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.

    Six looks so good on her 🎈

We kept this session simple and sweet with a soft pink backdrop and balloons to match her fun personality. Then we brought the whole family in on the white backdrop, even their adorable pup.

I love sessions like this because they show how much personality shines through when the focus stays on your child and the people they love most.

    Every one year old is different. Some dive right in, some take their time, and some are not quite sure what to think at first. That is what makes these sessions so fun. You never know what you are going to get.

I love seeing their personalities shine through, especially when parents join in for a few photos at the beginning. It is such a sweet way to celebrate the first year and capture all the joy that comes with it.

    I loved seeing this sweet couple again and their little dog. This year we did the session at  the San Juan Capistrano Mission.

It is such a good reminder to make photos part of your yearly routine. Life changes quickly, and having a collection of portraits over the years tells your story in the best way.

    The colors are soft, the light is golden, and it is the perfect spot for families to relax and be themselves. This crew made it easy with so many laughs, hugs, and those little moments that remind me why I love photographing families.

Tip: The best time for fall photos is right before sunset when the light turns warm and glowy.
