Just a little sampling of eight recent newborn shoots, each different, each capturing a little bit of the wonder of a newborn baby or babies:) I am so privleged in my business to be able to capture such a precious time… the first few days of life, it is truly amazing and humbling. I am so thankful for the trust parents give me and thankful for this life where I am living my passion. #elenagipsonphotography #southerncalifornianewbornphotographer #newbornportraits #fortheloveofbabiesandphotography

family portraits | for the love of the game | elena gipson photography

This session was so fun! This family loves BASEBALL, I mean truly loves it! So I figured why not ask the local stadium for an all access shooting pass… right! Before I show you this sneak peak I must take a side note…I love the town I live in! Lake Elsinore is a great place to live, work and play. We have the lake and we love to go boating and soak up the Southern California sun. We love our home. I am blessed with such a hardworking husband who loves to work, lol or at least sees the value of hard work and he gets things done. He has turned a house into a beautiful oasis villa inside & out. And lets just say Josh at the “Storm Stadium” is awesome. Thank you so much for allowing me to shoot in such an awesome venue. I called the manager up and stated I have lived in Lake Elsinore for ten years, a local business owner for 5 years and he was like sure you can come here, really…Wow! Come to Lake Elsinore for a game, for the lake or to live! Now back to this awesome family…. Can’t wait to share these… please tell me what you think, it was a pleasure!

newborn portraiture | Southern California Newborn Photography | elena gipson photography

It was such a delight to capture this little angel. Not only did I get to capture this baby girl and 6 days of life but also saw her come into this world. AMAZING! I have seen births before but this was so awesome, so peaceful. I was so grateful and it was a true blessing to be present at her birth, my great-neice Olive Abygail Velasquez. I love you precious little baby!
