Why choose Paloma Schell?
With over 15 years of experience in maternity, newborn, and baby photography, I offer exclusive, fully customized sessions focused on what truly matters at this stage: time, emotion, and lasting memories.
I recognize the significance of timing. Whether you're an expecting mom wishing to share your pregnancy before the baby arrives, or a new dad excited to announce the news of your newborn, I understand this moment cannot wait. To ensure a truly exceptional experience and fast turnaround (2 to 10 days), I photograph only three families per week. This allows me to give my full attention to every detail, even when you’re not at the studio.
Each image is carefully hand-edited, one by one, with an artistic eye and no batch processing. That level of care makes all the difference in your final gallery and your overall experience.
If you'd like to secure your date, reach out today. My schedule is limited and fills up quickly.
I’d be honored to discuss your session today!

She made us feel very comfortable, is very patient, and has a good eye for detail. We are very delighted with our experience which will definitely be a memorable one.
