The West Family | Malibu In-Home Session | Lifestyle Photography | HomeAway Vacation Rentals | Cori Kleckner Photography
It’s been so incredibly busy around here for us photogs trying to juggle busy season that my blog tends to be the first to suffer! I am the first to admit I put blogging on the back burner but know how important it is to keep sharing fresh content with you guys too! I wanted to start by sharing this gorgeous in-home family session in Malibu .
I had the pleasure of documenting blogger & mommy , Roxanne West, and her adorable little family visiting here from Canada! They were vacationing here with HomeAway Vacation rentals and the space we had for the day was seriously unreal! I’m talking ocean view, super kid friendly, cozy little space filled with yummy light & sea salt air! This shabby chic, ocean front beach house had panoramic views of Santa Monica and surrounding LA, large sea level deck and the most adorable built-in-wall bunkbeds!
Not only was our space breathtaking but The West Family was a dream to photograph! For this session, I really wanted to push myself as an artist to find ways to freeze the connection between them . Lately, as an artist, I have been digging deep within myself , soul searching as an artist, pushing myself to newfound ways to capture families in their most authentic state . For this reason, during the session we did ALOT OF PLAYING. I'm talking coloring pictures, taking polaroids, bed cuddles, tickling, upside-downing, dancing in the kitchen, piggy backs kind-of-playing. I feel this type of play nurtures an environment to capture those authentoc moments , to capture those memories we all want as mommys to look back on one day.
Cardiff By The Sea In-Home Family Session | The Moore Family | Orange County Family Photographer | Cori Kleckner Photography |
This has to be hands down one of my favorite ever in-home family sessions! If you don’t know already, in-home sessions are my JAM guys!
The Moore Family recently moved into their new dream home in Cardiff By The Sea. Their is sonething undeniable about an in-home lifestyle session is the overwhelming comfort of home. In this home, kids will grow, love will grow, memories will grow. It doesn’t get much better than witnessing the raw, natural connection that happens between the loved ones under this roof. Watching mom & baby snuggle and the joy of truly playing together without the pressure to document it all perfectly is really where its at!
This family right here though- The Moore Family - they are the warmest and kindest people you could ask to spend your morning with and I am so grateful that I get to call them my friends!

You know you truly have the best job when you get to cuddle newborns everyday! I feel so grateful when clients welcome me into their homes, the space where love grows, to document important milestones for them! These moments can be so fleeting , don’t we wish we could just press pause on time sometimes?
For this in-home session, we kept it classic & simple , really focusing on the details of baby Evan, the bond between them all while leaving out any possible distractions in the background. For newborn sessions I feel its important to have a clean space, free of clutter with lots of open light in a room and of course lots of love ;) I truly aim to capture those timeless moments that you will cherish for a lifetime!
Here are a few sneak peeks from The Lynn Family's Session while I catch up on the full-on-blogging part! ;)
Motherhood travels through many seasons of life, often going undocumented. Capturing the details that make up the story of a mother awaiting the arrival of her baby or the raw beauty that exists while life is stirring inside her; this journey is worthy of recording in a photographic form.

I feel so honored when families continue to choose me year after year to document their special moments! I am so grateful that you all trust me with your precious littles and feel so incredibly lucky to call this my “job”.
I’ve known this particular family, The Dunbar Family, since their first daughter was just a baby! Her sweet hubby inquired with me about gifting his wife , Julie, a photo session when their first daughter was just 6 months old. Isn’t that the sweetest gift? Since then, I have had the pleasure of watching & documenting this little family grow! From baby bumps to newborn sessions to family sessions - and all the in-between . I am so grateful to be able to call these clients my friends!
For this sweet little motherhood session we walked around the golden fields and played and sang songs (maybe even used a little ice cream bribery for a few smiles ;)
Thank you Julie for always entrusting me with your prescious milestones! -Xoxo

“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face.
Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking.
But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”
-Mitch Albom
I just love the soft, dreamy tones we had that evening in Laguna Beach, CA. This mamma frolicked in the ocean while I obsessed over the beautiful light and her gorgeous lace gown. It was high tide that day so we had wet feet but it made it even more drool worthy to photograph her gorgeous gown draping along the ocean shore. Lately I’ve gravitated toward the unintentional , the random blur that you get from out-of-focus shots can be so beautiful, the unintentional movement of a hand gracing the wisps of hair away - its all the unintentional that I feel connection to, the unintentional can be so beautiful.

I’m excited to share this gorgeous Santa Barbara Family Session on the BLOG with you guys! This mamma is a fellow photographer (of Jennifer Kulakowski Photography) who traveled from Washington DC and asked me to document her sweet family while vacationing here! I have to admit its always nerve wracking shooting other photogs in the industry but this mammas is too sweet for words and her adorable (and incredibly photogenic) family made my job super easy! We had gorgeous sunset light and the entire stretch of beach to ourselves this night , it was a perfect evening for a family session!

I love documenting new life . I love and feel so honored to be invited into my clients homes, capturing the bond they share and the excitement of a siblings arrival . I really aim to capture that raw natural beauty that lies within family connection, those in-between moments, the real life stuff. For this session I found so much love these older brothers shared for each other and their first little sister. Newborn sessions are not just about photographing a perfect sleepy baby, they are about capturing the love that surrounds them and thats honestly my favorite part! So when expecting mammas email me asking if their session includes siblings & parents, I always say YES OFCOURSE! In fact- I encourage you to be present in your family photos! <3 Thank you for all of you who entrust in me to document such a special time!
The Scharfs Maternity Session | Orange County Maternity Photographer | Riley Wilderness Park Maternity Photos
This Maternity Session at Riley Wilderness Park was so fun because these two expecting parents were full of style, bringing 3 awesome outfit choices and also their adorable pup along with them! I love shooting sessions at Riley Wilderness because of the versatility of scenery it offers, with the open golden fields , dirt paths, the trees and gorgeous hill areas. This maternity session was a dream and this mamma being so gorgeous made my job a breeze!
