This recent family session with the Inthavong family at San Clemente’s Calafia State Beach was an absolute dream. With neutral-toned outfits, the family blended perfectly with the earthy tones of the stunning cliffs and natural boulders surrounding the beach. If you’re looking for a location that offers breathtaking views of both the ocean and rugged canyon landscapes, Calafia State Beach is the perfect spot for your family photo session.

One of the highlights of this session was how much fun the children had exploring the big canyons and boulders, with the ocean breeze adding to the beauty of the moment. Calafia State Beach also features a unique train track that overlooks the water, making it a magical place to capture genuine family moments.

As an Orange County family photographer, I specialize in capturing natural, lifestyle-inspired photography that brings out the authentic connections between families. I always encourage clients to wear neutral, earthy tones, which create timeless photos and allow the natural surroundings to shine.

If you’re considering booking a family photo session in San Clemente or anywhere in Orange County, I highly recommend Calafia State Beach for its versatility and incredible views. Whether it’s a playful moment with the kids or a candid, loving embrace, the location offers plenty of opportunities to create stunning family portraits.

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Jessica and Mike Trout during their first Newport Beach maternity session as they eagerly anticipated the arrival of their first son, Beckham Aaron Trout. As one of the most iconic figures in baseball, Mike Trout is known for his incredible talent on the field, but being able to witness him as a soon-to-be father was truly a memorable experience. Jessica glowed with love and excitement, making this Orange County maternity session incredibly special.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Irvine Cove Beach, this session was filled with raw, beautiful moments that captured the deep connection between them. The serene beach environment reflected the calm yet excited anticipation of becoming first-time parents, and it was a true honor to capture their journey as they prepared to welcome their son into the world.

It’s always a joy to photograph life’s most precious milestones, and this maternity session with the Trouts was no exception. Being part of such a pivotal moment in their lives, and seeing the love they share, is the heart of what I do as an Orange County maternity photographer. I can’t wait to continue capturing their growing family.

Intimate in-home maternity sessions will forever have my heart.

Those last leading days with your firstborn before welcoming the newest addition to the family can be a bittersweet.
While having a new baby on the way is exciting, it's hard to forget the fact that your first child will no longer be your only child anymore. It’s such a raw and tender time worth capturing ... and doing it at-home makes it even that much more special + intimate . Every day shared with our child, no matter what we do or how our experience unfolds, is precious. How we spend our time matters least, taking the time to love on our kids the best we can matters most. The reward of motherhood knows no bounds and every season bears fruit as long as we root ourselves into being mindful and present, allowing God to water our journey. Soak it all up mammas.

Women should be proud of their bodies and what it can do, carrying little humans into this world is miraculous and worthy of documenting. Bare that beautiful belly proudly mammas - as it’s the most incredible thing in the world!  

Also, don’t be shy or feel shame for sharing photos of that belly! Have you ever posted a photo of yourself in a swimsuit? Well I’m here to tell you- it covers the same as panties and a bra does! I challenge and support you to embody confidence in your skin, both pre-baby and postpartum, as our bodies change/evolve.  Embrace the skin you’re in, believe others when they say you’re beautiful. 

I’m here to tell you , that you will want these memories, from bare belly snuggles with your toddler to sleep deprived now breastfeeding your newborn in a rocking chair.  Do it,  you won’t regret having those photos - ever .

This Laguna Beach Family session was such a dream to capture! Not too long ago, I was capturing The Roach family right as they welcomed their third little guy into the family, now look at him a few months later full of that adorable luscious baby chub! What a treasure it is seeing families & your kiddos grow. What an honor it is when families choose me time and time again to still be the one to capture their family. I love every minute of capturing you snuggle, kiss and play with your babies and never take this amazing job for granted .

It’s always an honor capturing other fellow photographers in the industry , but especially this mamma. Chloe, (of Chloe Moore Photography) glows as a wife and mamma, and her radiating joy makes a room light up. Call it cheesy or whatever, but when you scroll thru her family memories, you will see she’s full of laughter, kindness and joy. I’m telling you - you will feel it. Not to mention, this family has incredible home decor style, lots of seeping light and lots of LOVE - the opportunity to capture the gorgeous pockets of light in their home amongst them tickeling, snuggling, and playing, as well as witnessing their love for their fur-babies… well it was was one for the books ya’ll. Definitely going down as a favorite lifestyle session .
