The best time to book your maternity session is during your second trimester, ideally around 20 weeks. Booking early gives you the best chance of securing your preferred date and allows plenty of time to plan your session.

Most maternity sessions are photographed between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy. This is typically when your belly has a beautiful, defined shape while you are still comfortable enough to move and pose during your session.

Maternity sessions can take place in the studio or at an outdoor location, depending on the style you prefer. We can help you choose a setting that fits the look and feel you envision for your maternity photos.

Yes. The studio provides a full wardrobe including a large selection of maternity gowns, dresses and fabrics that are available for your session. We can help you choose styles that complement your body shape, location, and overall vision for your maternity photography.

Yes. Outdoor maternity sessions can be photographed in and around the Santa Clarita area, as well as select locations throughout the surrounding Los Angeles communities. Location recommendations are available based on the style of images you want. Travel fees may apply depending on the location.

Yes. Many families choose to book their maternity and newborn sessions together. Booking both sessions in advance makes it easier to plan your maternity portraits and reserve a newborn session around your baby's expected arrival. Discounts are also provided if sessions are booked together!

It’s never too early to reserve your newborn session! We recommend booking during your second or third trimester.

The ideal time for newborn photos is within the first 7–12 days after birth. During this stage, babies tend to sleep more deeply, stay naturally curled, and are easier to gently pose. As they get older, they become more alert and less flexible, making some posed images more challenging.

For newborn photos, choose soft, neutral colors such as white, beige, cream, or muted pastels. Simple, comfortable clothing without busy patterns keeps the focus on your baby. We recommend avoiding logos, bold prints, and very dark colors.

The length of a session can take anywhere from 2-4 hours. I always allow for plenty of time for soothing and feedings during the sessions! I only book one newborn a day, so we are able to take our time with each baby. Sessions are never rushed and always go at baby's pace.

Cake smash sessions are typically scheduled around one month before your baby’s first birthday. We recommend booking a few weeks in advance, especially if you plan to use the photos for birthday invitations, decorations, or your child’s birthday celebration.

Your cake smash session includes family portraits with the baby prior to the smash along with solo photos of the baby in combination with the fun cake smash photos. The setup can be customized with your preferred colors to create a beautiful and personalized first birthday experience.

That is completely normal. Some babies love getting messy, while others are hesitant about the cake. We never force a child to participate. We allow them time to explore the cake and capture genuine reactions, expressions, and portraits throughout the session.
