Although a little belated, I would love to share our beautiful newborn models from our newborn photography workshop held in the Oceanside beach house last month. Brittany not only enjoyed the company of all our wonderful attendees and the gorgeous families who participated, but also the awesome view of the dolphin-lined coast, surfers and a front row “seats” for the California Ironman Triathlon! Britt posted many, many more on the Baby as Art blog. Check it out! © carrie sandoval | baby

As a baby photographer, I usually don’t see my babies again until they have a new baby brother or sister. It’s so awesome to see the little people they have become. I photographed Sultan about a year and half ago and now he is a doting big brother to Mr. Abdulaziz. And little miss Lilly is so proud to introduce her baby brother, Oliver.

Thanks for checking in. I will be playing catch up this week. It’s been a busy April so far! All images © carrie sandoval | baby

Brittany and I put our heart and soul into our workshops… that’s a given. But, when it comes down to it, our tiny models are the ones who set the tone for the day. And these 2 little ladies were phenomenal! We breezed through all the poses and even got to step outside on this warm February afternoon! We cross our fingers that every workshop goes this smoothly. Thanks so much to the awesome families who lend us their precious babes!

Always happy to oblige to our clients requests! Little Drew is just 5 days old and looks simply dashing in dark hues, don’t you think?

Oh ya, she’s representin’! Thank you for being sleepy and adorable, miss Cali! © carrie sandoval | baby

I have been trying to prepare this blog post for the past two days in time for this special veterans day and now time is running out. None of my words seem worthy enough. Thankfully, Britt has put together a heartfelt blog post on the Baby as Art blog. Please visit to read about Sienna and her courageous family. Thank you for looking! image © carrie sandoval

I am determined to catch up this week! That means lots of blog posts… and that these will actually be sneak peeks! Meet little Evan. I photographed this little man last month. Such a cute little peanut! Thanks for looking! © carrie sandoval | newborn

Just sharing a few more images from our September Gas Lamp workshops. *Lots* more from Britt on the Baby as Art blog! © carrie sandoval | newborn photographer

Kylie’s session is one that was held hostage on my computer while it was in the shop for 3 weeks. So, this isn’t technically as sneak peek, but she is too sweet to not share! Thanks for being patient, Mommy and Daddy!

First and foremost, meet Mr. Maverick. Sleepy, handsome and just barely four days old!

Secondly, I apologize for my absence. And for the huge gap of babies not (yet) shared. Remember that record breaking heat wave we had a few weeks ago? Well, that day, my computer blew two processors and it has been in the MICU (aka Apple Store) ever since. Not to worry, my hard drives with all client images are safe and sound but I don’t have access to my sessions from Sept 8th – Sept 20. I know all our wonderful workshop models are antsy to see their galleries. Very soon, I hope!

Lastly, be on the look out for a jaw-dropping post from Britt on the Baby as Art blog. She is about to blog the most amazing outdoor baby pictures I’ve ever seen. Gorgeous, brand new baby + Glacier National Forest. Need I say more? © carrie sandoval | newborn photographer
