Studio Newborn Photography in Los Angeles: 3 Things Every Parent Should Know

Planning newborn photos in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, or Los Angeles?

One of the most important things to understand is that professional newborn photography takes time.

At my private Tujunga photography studio, newborn sessions are baby-led. That means we allow time for feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and breaks whenever your baby needs them.

Your newborn doesn't have to sleep throughout the session or cooperate with every pose.

As a Certified Professional Photographer with experience photographing more than 350 newborns, I prioritize safety, comfort, and carefully planned portraits.

I've written a guide explaining three important things parents should know before scheduling studio newborn photographs.

🎄 Introducing Christmas at the Evergreen Door NEW for 2026!

Looking for something a little different for your family Christmas photos in Los Angeles or Glendale this year?

I'm excited to introduce one of my newest holiday photography sets at Panos Productions Photography: Christmas at the Evergreen Door!

This beautiful set reminds me of the entrance to an old-fashioned Christmas home, with its weathered double doors, glowing lanterns, abundant evergreens, red berries, and hundreds of tiny Christmas lights.

I love the richness of the colors and the timeless feeling of this scene. It's festive without being overly bright, and elegant without being too formal.

I can picture little ones sitting on the doorstep, siblings sharing a Christmas moment, or an entire family gathered together for a portrait they'll enjoy long after the decorations come down.

Christmas at the Evergreen Door is a wonderful choice for families who love traditional Christmas colors, warm lighting, and holiday portraits with a storybook feeling.

Sessions take place in my private Tujunga photography studio, conveniently serving families from Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, La Crescenta, and throughout Los Angeles.

🎄 Now booking 2026 family holiday and Christmas photography sessions!

Should parents be in newborn photos?

I generally recommend including parents in at least a few photographs during a newborn session.

One important reason is scale. A photograph of your newborn alone preserves how your baby looked. A photograph of your baby against your chest, resting in your hands, or curled into your arms shows just how small your baby actually was.

Parent-and-baby photographs also don't have to be formal portraits. Close compositions, profiles, photographs looking down at your baby, and detail images of your hands with your baby's fingers or feet can keep the emphasis on the newborn.

My guide explains the different options, what parents can wear, and ways to include parents who don't particularly enjoy being photographed.

What happens during a newborn photography session?

One of the biggest misconceptions about newborn photography is that babies need to arrive asleep and “cooperate” for several hours.

They don't.

A professional newborn session includes time for feeding, soothing, diaper changes and cuddling. I follow the baby's cues and adjust the session as needed rather than expecting a newborn to follow a photography schedule.

Before families arrive, the studio is prepared with the selected colors, wraps, props and setups so we can concentrate on baby once the session begins. Safety and comfort come before getting a particular photograph.

I walk parents through the entire experience in my guide:

When Should You Schedule Maternity Photos in Los Angeles?

For many pregnancies, maternity portraits are scheduled during the third trimester, when the pregnancy is clearly visible but before the final weeks become uncomfortable or unpredictable.

The best timing is not identical for everyone. Your due date, pregnancy, mobility, and whether you are expecting multiples can affect when your maternity photography session should take place.

My studio maternity sessions are individually planned and photographed with professional studio lighting. I provide posing direction throughout the session and can photograph the mother alone as well as portraits with her partner and children.

I am a Certified Professional Photographer with more than a decade of portrait photography experience. My private studio is located in Tujunga, Los Angeles, serving maternity photography clients from Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Montrose, Sunland, Northeast Los Angeles, and the surrounding San Fernando Valley.

For families planning both maternity and newborn photography, scheduling during pregnancy also allows time to reserve a newborn session before the baby arrives.

Christmas Photo Sessions in Los Angeles: Which Experience Is Right for Your Family?

Not every family wants the same kind of holiday photos.

A toddler meeting Santa needs a very different experience from a sitting baby celebrating their first Christmas. Some families want everyone in the photograph; others want an imaginative Christmas experience just for the kids.

That’s why I’m offering five different holiday photography experiences this year:

🎅 Private Santa’s Workshop — an interactive private Santa experience rather than a quick meet-and-greet.

🧸 North Pole Teddy Bear Adventure — a story-based Christmas experience for children, with no Santa.

🎄 Family Holiday Portraits — classic holiday portraits for the whole family.

✨ Baby’s First Christmas — portraits celebrating that very first Christmas season.

📦 Baby in a Box Holiday Photos — created especially for sitting babies.

I wrote a guide comparing all five, including what happens during each session and which experience may work best for your child or family.

Santa Photos in Los Angeles are officially open for booking! 🎅

This isn’t a quick “sit on Santa’s lap, smile, next!” kind of session.

My Private Santa Photo Sessions are designed as a little Christmas experience. Your child gets time with Santa to talk, play, explore his workshop, check the Nice List, work with toys, share a few secrets, and make a little Christmas magic together.

And that matters, especially for children who need a few minutes before deciding this bearded stranger in a red suit is someone they actually want to hang out with.

Because each family has a private appointment, we can photograph the moments that happen between the expected Santa portraits: the serious conversations, suspicious glances, laughter, whispered requests, and expressions you couldn't plan if you tried.

📍 Los Angeles area
🎅 Private Santa experience
📸 8 finished images included
🍪 Christmas activities and treats
🎄 No crowded Santa line
✨ By appointment only

Santa sessions are now open for booking for the 2026 Christmas season.

If you’ve been looking for Santa Photos in Los Angeles or Glendale and want something more personal than the traditional mall Santa visit, you can see the full experience, dates, details, and booking information on my website.

Family Christmas photos in Los Angeles don't have to depend on your children “cooperating” for the camera.

One of the easiest ways to get natural smiles is to stop asking children to smile.

During holiday sessions, I use activities and interaction instead. Children might play, pretend to bake cookies, cuddle with a sibling or do something silly with Mom and Dad. Those moments often produce the expressions parents want because the child is responding to what is happening rather than performing for the camera.

I explain more about how I create natural expressions during family holiday portraits. Link in comments.

Santa Photos in Los Angeles for kids who are scared of Santa

Yesterday I was telling a client about my Santa Experience when she immediately said:

“Oh, my child is scared of Santa.”

And I realized something.

Maybe we ask an awful lot of kids when they meet Santa.

Think about the traditional Santa experience from a child’s perspective. You walk into an unfamiliar place. There’s a stranger with a huge white beard wearing a bright red suit. Everyone suddenly wants you to go near him, sit with him and smile for a photograph.

And you’ve known this guy for approximately 14 seconds.

That’s exactly what I wanted to avoid when I designed my Private Santa Experience in Los Angeles.

Your child doesn’t have to walk in and immediately pose with Santa. There are activities throughout the visit that give Santa and your child a chance to actually interact.

They might find their name on Santa’s Nice List, help him in his workshop, look through his magical globe, read a Christmas story, play a silly game or tell him what they’re hoping for at Christmas.

And they never have to sit on Santa’s lap.

Those activities serve another purpose: while your child is busy doing something interesting, Santa gradually stops being “that strange man in the red suit.”

He becomes the guy helping them find their name on the Nice List.

The guy with the funny game.

The guy who needs their help in his workshop.

In other words, they have a chance to get to know him.

Some children will still be cautious. Some will want Mom or Dad nearby. Some may never want to sit next to Santa at all.

That’s okay.

My goal with these private Santa photos near Glendale and Los Angeles isn’t to manufacture an instant Santa friendship.

It’s to give that friendship a chance to happen.

And if it does, I’ll be there with my camera when it happens.
