Santa Rosa Beach Newborn Photographer | Welcoming Baby Cam Canedo

When one of your clients-turned-best-friends has a baby and travels 4+ hours — just days after a c-section — just to have you do their son’s newborn photos on the beach, it makes you feel like an absolute superstar! As a Santa Rosa Beach newborn photographer, this kind of trust from a family is the very best part of my job.

Meet Sweet Baby Cam

It is my pleasure to introduce you to baby Cam. How absolutely adorable is he? This baby is giving me baby fever something awful! Sweet sleepy newborns, tiny fingers, perfect little cheeks — it is hard not to want to scoop him up.

Friends First, Clients Always

I have to say that I love this family and it is an honor to call them friends. I truly believe that God brings good people into your lives for a reason, and I know the Canedo family is one of them. It is always an honor when I get to photograph their family.

A Quick but Beautiful Newborn Session

Even though the session was quick — understandable, given mom was just days out from her c-section — we got some great pictures. Outdoor lifestyle newborn sessions are perfect for families who want soft, real-feeling portraits without a long studio production, and they tend to be especially gentle on a recovering mom.

Tips for Traveling for a Newborn Session

If you’re traveling in for a newborn session, plan a relaxed timeline, keep wardrobe simple, and don’t worry about a perfectly posed gallery — the real, snuggly, in-the-moment frames are the ones you’ll cherish. For families visiting from out of town, my 30A photography locations guide and visitor guide can help you plan your trip.

Planning Your Santa Rosa Beach Newborn Session

Here are a few sneak peek images from our photo session for you to enjoy — I hope you love them as much as I did taking them. See you soon, Canedo family, and bring back the gorgeous baby with you so I can pinch on those cheeks! And if you’re dreaming of a sweet beach newborn session like Cam’s, please contact me for detailed pricing and to reserve your due-date window with this 30A and Destin newborn photographer.
