Los Angeles Maternity Photographer
This chapter, before everything changes.
Warm, natural maternity portraits in Los Angeles, celebrating this chapter before your family grows.
Starting at
Maternity sessions are relaxed and unhurried, at a location or at home, with plenty of room for comfort breaks and the people (and pets) who matter.
When to schedule
Most families book between 28 and 34 weeks, when the bump is showing and you're still comfortable moving around. We'll pick a date and time that works with how you're feeling.
Location or at home
A golden-hour field, the beach or your own nursery-in-progress all make for beautiful, personal photos. I'll help you choose based on your style and comfort.
Bring everyone
Partners, older siblings and the dog are all welcome. Some of my favorite maternity photos are the candid ones in between.
