When creating imagery for families, I hope to tell their story. I hope that what I create allows the viewer to go back in time for a moment, relishing in the sentiment of that chapter of his/her life , as a way to still hold onto it, in a sense. We all know time can be a fleeting thing but creating imagery that reflects the stage of life you are in now , allows you to re-live that beautiful moment again later. Photographs are what keep us connected ; reminding us of people, places, feelings, and stories.

Whether its remembering as a child how you flew high in the air when dad jumped on the trampoline with you, the nostalgia of moms scent when you cuddled up beside her with a book, or the sound of notes on the piano playing in the house with your fur-babies crowding around your feet; all of it encompasses a part of your story, a sliver of their childhood . Photographs are a way to savor that. Reminds me of my fav quote ; “You never know the value of a photograph, until its all you have left“. Ain’t that the truth though? Something to ponder when considering whether to take the picture or be in the picture. ;)

Lucky for me, I get to go into Orange County homes capturing the mundane everyday life moments you have with your little babes! Being an OC Lifestyle Photographer feels like a dream sometimes! I mean, I get to witness & capture the rawness of your family in the home where all the love grows , how special is that?

Just remember, you document something, you get to have it forever. <3

It was an absolute pleasure to capture the Babluch family during their Laguna Beach maternity session, celebrating the anticipation of their second little one. As a Newport Beach maternity photographer, sessions like these are always a wonderful mix of love, excitement, and tender moments between family members. The stunning backdrop of Newport Beach combined with the glow of an expectant mother creates an unforgettable experience.

Nadine radiated beauty as she embraced her growing baby bump, while her partner, Shawn, and their adorable little boy, Connor, filled the session with warmth and laughter. Maternity sessions that incorporate family members are some of my favorites, as they allow the bond between parents and siblings to shine. Little Connor was an absolute joy to capture—full of energy and curiosity, with so much excitement for becoming a big brother soon!

For families in Orange County, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach, maternity sessions are a beautiful way to document not just the pregnancy but the entire family’s journey. Whether you’re welcoming your first child or your third, these moments are fleeting and worth preserving. As a Southern California maternity photographer, I specialize in capturing these intimate connections, ensuring that each session reflects the unique beauty of every family.

If you’re interested in a Newport Beach maternity session or a Laguna Beach family photographer, I would be honored to help document this special time for you and your family.

These two were a gem to photograph. When I had first arrived to their session, my settings on my camera felt different, and my camera was not focusing , it was shooting blurry shots so I knew it had something to do with calibration or focus. They were full of grace and understanding, and I could feel their trust in me as I problem solved . Even though on the inside I panicked, wondering if my camera was malfunctioning or broken perhaps- I then remembered I handed my camera to a guy at a wedding to jump in a photo this past weekend - and he changed my settings to manual focus 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 Long story short, I’ve had some tough days since my husband’s been gone for work for 6 months- juggling the business and my little ones at home alone, most days I feel like I’m running around like a chicken with its head cut off... but meeting clients who were patient/understanding showing me so much grace in a moment where things didn’t go as planned , made me feel so grateful, made me eager to capture magical shots for them as we connected with eachother even more during our session . Show some grace to someone you love today, I promise it will mean the world to them.

Also, how awesome is Calafia State beach in San Clemente with its diversity of scenery? Alessia & Jeff wanted a beach that offered different scenery for their maternity session aside from just the open sand, so we utilized the rocky boulder areas, lifeguard tower and walked down to the water at sunset. It was a gorgeous evening with that soft diffused light we photogs always love ;)
