Your Memories, Professionally Captured.

Our photographer did an excellent job. He was so good with my newborn and toddler, and was able to make him feel comfortable. He captured pics of all of us in a variety of poses. We were so happy with how many good photos we got. I also thought the prices were reasonable for what we got. I would 100% recommend to family and friends.

– ANGELA FROM CORONADO CENTER STUDIO

The photographer was amazing with my newborn. He was incredibly gifted with posing him and took the most amazing photos. My baby was only 6 days old and I was nervous about how the shoot would go. The photographer made all my worries disappear!!

– JENAYA FROM WELLINGTON GREEN STUDIO

The newborn photographer was really good with my newborn baby. He had a great sense of humor and gave great direction to me and my family. He made sure everyone looked nice, and there was nothing out of place.

When should newborn pictures be taken?

Newborn photos are best taken within the first two weeks after birth, when babies tend to be sleepier and more relaxed for posing. As babies grow through 3-6 weeks, they become more alert and expressive, creating opportunities to capture eye contact and personality. Whatever stage you choose, our photographers are here to document your little one with care and expertise. Newborn sessions are available for babies 0-6 weeks.

We also offer milestone photography to celebrate your baby’s first-year moments, like tummy time at 3 months, sitting at 6 months, standing at 9 months, and first birthday smiles. Baby sessions are available for babies 7+ weeks.

How long do JCPenney Portraits baby photoshoots take?

Our standard sessions last about 45 minutes, including 15 minutes in the camera room.
