The Socci Family Motherhood Session | Orange County Maternity & Lifestyle Photographer

The Socci Family Motherhood Session | Orange County Maternity & Lifestyle Photographer| Cori Kleckner Photography


Capturing the beauty of motherhood is one of my greatest joys as an Orange County maternity and lifestyle photographer, and this intimate session with the Socci family was no exception. With creamy, soft skin tones and a timeless film-inspired aesthetic, this session perfectly highlights the warmth and connection between a mother and her little ones.

This beautiful lifestyle maternity session took place in a bright, naturally lit space, allowing for a soft, organic feel that complements my signature style as an Orange County newborn photographer. The focus was on authentic moments the quiet embraces, and the tender anticipation of welcoming a third baby into the family.

Dressed in light, neutral tones, the mom and her two toddlers moved effortlessly through the session, creating a dreamy, elegant aesthetic that feels both intimate and editorial. These soft, candid moments captured the essence of what makes motherhood photography so special the love, the connection, and the quiet in-between moments that tell a story all on their own.

As an Orange County maternity photographer, I aim to create images that feel as if they belong in a timeless film collection, with natural light, creamy textures, and an effortless glow that enhances every detail. My approach is to document the moments as they unfold, capturing raw, unscripted emotions in a way that feels authentic and heartfelt.

For this session, we focused on a soft, natural lighting to enhance the glow of pregnancy. A minimalist, organic backdrop that keeps the focus on emotion. Neutral and light tones to create a classic, editorial feel . A mix of posed and candid moments to capture the family’s dynamic with variety.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or celebrating the journey of motherhood with your little ones, I’d love to create a session that reflects the beauty of your story. My approach to Orange County lifestyle photography is all about capturing genuine connection, soft details, and an effortless, film-inspired look that you’ll cherish for years to come.

I’ve had the honor of photographing the Calhoun family since Jennifer was pregnant with Knox. Now they are expecting their baby girl, Lennox , any day now and I get to be a part of witnessing their beautiful family grow. I always feel so incredibly honored when a family chooses me to capture their family as it grows because it feels like I am a part of the journey with them .

This family though, let me tell you- they are some of the kindest most humble people you’ll ever meet. Jennifer is a gem, always glowing as a mamma to Knox and as a wife. You can feel her love for that sweet boy of theirs and it’s so deep and beautiful, makes me never want to put my camera away. Not to mention, each time we get together for a session, it feels like Jen and I are long time friends catching up, we laugh a ton and just have fun during her session.

This Newport Beach maternity session was a dream, not only because of the sweet overcast day we lucked out with , but because this family is the sweetest to capture . Can’t wait to meet their baby girl soon!

As an Orange County Family photographer I alway strive to find the perfect location for family sessions, locations that allow for great scenery, and also allow for children to run and play which really allow me to capture those candid family moments. Newport Beach is one of my favorite locations to do family beach sessions, and the O'Brien Family was so much fun to work with. Their beach Family Session really allowed me to capture the perfect sunset photos with their children.

I had the pleasure of documenting this sweet little munchkin, whom happens to also be my niece, only 3 days new! I truly can’t put into words how lucky I feel that parents choose me to document one of the most delicate and precious milestones in their lives! 

When photographing newborns, I aim for simplicity. I  hope to leave you with photos that tell the story of their entry into this world , that reflect the strength and beauty of a mothers love and the strong bond in all of its newness . Since I document these families in the first weeks after birth, I understand parents are sometimes sleep deprived, moms are wearing their emotion on their sleeves - but it always moves me at how tangible their love is. I then have the obligation to portray in it my photos, its just so raw and amazing!

The newborn stage is a fleeting moment; those wrinkles, those rolls, that flaky skin, those teeny tiny delicate features... all gone in the blink of an eye! Capturing it all is an investment you will never regret!
