured this sweet season will be captured. You don’t have to frantically contact every newborn photographer you know seeing if they have an openings. After bringing your sweet baby home, you’ll want to relax and not worry about scheduling one extra thing. Take care of that in advance. For newborn photography, I always pencil in a potential date for the photo session and adjust accordingly once your baby is here.

Fall Sunset Maternity Photos in Northern California - Baby C

Sam and Carlie were our first EVER couple to model for TréCreative before we even had a website up. We needed portfolio images and content. They graciously agreed to be in front of the camera. I’m sure they were just as nervous as we were because we barely knew how to pose someone let along make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. To take it back even further, they were our first couple friends when we both started dating in high school. We’d go on adventures, double dates and dream about life post-high school. They were both in our wedding, we photographed their engagement and wedding.

Newborn Photographer Chico Ca - Preparing for your home newborn session

Home newborn sessions are my favorite for so many reasons. Mainly because it’s convenient for you. It’s the spaces you raise your little ones. Homes come in all shapes and sizes. Decoration styles vary and that's the beauty of shooting in different people's homes. Every space is new. It has your personal touches throughout which makes these sessions highly personalized from the start.

Cozy Home Newborn Photography Chico Ca - BABY ATALIE

Kyle and Marek have a beautiful home here in Chico filled with personal touches everywhere you look. I love how they have photos throughout every season of their lives displayed on the walls like a walk down memory lane. I can just imagine as their kids grow,  looking at those images as a reminder of the bond their family shares. Family heirlooms in the form of photos are everywhere you look. This is such a powerful representation of the legacy of love we fully believe in when we're working with these sweet families.
