Hello & Welcome

I’m Heather Nicole! Stylish and Simple Los Angeles newborn and family photographer, dog lover, and passionate about the natural beauty of coastal life.

I know firsthand how much you forget and how much simply goes unnoticed in the whirlwind of responsibilities.  In the early days of welcoming your baby, life can feel like a blur of feedings, emotions, and to-do lists. That’s why your newborn session is more than just photos—it’s a chance to pause and truly soak in the beautiful life you’ve created.  During our time together, everything else fades into the background so you can simply be present and savor these fleeting moments.  I specifically design the sessions to be calm, meaningful, and unforgettable. And when you look back at your portraits, they’ll be more than just images—they’ll be tangible memories of a time that passed all too quickly.

I offer a warm and inviting studio setting right outside Los Angeles, California in Redondo Beach.  I use more earthy tones and simple poses so the focus is on you & your little one.

Let’s document the precious early moments of your newborn’s arrival and beyond.

I am so happy you are here and I can’t wait to work together!

MY PROCESS

No two sessions are the same because no two little ones are the same! Every session is an adventure. While I keep my process consistent, I bring a calm, easygoing vibe that helps everyone feel comfortable from the start. Soft, flattering, and totally magical—studio lighting lets me create beautiful, consistent photos no matter the weather outside. No need to worry about the posing—I’ll help you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera offering easy prompts and simple direction. When it comes to babies, the best “poses’ are often the ones they choose themselves! I keep things relaxed and baby-led. I follow their lead to capture all the magic, giggles, and unexpected moments.

Oh baby, welcome to this world!

“We would highly recommend Heather Nicole Photography.  We needed a photographer last minute and she really came through for us. On top of all that, she was extremely flexible and was very helpful in coordinating with us. She offers fair pricing and even got our photos back to us quickly and they were great. If you hire Heather you won’t be disappointed.”

“Heather did an amazing job with our newborn photos!  She was on time.  She brought a great deal of props and had many ideas for setting, lighting and wardrobe.  We received an online album with a great deal of edited pictures that all looked really nice!”
