A San Diego Pediatrician Who Wants You to Feel Ready Before Baby Arrives: Meet Dr. Christy Roberts of Tiny But Mighty Pediatrics

If you have been following along here for any length of time, you know that my work goes far beyond taking pictures. It is about showing up for families during the most tender, fleeting, and extraordinary seasons of their lives. So when I have the chance to connect with someone whose mission aligns so completely with my own, I pay attention.

A few days ago I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Christy Roberts, the founder of Tiny But Mighty Pediatrics, and I left our meeting genuinely inspired.

She Is the Real Deal

Dr. Christy Roberts is a board-certified pediatrician, an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), and a mother. She has spent the last seven years walking alongside families and helping them feel confident during one of the most overwhelming transitions of their lives. The moment I met her I could feel her warmth. She is the kind of person who makes you feel completely at ease, and completely cared for, within minutes. Her passion for helping new and expecting parents is not just professional. It is deeply personal. She has lived this season herself, and it shows in everything she does.

What Makes Tiny But Mighty Different

Here is what struck me most: most newborn education is offered only after babies have already arrived, when parents are exhausted, overwhelmed, and trying to absorb information while also recovering and adjusting to a completely new life. Dr. Roberts saw that gap and built something to fill it beautifully.

Tiny But Mighty Pediatrics offers a bespoke, live online newborn education experience: grounded, thoughtful, and intimate rather than rushed or overwhelming. This is not your standard hospital class. This is personalized, physician-led education designed specifically for the season before your baby arrives, when you actually have the space to learn and absorb.

The Services She Offers

Dr. Roberts offers three thoughtfully designed services for expecting and new parents:

Newborn Live Course

A physician-led live online course covering everything you need to bring your baby home with confidence. Class size is intentionally limited to just 10 families, so every parent receives personalized attention, real answers to their questions, and the feeling of being part of a true community. What sets this apart is how far it goes beyond the basics, covering not only newborn care and feeding, but also the identity and relationship shifts that come with early parenthood. That kind of honesty is rare, and exactly what new parents need.

Prenatal Q&A Sessions

A private one-on-one session directly with Dr. Roberts to answer your specific questions before your baby arrives. If you have been carrying around a list of things you have been wanting to ask a pediatrician, this is exactly the space for that.

Concierge Baby Registry

A personalized consult that helps you build a thoughtful, pediatrician-approved, mom-tested baby registry, prioritizing safety, the true essentials, and your budget. As someone who works with expecting families every day, I cannot tell you how much I wish this had existed sooner. The mental load of preparing for a new baby is real, and having a board-certified pediatrician in your corner makes all the difference.

Why I Am Sharing This With You

The families I photograph are the same families Dr. Roberts serves. You are expecting your first baby, or your second, and you want to feel prepared, supported, and seen. You want more than generic advice from the internet. You want someone who actually knows what they are talking about, and who genuinely cares about your family’s wellbeing.

Dr. Roberts is that person.

If you are currently expecting and want to feel truly ready for what is ahead, I could not recommend Tiny But Mighty Pediatrics more wholeheartedly. Head to tinybutmightypediatrics.com to learn more and reserve your spot. Class sizes are kept small on purpose, so do not wait.

And if you are also dreaming of maternity or newborn portraits that will take your breath away, I would love to be your photographer.
