Light and Airy Newport Beach Maternity Session in Studio
I was so happy when Joey reached out to me to capture this last pregnancy with her baby girl. Since she never had maternity photos taken with her other boys, she was thrilled to document this special occasion.
WARDROBE
This maternity session was in-studio, which allowed for wardrobe changes. Our client closet offers a wide variety of beautiful dresses that make Mom feel special. For Moms that would like photos with multiple dresses, this is a great option that isn’t available when choosing an outdoor location.
Joey looked stunning in both of the dresses she chose for her session.
HAIR AND MAKEUP
With so many things to think about preparing for your little one, we like to take one item off your list by providing hair and makeup services with our sessions. After some well-deserved pampering, Mom will feel beautifully relaxed and confident for her photos.
It was such an honor capturing these special moments for this family. They will cherish the time they took to document this season and will have wonderful memories to share with their daughter.
I am so excited for this family and I can’t wait for the newborn session to meet their precious baby girl!

Newborn Session at Newport Beach Studio
Margi and Kyle were thrilled to welcome their precious baby girl Casey and it was such an honor to capture her first portraits. This time can be such a blur and it is my job to ensure that you have wonderful memories to look back on from those early days with your baby.
While I started with baby Casey’s solo portraits, Mom was able to relax and have some well-deserved pampering while our stylist worked on her hair and makeup. After sleepless nights feeding and changing your newborn, the last thing you need to worry about is coordinating appointments. That’s why Moms just love our hair and makeup services.
After Mom chose a beautiful dress from our client closet, we continued with family portraits. We always start the newborn session swaddling the babies so they are sleepy and content, just like in the womb. As we move to different poses, sometimes your little one will open their eyes and give us a contented smile. We were able to capture so many adorable photos of sweet Casey by herself and with Mom and Dad. It really is something special capturing these first family photos.
I am so excited to watch Casey grow this year and honored to document these loving family memories. The best part of the experience is helping Mom design a beautiful first-year album and installing their gallery wall, which Dad really appreciated! As quickly as this season passes, they will be glad to have these beautiful photos to look back on.

Planning a Six-Month Sitter Milestone Session | Newborn Photographer in Newport Beach
As a Mom and newborn photographer in Newport Beach, the six-month milestone is one of my favorite sessions! You get a glimpse into their special personalities, facial expressions and their silly side shines through.
What is a six-month sitter milestone session?
We often refer to this as the "sitter session" because it is usually around the time we capture a few portraits of baby showing off their sitting skills. Each baby is different and not all are sitting on their own yet at six months - and that's totally ok! We can still capture their personality and other fun things they do. Or you can wait until the 7th or 8-month mark when they sit independently.
When do we book this?
Many of our families choose the Baby's First Year Collective which guarantees them a spot on our calendar. It is why we are fully booked so many months in advance! If you are not one of our collective clients, I would suggest reaching out a few months in advance to get your milestone session scheduled.
We know how busy life can be with a little one. That is why we are proud to offer a full-service experience. We offer personalized styling for your family so you don’t have to worry about shopping. Our client wardrobe has many options for Mom, kids clothing and accessories for little girls’ hair. Dad just needs a pair of pants and shoes, we provide the shirt.
Since every Mom deserves to be pampered, we schedule the hair and makeup artist for you, either in studio or they come to you.

One Year Milestone Portraits in Newport Beach Studio | Baby’s First Year Collective
The first year goes by in a blink and it is hard to believe that we are already celebrating Camille turning one in our Newport Beach studio.
This is why I always try to stress the importance of the first year collective. Life gets busy and time goes by so fast. We make sure to capture all of those precious milestones so that your family has treasured memories to look back on.
I have been working with this family for years! Our wonderful story/friendship started with their engagement and wedding and it has truly been an honor to document their two precious little ones as they grow!
WARDROBE
Camille looked so sweet in a blush tulle dress with a petite headband.
Then the siblings put on their matching jean jackets…adorable!
A quick wardrobe change into a sparkly tulle dress and Camille was ready for her cake smash!
Mom, Dad and the kids took advantage of the many options in the client wardrobe.
TIME FOR CAKE
We started the milestone portraits by capturing the sweet personality of the birthday girl. Look at those poses, she’s a natural! So many shots with that beautiful smile. Mom, Dad and brother Liam decided to join in on the fun! I just love documenting how much big brother adores little Camille.
We brought out the cake and Camille wasn’t sure what to do. But she did test the frosting and even shared with Liam. What a lovely way to celebrate her first birthday!
Whether you make it a full family celebration or just your precious one year old, don’t miss out on documenting this exciting milestone! We make it easy for you, providing everything that you need right here in the studio, other than the cake itself. You can read a little bit more about preparing for your cake smash session, including our favorite bakeries in Orange County, here.

How Old Should Baby Be For A Newborn session? | Newport Beach Newborn Photographer
When I first chat with Moms, one of the most common questions asked during the consultation call is: When is the best time to schedule the newborn session?
Now, I know each photographer is different in what they choose for their studio. I always say there is an ideal time frame, but if you need to wait, we can wait!
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SCHEDULE A NEWBORN SESSION?
The ideal time frame is 12-14 days old. The baby is sleepiest during those first few weeks, which means the session will run smoothly and be less stressful for Mom.
It is, however, very common that Moms choose to wait 3-4 weeks depending on what their recovery was like or how the baby is doing, etc.
CAN WE DELAY THE SESSION?
Yes - absolutely! The last thing I want is for an exhausted Mom to have anxiety about doing a newborn session before she is ready or comfortable.
I have photographed babies that were 10 weeks old and still had amazing photos. It just takes a little longer to get the baby to sleep. With our full service portrait experience, we take the stress off of busy moms.
CAN THE FAMILY, INCLUDING SIBLINGS, JOIN THE PORTRAITS?
Of course! We always include the entire family during our full sessions which are newborn, maternity or family portraits.
With toddler siblings, it can definitely be an adjustment period and the transition can be hard. We have some tricks and goodies to get portraits with younger siblings, but we never force any child into a portrait or situation they are uncomfortable with.
WHEN DO YOU BOOK THESE SESSIONS?
We book newborn sessions months in advance with some clients telling us they are pregnant as soon as they find out! It's never too early to get on the calendar. We reserve your session as a tentative due date and take a limited number of newborns each month.
As soon as baby arrives, let us know and we will get your official date scheduled on the calendar.
*Moms get professional hair and makeup done in the studio during the baby's individual portraits. Wardrobe is borrowed from our Client Closet.

Studio Maternity Session with Sibling in Newport Beach
We love when clients share their experience and recommend our photography studio to friends and family! Tatiannya’s family drove several hours to reach our Newport Beach studio and we were honored to capture this special studio maternity session with their second baby.
MATERNITY SESSION IN STUDIO
I loved documenting these precious moments with this beautiful family! Big sister was so sweet and loved taking pictures in her adorable dress. I am sure they will cherish the time they took to celebrate the coming arrival of their newest little one. They were the sweetest and I am so excited for them to welcome their baby!
WARDROBE
We know there are so many things to think about when preparing for a new baby, so we make life a little easier by offering a wide variety of gorgeous dresses in our client closet. An additional advantage to a studio maternity session is the choice of wardrobe changes. Mom simply glowed in both of the dresses she chose for her session.
HAIR AND MAKEUP
We also remove the stress of coordinating appointments by providing professional hair and makeup services before our sessions. Mom gets a little time for some well-deserved pampering and feels beautifully relaxed and confident for her session.

Maternity Photoshoot in Newport Beach Studio
I recently wrote a blog post on why maternity sessions are so special and why you should do one. For a lot of my clients, deciding on a location for their maternity session can be hard. Being in Orange County, we have beautiful the most beautiful parks and beaches for outdoor sessions. But for some, my Newport Beach studio is a better option for their family’s maternity photoshoot.
Why do Your Maternity Session in the Studio?
Consistency
In the studio, we’re able to control lighting and schedule your sessions at times that allow for consistency both throughout your session and from session to session. This can be particularly appealing when creating an album or designing artwork from multiple sessions.
Fewer Distractions
While outdoors provides more space for your little one(s) to roam around and explore, it can sometimes be overwhelming. In the studio, there are fewer distractions and they can take a break if they need to. Then, after a quick break, we can pop them back in photos when they're ready. Meanwhile, you can trust they are safe and enjoy your photos!
Weather
Rain or shine, we can do your maternity photoshoot in the studio. You also don’t have to worry about the temperature, which can be really important during certain seasons and the further along you are in your pregnancy. It’s often easier for Dad and little ones as well!
Maternity sessions are also time-sensitive, so rescheduling is not always an option. Even if you are planning for an outdoor maternity session, I’d consider being open to a studio maternity session in the event of weather conflicts.
Convenient
Studio sessions are honestly just convenient. It’s easy to get to, you don’t have to worry about parking or crowds, and it’s also comfortable. Once you arrive at the studio, there’s plenty of room to relax, the wardrobe room will be available for you to make final selections and change, and then once you’re ready we get started with your session. Everything is in one place and when you’re pregnant, that’s always a bonus!
It’s safe to say that I love maternity sessions in the studio! There is a simplicity about them that allows the focus to be on you and your family, creating timeless portraits for you to enjoy for years to come.
I’m so excited for this sweet family and loved having them in the studio. This was the first of several sessions together. Baby girl will join their family in December and then we’ll be documenting her first year!

Why Maternity Sessions are So Special and Why You Should Do One
I hear from friends, family and clients all the time that they wish they had taken maternity photos. You don’t realize it in the moment, but pregnancy goes by SO fast, and sadly, maternity photos are time-sensitive and not something you can “just do later.” I want nothing more as a maternity photographer in Orange County than to be able to make sure you are able to preserve the memories from this special time.
Whether this is your first baby, second, or your last, you are going to want to remember this time in your life. Each baby is so special, each entering into your family with his/her own story. That’s worth celebrating.
With your first, you don’t know what to expect. Everything is exciting and the days of it just being you and your partner are coming to a close. But, with that comes the most exciting adventure. Celebrate the love you share and all that comes with anticipating the arrival of your firstborn!
If it’s not your first, you know. You know just how fast it all goes and how much you don’t want to forget what it was like. Take this time to celebrate your family dynamic as it is, and create memories with your older children. Their whole world is about to change, so having this special time with Mom and Dad before their baby brother or sister arrives is so special.
It may seem like maternity photos are more for you right now and not necessary, but years from now, they will be such a priceless gift for your son and/or daughter. I promise you’ll never regret taking them.
Kennedy Family Maternity Session
These three could not be more excited for their baby girl to join them! We met up for an outdoor maternity session in Irvine. It was a beautiful night with a golden hour sunset that did not disappoint!
Big brother, Greyson, is SO sweet and truly just the happiest little boy. He was all smiles, making my job pretty easy! I cannot wait to see him with his sister soon for her newborn session. We’ll be documenting her first year, adding to her first-year album after each session. I’ve been designing more and more albums lately and I love it!
Hair and makeup were provided for Mom and wardrobe for the family borrowed from the client closet.

Studio Maternity Session for Baby #3
I am not sure who is more excited to welcome baby #3 (a girl!) into the family! She is already SO loved and is going to have the best big brother and big sister. Their excitement was really fun to photograph, and I am so glad Mom and Dad chose to do a studio maternity session!
Although life is busy and this is baby #3, Mom and Dad are being so intentional with documenting this season for everyone. Mom is actually coming back for an intimate maternity session in the studio, and then we’ll be photographing their baby girl’s newborn session and documenting her first year.
Before the session, Mom had her hair and makeup done and then picked out a beautiful off-the-shoulder dress. She looked absolutely stunning. One thing that struck me throughout their session was her smile. She genuinely looks SO happy and totally in her element as a Mama!
As much as this studio maternity session is about documenting baby #3, it’s about celebrating who they are as a family of four. I was sure to take photos of Mom with each of the kids and Dad with each of the kids so they could have their own special moment before their baby sister arrives.
This is just the beginning of being able to document this growing family’s story, and I could not be more honored to be their photographer. We have already started an album to document baby’s first year and will be creating a gallery wall in their Newport Beach home. Be sure to follow along!

Maternity Photography Session in Newport Beach | Studio Session
There’s something about time that changes when you become a parent. It never slows down, and I think you realize that more and more with each child you add to your family. Sara and Marc are preparing to welcome their third baby soon and they know all too well how quickly these early years pass. They have never had maternity photos taken and I am so thankful that in their search for a maternity photography session in Newport Beach, they found me!
As this sweet family prepares to welcome baby #3, they are also anticipating a big surprise- baby’s gender! I have had a few clients recently waiting to find out the gender and I think it’s just so special. But as excited as they are to welcome this sweet baby, Sara and Marc are savoring every moment with big brother, Christopher, and sister, Emilia.
To celebrate what is and what is to come, they opted for a studio maternity session. I recently shared four reasons why I love studio sessions, and all of these things are true for maternity as well. Sara chose two different dresses from the client closet and looked absolutely stunning! Emilia wasn’t so sure about the camera but loved snuggling with Mom and both she and Christopher were so cute!
I am so excited for these four to meet their newest family member soon. Will it be a boy or a girl? You’ll have to check back for their newborn session to see!

Beach Maternity Session at Crystal Cove | Orange County, CA
Lately, I’ve spent most of my time photographing newborns and milestone sessions in my studio in Newport Beach. And while the studio is my happy place, I love the beach just as much! I met up with Bree and Aaron for their maternity session at Crystal Cove. It was a beautiful day at the beach and I had the best time getting to know these two.
Lately, I’ve spent most of my time photographing newborns and milestone sessions in my studio in Newport Beach. And while the studio is my happy place, I love the beach just as much! I met up with Bree and Aaron (and their furbaby, Bernie!) for their maternity session at Crystal Cove. It was a beautiful day at the beach and I had the best time getting to know these two.
I knew this was going to be a really special maternity session. Bree and Aaron are ecstatic for their rainbow baby and were beaming the entire session. They know just how precious this little life is and truly are soaking up every moment before his arrival. As both a photographer and mom that has experienced loss, it’s such an honor to be able to document their maternity session.
Bree wanted to do their maternity session at Crystal Cove because she grew up here. Her grandparents lived there for many years and it’s a place that feels like home to her. Having this added sentimental element to their maternity session, along with knowing their journey to get here was really special.
In just a few short weeks they will get to hold their precious boy and I can’t lie, I’m already counting down the days until I get to see these two again and meet him! Lucky for me, I get to document his first year and I could not be more excited!

Family Maternity Session in Lake Forest, CA | Orange County Maternity Photographer
Eveline and Helvin are so excited to welcome the birth of their fourth baby in just a few weeks. Mom really wanted a family maternity session in a beautiful wooded tree location in Lake Forest to document this special time. We could not have asked for a better evening together. I had the best time getting to know this sweet family!

Mom really wanted a family maternity session in a beautiful wooded tree location in Lake Forest to document this special time. We could not have asked for a better evening together. I had the best time getting to know this sweet family!
The kids were so sweet together and adore their mama. They also enjoyed being able to explore, which is a big reason I love going to this location in Lake Forest. It’s rarely crowded, safe for the kids, and of course, absolutely beautiful for pictures.
Mom is wearing a client favorite from the AWP client wardrobe. We put the rest of the family in a mix of soft pinks and blues and I love how it all came together. What you wear can really impact the overall look of your photos, but I never want it to be a source of stress.
In general, I do recommend soft, neutral colors. Not only do these colors work best with my style of photography, but they are just timeless. It also helps if you’re booking a first year collective or do multiple sessions over the years. Your photos will be cohesive throughout and that’s important when building a gallery wall or album.
But don’t let any of this overwhelm you. I am here to help, every step of the way!
I’ve had so much fun getting to know these five and cannot wait to meet their newest baby soon!

Outdoor Sunset Maternity Session in Orange County with the Ortiz Family
I had the honor of photographing this sweet family’s outdoor sunset maternity session in Orange County. We could not have asked for better weather or a more perfect evening. It’s been a while since I have photographed a maternity session at Serrano Creek Park and this night reminded me why I love it so much!
I had the honor of photographing this sweet family’s outdoor sunset maternity session in Orange County. We could not have asked for better weather or a more perfect evening. It’s been a while since I have photographed a maternity session at Serrano Creek Park and this night reminded me why I love it so much!
The trees made for a stunning backdrop and the boys, Jackson and Lincoln, loved running around and enjoying the nature all around us. While they explored, it gave Mom and Dad a chance to enjoy some portraits alone. Every so often the boys would come to join and it was the perfect balance of having them interested in photos and giving them breaks. The oldest, Jackson, even shared his opinion on what spots he thought would be good for the photos. So cute!
Photoshoots can be hard on little ones, but I have found that if we let them explore and be kids, they are much more likely to cooperate and be excited to join in on family photos. Each of the boys loved kissing and hugging Mom’s belly and it was so sweet. These two already share such a fun bond, and I know they are going to have the best time when they add their newest baby brother to the mix!
Jaime's lace dress is from our Client Wardrobe and she looked absolutely gorgeous in it. Her smile and overwhelming joy for this little baby were not only exciting to photograph but an honor to witness. I know just how sacred this season is and will never take being a motherhood photographer for granted.
I'm so excited to meet their baby in a few weeks! And since they are a Baby's First Year Collective Member, I'll be able to document his milestones this next year.

Maternity Session at Corona del Mar | Newport Beach Newborn and Family Photographer
One thing I love most about being an Orange County Newborn and Family Photographer is the different families I get to meet. My last maternity session was with first-time parents and this sweet family I get to share with you today is about to welcome their third baby - a boy! To celebrate, we did a maternity session at Corona del Mar beach.

My last maternity session was with first-time parents and this sweet family I get to share with you today is about to welcome their new addition to the family! To celebrate, we did a maternity session at Corona del Mar beach.
I have come to absolutely adore this family. Danielle and Shane have the sweetest girls and I loved seeing the bond they all share. Baby boy doesn't know it yet, but he’s entering into the most loving family and going to have the best big sisters.
Another exciting thing about this session was it was their first maternity session. Danielle chose one of my favorite dresses from the client wardrobe and looked absolutely beautiful. She commented on several occasions how relaxed, easy and fun I made it for them. That truly is my goal. I want this to be a time you can just be in the moment and create the most beautiful memories with your family!
And oh how I wish I could have just bottled up the excitement and joy radiating from their two girls. They laughed and played the whole time and we couldn't keep them out of the water. I know their baby brother is going to fit right in, and I am already counting down the days until I get to see them all again!

Maternity Photoshoot in Irvine at the Jeffrey Open Space Trail
The anticipation of your first baby is so surreal. It’s something you can’t truly understand until you are in it. The emotions are often overwhelming in the best way, mixed with some nerves and a lot of excitement. This could not be more true for Jamie and Tong. We had the best time during their maternity photoshoot in Irvine at the Jeffrey Open Space Trail.

I loved being able to witness first-hand (and photograph!) this milestone for them! As we walked around the park, people on walks and bikes would comment on how beautiful and glowing Jamie was. Her dress was beautiful against the backdrop and looks like it was made just for her. We could not have asked for a more beautiful, golden sunset or evening for their maternity session.
I am so excited for these two to become parents and welcome their son. Meanwhile, I am eagerly anticipating his arrival so I can photograph his newborn session! It will be the first of many sessions over this next year, as he is officially part of the AWP collective membership!

Huntington Beach Maternity Photoshoot | Szajda Family
This is the sweetest family! I've had the pleasure of capturing their maternity, newborn, and family photos over the last few years. I am excited to share their Huntington Beach maternity photoshoot with you and soon, their baby girl!

Next to snuggling all the babies, I think the best thing about being a Huntington Beach photographer is getting to capture the love and laughter between a family. These four (soon to be five!) LOVE to laugh. Their joy is contagious and I absolutely loved spending my evening with them!
After taking some family photos, the boys had fun playing in the sand while I took a few photos of Mom and Dad together. There is one photo of the two of them that stops me every time I look at it. This is a photo their daughter will cherish one day - she will be able to see how much love there was as they anticipated her arrival!
I hope you enjoy this maternity session on the beach as much as I did! Oh, and be sure to scroll to see Aiden in his leather jacket. It may be my favorite photo op request yet!

Laguna Beach Maternity | Melany & Jared
Ever since becoming a mom, you instantly want to find a community of mama’s going through the same season of life as you are. And for me, that was The New Mom School! I’ve found so many connections through this mom tribe and that’s how I met Melany. She wanted to celebrate this pregnancy with a photo session on the beach - and I always love Laguna Beach! It was a beautiful day chasing their daughter through the sand and running towards the waves. I can’t wait to meet your son in the next coming months!

Why You Should Do A Maternity Session
So first things first, obviously I am a photographer - but as a mama myself, I always recommend doing a maternity session to friends, clients or expectant mamas I meet in line at Target. I know there are so many hesitations or excuses we give ourselves, but I’m sharing 3 reasons to do a maternity session.
So first things first, obviously I am a photographer - but as a mama myself, I always recommend doing a maternity session to friends, clients and expecting mamas. I know there are so many hesitations or excuses we give ourselves, but I’m here to ease your nerves!
What is a maternity session?
It’s a photoshoot with just you, your spouse/partner and any other children you may have. It’s totally up to you who you want to include in these photos. It’s a somewhat new thing in the past 7-10 years.
After working with my clients, so often I hear is that they skipped out on one with their last pregnancy and regretted it.
3 REASONS TO DO A MATERNITY SESSION
It’s a time to celebrate your child growing inside you and embrace your body as it is. Our bodies can do some pretty incredible things!
You will forget what it’s like. We all know how fast time flies by and long after you’ve had your little one, it’s almost hard to imagine what you looked like - a distant memory. I had my own photos taken while I was pregnant and my daughter points to the frame on the wall at my tummy and says, baby. It’s such a special time regardless of how the pregnancy may have been - to have gone through it and now have our babies from it.
A new chapter will begin. Your life is about to change FOREVER. I know, I know we think we know, but we don’t until we’ve actually experienced it. It’s why you should have this season you are in captured to treasure for years!
When should we schedule a maternity session?
I recommend scheduling the session 28-34 weeks as this is the ideal time frame where you aren’t super uncomfortable yet. And this schedule is perfect in case you end up on bedrest or the baby decides to come early.
I hope I have helped ease any nerves you may have & hope you document this special season!
