Orange County Baby Photographer

Everybody is having babies! I got back from Costa Rica and did 6 baby shoots in the following weeks. Better all you then me, I have already had my babies. I really urge all new parents to get their first baby portraits done within the first few weeks or the first month, then again at the 6 month mark or when they are sitting up, and again at about 10-12 months before the are walking. You will to regret budgeting this in your first year later in life. I treasure my new born pictures and within weeks and months it is all over. Don't procrastinate on your new baby pics. I have also had a lot of clients say, "No, I do not want a maternity shoot, I feel fat!" Then of course when the baby is here and their belly is gone they say, "Oh, I should have done pregnancy pictures!" Just a side note to do them anyway. If you want to do all the shoots recommended, myself or other photographers should be able to work with you on pricing doing 4 shoots in a year. It really is worth every penny!

Maternity Portraits & New Baby Portraits by Capturing Moments

Pregnancy pictures are best taken between your 8th and 9th month. Right when you are starting to feel big, but not before you get scared to get in front of the camera. There are ways to shoot pregnant women where they feel secure and comfortable, looking beautiful as the women you will see on this blog!

I love this shot! One of my favorites with Dad and belly, taken outdoors!
I love this shot too, and it is another outdoor shot not taken in studio. Love Mom and Dad's hands wrapped around the belly!




Thia shot is natural light and a fresh clean feel compared to the rest. I like this shot for shower invites or baby announcements too!
