Huntington Beach Maternity Photographer

by carly on February 2, 2010

I was SO excited when my fellow photographer friend Julie asked me to take her maternity portraits.  We have been working together at weddings since the beginning of her pregnancy, and let me tell you- she’s powered through every wedding like a champ!  We started Julie and Brad’s maternity portrait session with some intimate shots (indoors), then drove down to Crystal Cove in Laguna Beach for some natural, outdoor images.  I really like splitting the session up between indoors with studio lighting and outdoors with natural lighting.  Though if you’re down for getting half naked in public, that’s more than fine with me!  Thank you Julie and Brad for being my FABULOUS models, and a special thank you to Brad who endured the 2 hours of being photographed!  The wine was definitely a great idea, and I will continue to suggest it to my camera-shy male clients.  I can’t wait to meet your little girl!

Laguna Niguel Family Portraits

by carly on September 30, 2009

Miriam and I met a few years ago when I was donating my photography services to The March of Dimes Walk for Babies event in Newport Beach.  Shortly after we met, I shot a baby portrait session of her adorable little boy, Baby E.  I was so excited when Miriam contacted me about a year later for a family portrait session / maternity portraits.  A new member of the family was on its way!  I couldn’t wait to see how much Baby E had grown since I last saw him.  As I walked up to Baby E’s front door, he ran out of the house and excitedly greeted me.  What a cute little man!  While setting up my backdrop, I was entertained by Baby E’s rendition of various Coldplay songs on his guitar and drum set.  I think we have a future rockstar on our hands.

Maternity Photography Orange County

March 2, 2008

Almost 5 years ago, I photographed Amy and Mike’s wedding at a gorgeous private estate in the hills of Orange.  Now they are expecting their first child- a baby girl!  Amy’s belly was nice and round, and she was the calmest pregant woman I’ve ever worked with.  This shoot was especially fun because Amy was [...]
