Really wanted to have my newborn pictures taken and they did awesome. My photographer, Rachel, came by and was a pro at handling my baby. She swaddled him and he was comfortable.. too comfortable that he wouldn't stop crying when she tried to take it off to take pictures with more skin. Great for him, but she wasn't able to get pictures of him without the swaddles which was unfortunate for me. She was friendly with us and super patient with our little one. Truth be told, she was even better at handling him than us haha. You can tell she is a pro at what she does and she took her time, allowing baby to be nursed when he was fussy and not rushing us at all. There were so many good pictures but they are very pricey so we ended up just getting the basic 8 pictures. Our family pictures turned out so good that even though we mainly wanted the pictures of the baby, we ended up picking 3 of the family poses. Thank you so so much, Rachel and Sweet Me Photography for helping us document such a precious time in our lives. read more

Very professional and great prices I loved the way photographer was able to calm my baby and take great pics read more

Pictures were darling. The photographer will have an assortment of the most lavish items. You'll have plenty to choose from but you can add your own as well. One of my favorite pictures is of my little guy wearing the blanket he wore when he was born. Photographer was over an hour late but she hit traffic and was coming from far. No biggie.-she communicated with us. I was home in no rush. Baby was fussy. Photography tried but baby wouldn't sleep no matter what she did. Thus went on for over an hour. And she has a lot of gadgets (shushers and heating lamps). Turned out baby was backed up. The Frida windi saved the day! Baby had an explosion. Then photographer got all the shots in less than 30 mins. I had to buy them ALL. Lol I bet you will, too! read more

Absolutely had a fantastic experience working with Sweet Me Photography. I was a little skeptical at first with working for a large company who hires photographers, but because it was such a last minute decision to do newborn photos, and we were moving from the Bay Area to Irvine, all other private photographers were booked. So I took a chance on Sweet me, and I'm so glad I did. A couple of days before the shoot, I received an email from the company with our photographers details and to expect a call from her. She reached out a couple of days later and she introduced herself and explained the process. She also answered any and all questions I had. On the day of our shoot, she showed up on time, with a mask on, and quickly set up her equipment in the living room. She provided all the props and outfits. The photoshoot took about 1.5 hours since my son was asleep the whole time! We were even able to get some family photos in. The photos came in about a month later, and I was completely shocked at how amazing they came out! My only complaint is that I couldn't chose 8, so I ended up buying the full package, which added an extra cost. I highly recommend Sweet Me Photography for your newborn photos. read more

I have a brand new baby that the world needs to know is absolutely adorable. So I booked some newborn photography. They were very flexible with planning knowing this was going to be after I deliver. If you deliver early or late they're willing to adjust. The photographer was great. She reached out to me in advance to let me know how the shoot would go and to finalize details. The day of, she showed up with a mask on and sanitizing to make sure the baby was protected. She was very friendly with my dog and willing to do family photos as well as newborn photos. She had a whole setup that didn't take up much space to be honest. She also had a full wardrobe to pick from and props. She popped my little one in and out of positions for a few hours and he didn't cry once. He was definitely ok with it all and getting fed into a milk coma to do it. In the end, the pics looked great and I have some great shots to hang in my house and share with friends and family. read more

Sweet Me Photography - My son's pic with Sweet Me Photography. - Session Photography Near Me

We had our newborn photoshoot recently. When we were searching for a company to do the shoots, we came across many photographers and all were charged over $1500 for photos. We found this company and it was $400 for 8 photos plus the session. The company basically assigns a photographer that is associated with the company to come out and do the photos and then they retouch the photos before sending them to you. You have the option to purchase more photos or the entire gallery for more $$$. But the 8 photos was enough for us. We emailed them our questions and details and they got back to us fairly quickly. They were very accommodating and flexible and able to book a date that worked for us. Heidi ended up being our photographer. She came out and wore a mask. The session was about 3 hours long. She worked with our baby's schedule and was very professional and knew how to calm our baby when she was fussy. In the end, she got amazing pictures. Would definitely pick this company again if we ever had another baby. read more

Sweet Me Photography did an amazing job capturing the most precious moments of my baby. The photos are beautiful and full of emotion. I'm so grateful and will cherish them forever. Highly recommend! read more

So happy we chose this company for our newborn photos! We were so busy preparing for our first baby that we didn't think about photos until after he was born. We were able to book right away despite it being so last minute. We had Heather as our photographer and she was so great! She makes you feel very comfortable while handling the baby and props. It's clear she is experienced in this field. She's great at helping you pick colors/outfits/backgrounds without it feeling overwhelming and she's very easy to talk to :) I would love to use her again for any future pictures of our baby. We also got our proofs and our final edited pictures pretty fast which I appreciated with it being so close to Christmas. Would definitely use this company again. read more

Sweet Me Photography - Heather calming our fussy little one. - Session Photography Near Me

Our photographer came to our place and worked with our baby so well! I was afraid my fussy baby that easily wakes wouldn't make it through a session but omg she worked wonders with her and our photos came out so good ! Totally worth it ! A little on pricier side but def can tell the quality vs other baby photos studios they are also flexible and in many areas in southern ca which is a plus read more

We had a great experience with Sweet Me photography. The whole session ran very smoothly and was very professional. The photographer took great care in handling our little one and the pictures turned out amazing! read more

Our photo session for our newborn son was almost a year ago and the only thing I can say is they're really professional. The photographer, Heidi, knew how to soothe a baby in seconds and she was so helpful and cooperative that she never let the baby cry. She gave some breaks for feeding and cuddles, too. The best thing is they come to your house and make everything ready for you. We were also satisfied with the photos as a result. I can highly recommend this business read more

Had a session with Becca today. She was absolutely amazing with my newborn and 4 year old. My newborn is almost 6 weeks old so more alert. She had her fussy moments but Becca's calming/soothing energy and experience helped our baby relax enough to sleep intermittently to capture some great photos. I was a little nervous about our session but Becca's relaxed and positive demeanor helped me calm down and feel as though my baby was in good hands. I loved the variety of accessories, outfits, and backdrops she brought and how efficient she was capturing a variety of photos in different outfits w/ different accessories. Positive experience overall! read more

Love this company and the photographers. The lady doing my newborn photos was great and patient and the photos turned out great but when it came to newborn pics with me and my husband and the baby. The pictures were horrendous. I'm naturally brown but they made me look 50 times darker in the photos. Looked super dull. And when I ordered the prints it was even worse. Was very disappointed with the family portraits. Sadly won't be using them or recommending them. read more

I absolutely loved my experience with Sweet Me! They were super helpful and communicated with me through the whole process. My photographer was Brandi and she was amazing! She was great with our newborn and captured some amazing moments, she came fully prepared and setup quickly, I was impressed with all her equipment and the variety of props she had with her. I highly recommend this company and their photographers! read more

The picture quality was absolutely great! My assigned photographer did an AMAZING JOB. She listened to any concerns and gave great tips and tricks as far as choosing outfits to backgrounds so everything matched the best. She was so GENTLE AND PATIENT with my then 5 day old. She captured him perfectly and was open to using any props or outfits we had in mind. She showed up on time and prepared with every baby gadget to soothe him to sleep to capture the sweetest moments on film. I will DEFINITELY use this company again for his 1 year old photos. read more

The whole process was amazing and super easy. I made a last minute appointment and was able to get a session within 3 days. Communication with the company was quick and detailed from beginning to end. Our wonderful photographer, Karen, contacted us a few days prior to the session to introduce herself and give us a few instructions to help our newborn be happy and calm. The day of his photoshoot, which took place in the comfort of our home, Karen was extremely patient and sweet with our little sleep fighter. She was super friendly and I felt comfortable having her in my home. She provided all the cute outfits and staged our living room with the backgrounds for the pictures. The fact that she stayed a little over the timed session to get pictures of all the outfits chosen, speaks volumes of her. Once the session was over, we received an email stating the pictures will be sent to us in 10 days. We ended up choosing the package with all the pictures and received the complete edited online album within less then 10 days! I was so happy to share them with my family and friends. Thank you again Sweet Me Photography and Karen! read more

I had the best experience with Jennifer she was so nice and caring. Affordable prices for newborn photos compared to a lot of other companies.

Thank you sweet me photography read more

Service and information is very straight forward and professional. There's no surprise expensive product add-ons to the packages which has happened to me in my first child's newborn session from another company. It truly is affordable with the convenience of arrangements in our home. I was able to request an inclusion of my traditional wedding gown with baby and our photographer Briawna was very accommodating. And truly patient with our toddler that would typically be a little bashful or uncooperative with unfamiliar instructions. We got some great pics and different shots to work with. I got to pick diff headbands she brought and possible poses and wraps that was incorporated. Recommended this company to 2 more of my mommy-to-be's that will be booking as well. read more

Sweet Me Photography is amazing! They were so easy to work with and schedule a newborn session. Karen was the photographer and absolutely fabulous. The amount of patience she has was truly wonderful. Sweet Me Photography did a newborn shoot when our little girl was just 6 days old. The photos came out amazing, they were truly all that we could have wished for and more! I would highly recommend them to any and all needing to schedule a newborn shoot. I also loved the fact that they came to our home, it made it easy and comfortable. Plus the amount of backgrounds and outfits they bring is more than enough. Karen listened to what type of pictures we were looking for and truly delivered. Thank you Sweet Me Photography for capturing this moment that we will cherish forever. read more

Sweet Me Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Heidi was the photographer for my newborn. She was amazing! The pics came out perfectly. Great angles and props. She handled my little one amazingly and put him back to sleep when he woke up. Would deff recommend read more

Booking was fairly simple and the pricing was somewhat affordable- especially compared to what others want. I was disappointed that my photographer was over 1 hour late. I received a message stating that I had to bathe my son prior to the shoot and then nurse him to get him extra sleepy. Well I went ahead and woke him up, bathed him, nursed him only to look At my phone expecting the photographer to say she's outside only to see she's late and won't be there for another hour due to rain. Being late is already unprofessional but I feel like when dealing with a newborn there should be extra caution. Rain was in the forecast, we all know there's traffic with rain- plan qheqe Luckily the photos came out great, after about an hour of trying we got my son to fall asleep. I purchased 8 photos and I'm happy with them and glad I used this service. EDIT: I did receive a call from the head of Customer Service. She apologized for my experience with the photographer being so late. It was nice to see they cared enough to contact me. I really appreciated it. read more

A year later, and of all of the photos my son has taken as an infant, these were the worst by far. I used this service for my baby in Aug 2021 and I *never* recommend Sweet Me. They are the most affordable in-home newborn photographers , so they continue to book clients, but I found that my son's photos were very generic. Smiling and open eyes are very discouraged. I fought and fought to have my sons hair featured in photos (ie: no hats). Looking back on the photos, I see that I lost most of the time. A year later, the only photos where I can see his beautiful hair are the ones where he was placed on my husband's LA Kings jersey (so the photog did not have a special hat to force on him). Those are the only photos with personality. I commuicated with my photog prior to the shoot and ket her know that i wanted rainbow elements (she said she had rainbow decor to use), she did not even attembt rainbow acessories in the day of the shoot and i forgot to renind her (probably because I spent so much time asking her not to use hats) . I also wanted a simple Mommy & Me shot. She botched this. Gave me no direction ans shot it at a horrible angle. It was difficult to choose 8 shots from the ones presented to me, because I only liked 2-3. A year later, I still don't like them and had better luck with various local photographers When I complained to the business owners, they offered NOTHING. No reshoot. No discount. read more

Becca is extremely talented and was incredible throughout this entire process. I was in awe at not only how gentle she was with my son, but how she was able to coax him back to sleep--I learned a few things from watching her too :). I had originally purchased the 8-image package, but ended up buying a total of 50 because we couldn't narrow it down--the photos were too good. Becca captured so many different expressions and poses, and we are so thrilled with how the pictures turned out. read more

Heather was our photographer and she was so great! She showed up to do a rapid test and even took off her shoes without me asking (asian household). I texted her some photos I liked from Sweet Me's Instagram and she was able to recreate them with my baby! She truly is the baby whisper, I've never seen my baby so calm with his clothes off. Afterwards, the company was able to edit my photos to my liking and sent it over quickly! read more

All things considered I would NOT rebook and I would HIGHLY caution parents considering booking them. Our photographer was very nice and sweet - she was patient with our baby and remained calm the entire time so we appreciate that very much. I do however think that her appearance was a bit unprofessional as she came in what I would call pajamas, and her hair was in a bun that looked like she just came out of bed. This main reason for this review however, is more on the hygiene and cleanliness of the clothing and outfits used in our baby's session. The day following the session, our baby had a rash on her neck, chest and arms. We can't say for sure if it came from the clothing or backdrop used but all we know is she didn't have it before. We noticed that our photographer used Lysol Cleaning Spray on a few of the items.... Why would she need to do that of everything is clean? Lastly, the cloth used for the backdrop was one that she said she just used the day prior, so that kinda made us think twice if it was washed or not. Unfortunately, we thought about a little too late. The pictures came out nice and we're grateful for them but were really shocked when our baby had that rash that lasted over a week. Again, parents just be careful. read more

So happy with our son's photos! Admidst all this crazy Covid-19 crisis going on currently we were lucky to have been able to get our newborn photo session done with Sweet Me Photography prior to being put on the mandatory stay at home order. Our photographer was Karyn who was awesome. She texted and called a day or two prior to the session to introduce herself and go over a few things to prepare. Day of the session she came on time (even though it was raining) and immediately set up while I nursed our son. She did such a great job at keeping him calm and putting him to sleep to get the cute photos. Love that they bring the studio to you so the session can be done in the comfort of your own home. read more

We had an awesome experience with Tayrin and Jen! Their professionalism and kindness was beyond what we expected. From the minute we walked in, we felt welcomed and comfortable, they entertained all of our silly questions and they were just so down to earth. During our family pictures they made sure we all look good for the picture and ensured they captured the best most flattering angles for my husband and I. During our baby's session they were calm and patient and most important they made sure baby was confortable and felt cared for. Thank you Tayrin and Jen! You two rock! Next baby we'll be calling Sweet Me Photography again! Shhh don't tell my husband I'm already planning our next baby Hehehe. read more

The price and set up is so hard to beat with this place! For $375 they come to your house with all of the equipment and are true baby whisperers! Michelle was AMAZING and calmed our extremely fussy, reflux plagued :( baby down enough to take all of the pictures we wanted. We let her give us advice on poses and colors and she gave us various options. But, if you have an idea of what you want she will do that too! We got the photo gallery back super quick and the edits were in our hands within only a few days! Perfect timing for the holidays. I highly recommend them. They do charge $100 for an additional 4 photos, which you will definitely want, so be prepared. They are just too cute to pass up once you get your gallery back!! read more

Love the company and our newborn photos. I know there's a lot of competition but this company comes to your home and makes it all happen beautifully! Thank you! read more

I was fortunate enough to have Brandi Hernandez. She is not only incredibly talented, but she's super kind and patient. My son has an ostomy bag, and Brandi still was able to capture the most amazing photos. I am so pleased with the level of professionalism and care. She has taken newborn photos for both my boys. Happy happy customer. read more

I loved our photographer and photography session. It was so convenient that they came to our house. The photographer, Michelle, was so good with my newborn.

I highly recommend Sweet Me Photography. read more

I would highly recommend Heather as your photographer for your newborn shoot! read more

Thank you very much to Sweet Me Photography for the great experience we had. We had an opportunity to take pictures of our newborn son and our daughter. Even their schedule was full, they helped me to send a photographer and make our kids photography happen in a convenient way. I really like our photographer Karin who was very patient and professional with the baby. Another great thing about them was that they bring all accessories and you can choose how many outfits you want. I would definitely recommend a friend to them! read more

Absolutely amazing experience! Couldn't of asked for a more professional photographer! Not only was the end result fantastic, but being a brand new Mom I was a little nervous having someone else handle my daughter!

Such an awesome experience and I highly recommend!!! read more

Sweet Me Photography - Session Photography Near Me

We had the best experience with Sweet Me Photography! My son had his photos taken last week and we worked with Julie and Michelle. They were so incredibly patient with my little guy. He was awake for 2 hours and wouldn't stay still but Michelle rocked him and was so sweet and gentle with him. He finally fell asleep and we got some great shots. I knew my little guy was in good hands. I definitely recommend Sweet Me Photography if you are looking to get your baby photographed by someone that is knowledgeable, professional and gentle with your baby. Everything was wonderful from start to finish. Melissa was my point of contact for scheduling a time for the session. She was responsive and called the day before to remind me of my session. They work very fast because I was able to view my son's gallery within a few days. I love the simple and clean style. I can't wait to get the final images! Thanks so much Sweet Me Photography! read more

BEST SERVICE & NEWBORN PICS I COULD HAVE ASKED FOR! Having this done in the comfort of your home is awesome! Our photographer was professional and a baby expert in our eyes! Not only did she help feed our baby, but was able to calm her down and work with our little one! At first, we were kinda dreading the process, but the photographer made it so easy for us. We also didn't expect to receive an abundance of images we liked, and was just hoping for at least 1-3 photos to our liking, but once we saw the proofs - we had to order all of them! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! read more
