Loving these sibling shots! Big brother so totally dapper! Was not that long ago that we did his newborn photos too!
Love watching our clients grow their families! your sweet boys! 🤍
We’re Matt + Jess, a husband-and-wife team in Los Angeles. For the last 12 years, we’ve photographed over 1,600 babies in our home studio. Families come to us for a relaxed experience and classic newborn portraits that never go out of style.
Q: How do you get siblings to take photos with the new baby?
We keep sibling photos short, fun, and pressure-free. That said, it really depends on the child—sometimes they’re all in, and sometimes they want nothing to do with baby (especially ages three and under, where it’s about a 50/50 chance).
Sessions start with about an hour of newborn-only poses, so we recommend having someone take siblings out or keep them busy during that time. Once baby shots are done, we’ll bring siblings back for family photos and a few sibling + newborn images if it feels safe and they’re up for it. We usually give this about 30 minutes and won’t push if it’s not working.
After their turn, it’s best if siblings head home or out for an activity—newborn sessions are long and warm. Families often have Dad, grandparents, or a caregiver take them to Verdugo Park, Chandler Bike Path, or Romancing the Bean nearby.
