As a South Bay newborn photographer, I know how quickly the first days with your baby slip by. The soft skin, sleepy stretches, the quiet weight of them in your arms. These are the moments we swear we’ll never forget, yet they fade faster than we expect. At Jenna Herscha Photography, I specialize in capturing the quiet magic of new life through imagery that’s emotive, timeless, and completely yours.

I work with families across Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes and beyond to preserve the beauty of this fleeting chapter. My approach is gentle, baby-led, and rooted in connection. So your images reflect not just how your baby looked, but how it felt to hold them close in those early days.

If you’re looking for a South Bay newborn photographer who blends artistry with a calm, baby-led approach, you’ve come to the right place. Because these photos aren’t just for now—they’re for always.

Why Choose Jenna Herscha Photography as your South Bay Newborn Photographer?

Newborn photography isn’t just about taking pictures. It’s about creating a space where your baby is safe, comfortable, and gently guided into sweet, natural poses. Through experience and a deep appreciation for the beauty of new life, I provide every family with:

• A Relaxed, Baby-Focused Experience: Sessions are slow-paced and always led by your baby’s needs. Whether they need a feeding break, a cuddle, or just a little extra time to settle in, we go at their pace.
• Timeless, Light-Filled Imagery: My style focuses on soft tones, natural light, and minimal distractions. This ensures the focus stays on what matters most: your baby and your love.
• Safety & Experience You Can Trust: I’ve photographed newborns throughout the South Bay area—from Redondo Beach and Palos Verdes to Manhattan Beach and beyond—and I take newborn safety very seriously. Every moment is done with your baby’s comfort as the top priority.

When to Book your South Bay Newborn Session

I recommend reaching out during your second trimester to reserve your spot on my calendar. While I’ll have a general idea of the timing, we will wait until your baby is here to actually schedule. Once your baby arrives, we’ll finalize a date based on how everyone is settling in. Since my style is lifestyle photography based, there’s really no rush to schedule right away. Typically I’m photographing babies between 2-6 weeks, but most importantly it’s when you are feeling ready.

What to Expect on Session Day

A typical newborn session lasts 1.5-2 hours, always following baby’s lead and allowing time for soothing, feeding, and diaper changes. Whether your session takes place in the comfort of your home or at a beautiful outdoor location, I’ll be there to make sure you are prepared and comfortable. From outfit planning to gently guiding your baby into natural poses and capturing heartfelt family moments, I create a calm, nurturing space where genuine connection shines through.

The Beauty of South Bay Newborn Photography

Living and working in the South Bay means I get to serve a warm, vibrant community of growing families. I’m proud to photograph babies from across Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula—each session inspired by your story and the unique bond you share with your little one. Whether you’re envisioning a coastal vibe or a cozy in-home session, the options here are endless.
