A maternity session made for this season. Choose the studio in Poway for clean, timeless portraits, or golden hour at the beach for soft sunset light. I handle the light and every pose, so you can enjoy it.

Two ways to celebrate the bump
The Maternity Session
- 60 minutes in the Poway studio
- 25 edited images in a private gallery
- 1 outfit
- Partner and kids welcome
- Posing direction the whole time
Golden Hour Maternity
- 60 minutes at golden hour, before sunset
- A beach or park in San Diego
- 25 edited images in a private gallery
- 1 outfit
- Partner and kids welcome
The balance is due on the day of your session. Edited images arrive in about two weeks.
This is the best window: the bump shows and you still feel comfortable standing, sitting on the floor or walking on the sand. Book 3–4 weeks ahead, especially for golden hour weekends in spring and summer.

Questions
When should I book my maternity session?
Between 28 and 34 weeks. The bump shows and you still feel comfortable moving. Book a few weeks ahead so you get the date you want.
Studio or golden hour outdoors?
The studio gives you clean, timeless portraits in any weather. Golden hour gives you soft sunset light at the beach or a park. Both include 25 edited images and 1 outfit.
Where do outdoor sessions happen?
A beach or park in San Diego, like La Jolla Shores, Coronado or Balboa Park. We pick the spot together, and I set the start time about an hour before sunset.
Can my partner and kids be in the photos?
Yes, both sessions include them. Most sessions start with you on your own, then bring in your partner and kids for the last part.
What should I wear?
Fitted pieces that show the bump photograph best. After you book, I send a short guide with ideas for your outfit.
How do I hold my date?
A 20% deposit holds your date: $77 for the studio session or $99 for golden hour. The balance is due on the day of your session.
