Golden hour in Brea.

Let’s make this feel easy.

Maternity photography in Orange County and Los Angeles.

Hey, I’m Daniel. You don’t have to feel like a natural in front of a camera. We’ll chat for a bit, and I’ll help you get comfortable as we go.

I’ll help you find your feet. And somewhere for your hands.

I’ll talk you through the poses and all those little things that suddenly feel confusing when someone points a camera at you. I’ll show you a few photographs along the way, too, so you can see what I’m seeing.

If something doesn’t feel comfortable, we’ll change it. We can try another pose, take a break, or find somewhere with less walking. You can always tell me what’s working for you.

He was super friendly, professional and was very helpful during the shoot.

A few sessions to give you an idea.

Just you, the two of you, or everyone together. There’s plenty of room to make this your own.

A shorter outing for a lovely set of photographs, with the same help from me throughout.

And when your baby gets here…

Maternity and newborn sessions are $1,050 together, with a full gallery from each. I’ll come to your home for the newborn photographs, and we’ll already know each other.

It’s such a relief to know we won’t need to go searching for another photographer while we’re busy with a baby.

Tell me what you have in mind.

A favorite place, a photograph you love, or just your due date is a good start. I usually plan maternity sessions around 28 to 34 weeks, and we’ll work out the timing together.
