Maternity and Family Portrait Session | Laguna Niguel Photographer

Maternity + Family portrait session

We have worked with this family often. Not only does Aly book us for every holiday mini-session we offer (a great value for shorter sessions with the same awesome results!), but she loves to document important milestones with professional photography, and we love taking pictures of her family! Client loyalty is very important to us, and we strive to offer the same superior service and quality every time, while still giving each portrait session we take its own unique look.

Aly called us when she was expecting her second baby—a little sister for big brother! We traveled to Laguna Niguel Regional Park. It is a photographers dream! Acres of ideal nature backdrops built around a 44 acre lake. If you haven’t been there, you should really visit!

Aly’s beautiful flower crown and simple white off-shoulder dress were perfect for the outdoor setting. We did several shots of just the mother-to-be then brought in dad and son. A great tip for when you’re thinking of booking us for a special occasion, such as a maternity or newborn shot, we can always work in some family portraits as well—just let us know! In this one session we were able to get mom’s maternity shots, some couple poses, and family pictures. It’s a great use of time and money.

The bridge made for the perfect family shot, and we love the look of the trees around the water. If you’d like to have your pictures taken in what looks like the mountains, without traveling to the mountains, we’d love to photograph you at Laguna Niguel Regional Park.

    Parents ask: What if my child cries with Santa?

It is completely fine. We take our time, let them warm up, and follow their lead. Some kids jump right in, others are more timid and shy. Both are normal and both make sweet memories.
    What part of your child’s personality do you wish you could freeze right now?

This age changes faster than we think. I love sessions like this because kids show exactly who they are in the moment, whether that is silliness, shyness, confidence, or curiosity. If you have been wanting to document this season of life, this is your reminder to make it happen.
    Is the Santa Experience worth it? Here is what I see every year.

Kids who walk in unsure and leave glowing. Parents who say it felt excited and personal. And families who come back year after year because it becomes a tradition.
    Your favorite people all in one place.

The wedding party deserves its own moment. These are the friends and family who have been there through every season of life, cheering you on and keeping things fun along the way.

    Worried your child might be shy with Santa? Here is what helps most. . Kids do best when they feel safe and unhurried. That is why the Santa Experience gives them space to warm up, look around, and connect at their own pace.
