Orange County

Maternity Photographer

Pregnancy is full of anticipation, beauty, and change and it deserves to be documented. My maternity sessions are held in the same Newport Beach studio as my newborn work, with a focus on natural posing, soft light, and timeless simplicity. These sessions are typically scheduled between 28–34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round but you're still comfortable moving and posing.

I keep my maternity sessions calm, guided, and relaxed. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands, I’ll direct you gently so everything feels natural and flattering. The studio is filled with neutral tones and soft textures that keep the focus on you, your baby, and the connection you're already building. There are no flashy gowns or overly styled setups here, just quiet, honest portraits that feel elevated yet approachable. I want you to walk away feeling confident, beautiful, and connected to this chapter in your story.

As with all my work, my goal is to make the experience as easy and stress-free as possible. From prep to final delivery, I handle every detail with care and intention. If you're looking for a maternity photographer in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, or Irvine who offers a clean, natural aesthetic in a calm studio environment, I would be honored to capture this special moment in your journey.

Nicole was wonderful!

"We have worked with her a few times and every time has been seamless.

She truly has captured the personality and joy of our little girl in these

photos. She has such a talent for making everyone feel comfortable and

at ease, which is a huge part of why the photos are so beautiful.

The final gallery was absolutely stunning and we are so happy with

how the photos turned out. We can't wait to work with her again"!

3 - After your session

About two weeks after your Orange County Maternity session, you’ll receive an email with a link to your proof gallery. From there, you can select the images you’d like to include in your package and send me a quick text once you’re finished. I’ll then add your selections to my retouch queue, and once your images are fully edited, I’ll send you a final gallery. If you’ve ordered prints, they’ll be ready for pickup 2–3 weeks after your final gallery is delivered.
