Ok I very much love the deep dive I get to do into my archives when families reach out about prints from past sessions.

I can't really guarantee any specific type of picture from a documentary session, because life tends to be unpredictable. That being said, there are a few things I look for when I photograph newborns, like a chance to capture their teeny tiny hands. #JCP_RealIsMoreInteresting #RealIsMoreInteresting #RealLifeWithNewborns #RealLifeWithANewborn #Fresh48 #Fresh48Session #Fresh48Photography #Fresh48Photographer #DocumentaryNewbornPhotographer #BayAreaPhotographer #FamilyPhotojournalism #SanFranciscoPhotographer #BayAreaNewbornPhotographer #SanJosePhotographer #SanJoseNewbornPhotographer #BayAreaParents #DITL #DayInTheLife #DFPCommunity #DocumentYourMemories #NewbornPhotographyDotCom #TheDocumentaryApproach
Fresh 48 and newborn sessions are about *so much more* than just the baby – siblings meeting new family members for the first time are some of my favorite moments to document. #JCP_RealIsMoreInteresting #RealIsMoreInteresting #RealLifeWithNewborns #RealLifeWithANewborn #Fresh48 #Fresh48Session #Fresh48Photography #Fresh48Photographer #DocumentaryNewbornPhotographer #BayAreaPhotographer #FamilyPhotojournalism #SanFranciscoPhotographer #BayAreaNewbornPhotographer #SanJosePhotographer #SanJoseNewbornPhotographer #BayAreaParents #DITL #DayInTheLife #DFPCommunity #DocumentYourMemories #NewbornPhotographyDotCom #TheDocumentaryApproach

It's always really hard for me to leave Fresh 48 and newborn sessions, cause I feel like the babies *constantly* do smth cute, adorable, and/or silly that needs to be captured. I can't help thinking that some faces and gestures may be ones that the kiddo will keep doing later so I wanna capture them all :) #JCP_RealIsMoreInteresting #RealIsMoreInteresting #RealLifeWithNewborns #RealLifeWithANewborn #Fresh48 #Fresh48Session #Fresh48Photography #Fresh48Photographer #DocumentaryNewbornPhotographer #BayAreaPhotographer #FamilyPhotojournalism #SanFranciscoPhotographer #BayAreaNewbornPhotographer #SanJosePhotographer #SanJoseNewbornPhotographer #BayAreaParents #DITL #DayInTheLife #DFPCommunity #DocumentYourMemories #NewbornPhotographyDotCom #TheDocumentaryApproach
If a family is welcoming a new baby into the family, my favorite time to do a Fresh 48 session is when older siblings come visit the baby for the first time. #JCP_RealIsMoreInteresting #RealIsMoreInteresting #RealLifeWithNewborns #RealLifeWithANewborn #Fresh48 #Fresh48Session #Fresh48Photography #Fresh48Photographer #DocumentaryNewbornPhotographer #BayAreaPhotographer #FamilyPhotojournalism #SanFranciscoPhotographer #BayAreaFamilyPhotographer #SanJosePhotographer #SanJoseFamilyPhotographer #MountainViewPhotographer #SantaCruzPhotographer #LosGatosPhotographer #SanFranciscoParents #BayAreaParents #DITL #DayInTheLife #DFPCommunity #ChildhoodMoments #DocumentYourMemories #NewbornPhotographyDotCom #TheDocumentaryApproach
There are quite a few families that I've photographed for the first time within hours of welcoming a new baby. I've felt incredibly honored and grateful that they've trusted me with their memories during such an intimate time. #jcp_realismoreinteresting #realismoreinteresting #fresh48 #fresh48session #documentarynewbornphotographer #bayareaphotographer #familyphotojournalism #sanfranciscophotographer #bayareanewbornphotographer #sanjosephotographer #sanfranciscoparents #bayareaparents #ditl #dayinthelife #dfpcommunity #reallifewithanewborn #childhoodmoments #reallifewithnewborns #documentyourmemories #newbornphotographydotcom #thedocumentaryapproach
I don't do skin retouching for my documentary family or newborn photos, because I think it's important we all embrace real life. (That being said, I've given a family both an unaltered and a retouched version of a photo on occasion when requested – but those are usually not documentary photos.) #JCP_RealIsMoreInteresting #RealIsMoreInteresting #RealLifeWithNewborns #RealLifeWithANewborn #DocumentaryNewbornPhotographer #BayAreaPhotographer #FamilyPhotojournalism #SanFranciscoPhotographer #BayAreaNewbornPhotographer #SanJosePhotographer #SanJoseFamilyPhotographer #MountainViewPhotographer #SantaCruzPhotographer #LosGatosPhotographer #SanFranciscoParents #BayAreaParents #DITL #DayInTheLife #DFPCommunity #ChildhoodMoments #DocumentYourMemories #NewbornPhotographyDotCom #TheDocumentaryApproach

Fresh 48 sessions are my favorite – it feels surreal that I haven't done one since 2019. It feels so far but also like it was last year. #jcp_realismoreinteresting #realismoreinteresting #fresh48 #fresh48session #documentarynewbornphotographer #bayareaphotographer #familyphotojournalism #sanfranciscophotographer #bayareanewbornphotographer #sanjosephotographer #sanfranciscoparents #bayareaparents #ditl #dayinthelife #dfpcommunity #reallifewithanewborn #childhoodmoments #reallifewithnewborns #documentyourmemories #newbornphotographydotcom #thedocumentaryapproach

Fresh 48 sessions at the hospital are my favorite thing to do – it's how I've first met many of the families that work with me year after year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jcp_realismoreinteresting #realismoreinteresting #fresh48 #fresh48session #bigsisterlittlesister #documentarynewbornphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bayareaphotographer #familyphotojournalism⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanfranciscophotographer #bayareanewbornphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanjosephotographer #sanfranciscoparents #bayareaparents #ditl #dayinthelife #dfpcommunity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reallifewithanewborn #childhoodmoments ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reallifewithnewborns #documentyourmemories⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newbornphotographydotcom #thedocumentaryapproach
Do you remember meeting younger siblings for the first time?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have very, very hazy memories of it. I think most of my memories are actually photos that I've seen and not actual memories.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think my first real memory of "her" is a hazy image of her car seat – which is why I'm grateful that dad took a lot of photos when we were little.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jcp_realismoreinteresting #realismoreinteresting #fresh48 #fresh48session #bigsisterlittlesister #documentarynewbornphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bayareaphotographer #familyphotojournalism⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanfranciscophotographer #bayareanewbornphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanjosephotographer #sanfranciscoparents #bayareaparents #ditl #dayinthelife #dfpcommunity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reallifewithanewborn #childhoodmoments ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reallifewithnewborns #documentyourmemories⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newbornphotographydotcom #thedocumentaryapproach
I think I'm going to have a harder time transitioning into a non-covid world than I thought i'd have whenever that day arrives. I'm realizing this after a weekend of volunteering with @juniorleaguesa purchasing items for nonprofit organizations' food pantries. I was exhausted when I got home. And it wasn't from the lifting of several pounds of peanut butter or canned foods, or pushing heavy carts down store aisles, but from being around a lot of people in a public place. I haven't been to Costco for over a year and had a bit of anxiety before entering the store. And though being with my fellow volunteers who I haven't seen in person in a long time filled me with joy, my body was not used to that much excitement in two days haha⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you think you'll have a hard time with the transition, whenever that may come?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #ohtannenbaumphotos #satxphotographer #lifestylenewbornsession #sanantoniophotographer #familyphotographysatx #momentslikethese #motherlylove #bestillmyheart #creativetogcollective #smalpresets #naturallightphotography #lifestylephotos #letthembelittle #lifestyle.photographers #reallifewithnewborns #familyoffive

“I would definitely recommend the Fresh 48… you’re never going to be able to go back. The good thing but the bad thing about how we all have cameras in our pocket now is that is that whenever anything happens it’s like ‘Well are you taking photos of this? You need to take photos of this, because we need to remember it!’ " - Paul⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jcp_realismoreinteresting #printsmatter⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #printyourphotos #printyourmemories #notjustdigitals #printedphotos #documentyourmemories #fresh48 #fresh48session #newparents #reallifewithanewborn #childhoodmoments #reallifewithnewborns #documentarynewbornphotographer

"What was really nice for me was that I knew that during that time I didn’t need to make sure that we were getting a photo of every possible moment because we were going to have you come in and take care of that for us.

So I know your toddler trying out different hospital floor spots to sleep on isn't maybe what you'd like.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But these are the kinds of things that I secretly hope will happen, as kids being weird comes with the documentary territory - and makes for pictures that make you cringe AND laugh later.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #jcp_realismoreinteresting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #realismoreinteresting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fresh48⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fresh48session⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #documentarynewbornphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bayareaphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #familyphotojournalism⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanfranciscophotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bayareanewbornphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanjosephotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mountainviewphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #santacruzphotographer ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #losgatosphotographer ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sanfranciscoparents ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bayareaparents ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ditl #dayinthelife⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newparents ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dfpcommunity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #reallifewithanewborn #childhoodmoments #reallifewithnewborns #newbornphotographydotcom
