Berkeley Maternity & Newborn Photographer
Luxury maternity, newborn, and family photography serving Berkeley, California
Berkeley families — UC Berkeley academics, professionals from the Berkeley Hills, North Berkeley creatives, and longtime East Bay residents — choose Oh Baby Photography for one consistent reason: a complete luxury experience without the typical Bay Area à la carte pricing. Our Sacramento studio is 75–90 minutes east via I-80, with everything included from designer gowns to fine-art retouching.
Why Berkeley Families Drive to Sacramento
From the Elmwood district to Berkeley Hills, from Solano Avenue to Northbrae, our Berkeley clients drive to us because the East Bay's luxury maternity/newborn photography market is fragmented — vendor coordination, separate makeup artist, separate gown rental, per-image retouching fees. Our all-inclusive bundle eliminates all of that.

Frequently Asked Questions — Berkeley
How far in advance should I book my session from Berkeley?
We recommend booking 6–10 weeks ahead. Maternity sessions are best photographed at 28–34 weeks of pregnancy, and our most popular weekend slots fill up fastest in the spring and fall. Berkeley families often book during their second trimester to lock in their preferred dates.
What's included in a luxury maternity or newborn session?
Every Oh Baby Photography session includes professional hair and makeup, unlimited access to our Client Closet of designer maternity gowns, multiple posed and editorial setups, climate-controlled studio comfort, and high-end fine-art retouching on every final image. No upsells, no surprises.
Can I bring my partner and other children?
Absolutely — partners and siblings are welcome in the Comfort and Premium packages at no extra cost. Many Berkeley families turn their maternity or newborn session into a full-family portrait moment.
How long does it take to receive my photos?
Edited galleries are delivered within 2–3 weeks. Newborn galleries sometimes take a little longer because of the detail-heavy retouching, but you'll receive a few sneak-peek images within 48 hours.
