I had the pleasure of photographing the Duggins family for the first time during this beautiful session at Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach. The overcast day provided the perfect soft light, making this coastal session all the more magical. As an Orange County family photographer, there’s something truly special about capturing a family in such a relaxed, natural setting like the beach. The Duggins family was full of love and laughter, and it was an honor to freeze these heartfelt moments for them.

Emerald Bay is one of my favorite locations for family photography in Orange County. The serene backdrop allowed the kids to run and play freely, creating some of the most authentic and joyful images. Sessions like this remind me why I love photographing families—it’s all about capturing the little moments that mean so much. If you’re looking to document your own family’s special milestones, I’d love to help you create timeless images to cherish for years to come.

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.

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 .
