Orange County In-Home Newborn Session | The Lee Family | Cori Kleckner Photography | Newport Beach Family Photographer

I love in-home sessions that include bed jumping, tickling, choo-choo trains and giggles! Nothing makes me love a session more than capturing the everyday real stuff! 

This Newport Beach in-home lifestyle session was so fun to capture as big brother stole the show, in a good way! Nothing makes my heart more happy than capturing the love of a growing family!

You cant beat a good sunset maternity session in SoCal! I love being an Orange County based photographer! These two, Jill and Brandon , came all the way from New Jersey! What better way to remember their baby-moon than to have their memories captured together on the beach?! These two lovebirds made my job easy , constantly smiling and staying connected with eachother! Love what I do !

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 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!

I love maternity sessions at the beach but even more so when its a cloudy day! That soft disused light mixed with the sunset colors is just so dreamy! I have been really enjoying photographing so many baby bumps lately ! This Shaw’s Cove, Laguna Beach Session is definitely going down as one of my favorite maternity sessions for the books. These maternity gowns that Helen, the expecting mamma picked out are just perfect ! Neutrals are the way to this photographers heart and she totally nailed it!

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!

So I’m incredibly behind on blogging guys! I have quite a few fresh new sessions hitting the blog soon though! 

This Shaw’s Cove Laguna Beach Session had that soft dreamy sunset light that I just love! The Dowden’s Family came all the way from Indiana to visit our California beaches and I swear they look like Californians, don’t they? Little miss Emily (age 2yr) is about to be a BIG sister! She was full of many expressions and excitement which made it such a joy to capture her! Not to forget to mention her adorable little boho dress her mamma managed to find for our session, I mean how cute are those sleeves?! This sweet girl is so incredibly deeply loved and it shows! Grandma Karen reached out to me to capture the generations of her family and I am so honored to have been able to document their growing family for them while on vacation. I mean, what better way then on vacay right? 

If you have been putting off family photos or trying to get a large session done, now is the time to do it! you wont regret having these tangible memories for years to come with those you love!

For this mamma-to-be we wanted a session full of earthy soft pastel tones. When Elizabeth contacted me to document this special time for her and her husband Robert, we brainstormed a color palette similar to the colors you see during the sun going down at the beach. We decided on a dreamy beach location; Shaw’s Cove, Laguna Beach. As a SoCal photographer, I'm a sucker for a rocky shore with pools of salty water, pebbles and boulders and this spot had just that for us.

Elizabeth picked up some flowers at the local market to incorporate in her session . She wore a flowy gown and then changed into a tighter more fitted gown that accentuated her belly a bit more. We really made our visions come to life! This was such a dreamy romantic session! It was a great day for a maternity shoot.
