I’m just going to be very straight forward and say, maternity photographs are a must. They really are. How often in your life do you get to partake in cradling a new life, inside your womb? It’s an amazing experience. For some it’s not so fun (I’m sorry!) for other’s it’s just a bit of…

Why Hire a Birth Photographer?
I’m not here to convince you that you need to hire a birth photographer. I’m just here to reaffirm that feeling you’re having. That is why you’re here isn’t it? Maybe just out of curiosity or it could be because you want moments of your baby’s birth to be preserved. It could be, the feeling…
Motherhood Memories – La Mirada Motherhood Photographer
Last year I was asking mamas who were still nursing if they would like to be in front of my camera and have some memories documented of this time. Macrae is a fellow photographer and homeschooling mama of three precious boys. At the time she was still nursing two of her boys which I think…
Birth Stories and Postpartum Recovery (Orange County Birth Photographer)
I’ve been a professional photographer since 2010 but didn’t start documenting birth stories until 2013. My friends were always pregnant right at the end of my pregnancies or just after I had a baby. So when they had their babies I was ready with my camera! I focused on maternity and posed In Home Newborn…
Woodland Themed Baby Shower (La Mirada Maternity, Birth and Newborn Photographer)
I just love the woodland theme! You can dress it up, dress it down, make it for a girl or for a boy. It’s just so versatile! The nice part is a lot of the decorations were things that were gathered from different households (Grandma, sisters, mama) or foraged from a nature walk. I love…
Featured – A Birth Story & Fresh 48 (Southern California Birth Photographer)
Sweet girl was born just before midnight.
She was so aware and wanting to see what was going on. She even was checking out me and my camera, but she especially wanted to stare at her mama who she had heard and already knew for so long already.

If you follow me, especially on Instagram,you already know that I tend to post a mix of work and…
Featured – Bodhi’s Birth Story (Orange County Birth Photographer)
I strongly believe a woman should birth wherever she feels the safest and most comfortable to do so. And if your birthing location has a pretty great view then that’s definitely a bonus. 😉 Aimee and I only met less than a month before her due date. This was her 5th little one and she…
My Photography Journey (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
When I was a little girl I would take pictures of my cats. I would pose them on this little wicker end table and use almost a whole roll of film just on them. Then when I was a little older I always took pictures of clouds. Those big fluffy clouds that had pictures in…
Featured Story – Amelia’s Home Birth Story (Orange County Birth Photographer)
I love documenting the birth day of the a precious babe. It’s always surrounded by so much love. I received a text in the early morning that labor had begun, but by mid morning the contractions became inconsistent and actually grew further apart. I kept my phone on me because you never know when they…
