This sweet family visited my Sacramento photo studio to celebrate their new baby. We packed a whole lot of variety into one relaxed session. From classic family portraits to lifestyle-style images and some playful styled shots with baby in sports gear, we captured a full range of moments in one easy morning.

One of the biggest perks of doing a studio session, especially in the warmer months, is that you don’t have to worry about the heat. The space is quiet, comfortable, and climate controlled, which makes a big difference when you’re working with a baby. And honestly, it helps a lot for new parents, too. If you don’t love being out in the sun or just want a break from the Sacramento summer, indoor family photos are a great option that still feel warm and personal.

This family brought the whole crew. Parents, siblings, and baby all joined in, which gave us a chance to do a mix of group photos, individual portraits, and some cuddly, relaxed moments in between. We kept things simple, letting the family interact naturally and building in time for baby breaks when needed. I always like to start with a few timeless shots and then ease into something more casual as the session goes on.

The studio setup makes everything easy. With all the tools and space ready to go, we can move through different setups quickly and still keep the session feeling relaxed. It is also a great option for babies who are a little older and past the newborn stage, but still in that tiny, snuggly phase parents want to remember. Studio family sessions work really well for families who want variety and comfort without worrying about the weather.

If you are thinking about booking with a Sacramento family photographer but feeling unsure about the heat, a studio session might be a perfect fit. You will stay cool and comfortable, and still walk away with a full set of images that feel like you. Reach out if you have questions or want to book your spot. I would love to hear what you are planning!
