INQUIRE FOR A TAILORED QUOTE
“If you're looking for someone who can document your most precious moments in a way that feels authentic and magical, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!”
We had the most incredible experience with Lori from start to finish; everything was seamless and so enjoyable. The choice of location was absolutely perfect, and her guidance throughout the maternity session made us feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera.
The photos exceeded all our expectations — every single image captures the love, excitement, and little in-between moments that make this season of life so special. The slideshow was such a beautiful touch.
Not only is Lori beyond talented, but she also put so much thought and care into every detail. Her passion truly shines through, and we couldn't be more grateful for these timeless memories. Thank you again for everything! 💕

Before two becomes three, four, or five, this is the perfect chance to spoil yourself and your sweet memories.
EXTRA HOURS
Maybe it's a slow morning pottering around the garden, or finally getting round to painting the nursery; the quiet, in-between moments deserve to be captured too.
Simply add some extra hours to your chosen package, and I'll be right there with you.
+ $650 per additional hour
35MM FILM
There's something about the way film holds onto a moment, soft, warm, a smidge imperfect, an organic magic just right for this season of becoming.
If you want a roll (or three) woven through your digital gallery, I'm always down.
+ $100 per film roll

"Lori is an incredibly talented and professional photographer. From the moment we reached out through receiving our photos, Lori was easy to communicate with and always responded right away.
She is super fun to work with and patient. Her warm yet energising vibe makes her the perfect person to work with when trying to capture those most special moments. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will most definitely be hiring her again."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m based in Long Beach, California, but I’ll travel anywhere to capture you in this beautiful season of your life.
I usually recommend booking your maternity session between 29 and 34 weeks. That’s the sweet spot where your bump is beautifully round, and you're still comfortable enough to move around and have some fun in front of the camera.
Most of my mamas choose to have their maternity shoot somewhere around Southern California, like Orange County, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and everywhere in between
If you need help picking a spot, I’m more than happy to suggest some of my favorite outdoor locations.
Dreaming of somewhere further afield? I’d love to help you make it happen. Please note that custom travel fees may apply to locations more than 30 miles from Long Beach, CA.
We'll usually keep it to one location, though if there's a second spot close by, like just a short stroll away, and it works with our timeframe, we can make that happen too! Anywhere further out would call for some extra hours, easily added onto your package.
When it comes to outfits, most mamas choose just one, but you're welcome to bring up to three. It really depends on the location and whether there's somewhere comfortable for you to change!
Absolutely! There’s no cozier, more meaningful place than home, and we’ll have just as much fun!
If you want an in-home session, please reach out so we can brainstorm all the cute ideas. Just note that custom travel fees may apply if you live more than 30 miles from Long Beach, CA.
Of course. While the session will mostly be focused on capturing you and your gorgeous bump, we can absolutely make room for your partner and your little ones in some of the photos too.
Yes, absolutely, all furry babies are welcome! If we’re planning an outdoor session, just give me a heads up so we can pick a pet-friendly location.
YES, I have such a soft spot for film!! 35mm film photography is available as an add-on to any of my maternity photography packages.
Nothing makes my heart swell more than meeting your precious bub after capturing your maternity journey. If you’d like to organize a newborn session, please reach out so we can explore the options!
Ahh, this makes me so happy!! 🫶🥹
Please reach out to confirm my availability for your preferred date, and we’ll take it from there. I’m so looking forward to planning the most amazing session for you!!
Because soon, those tiny tumbles and kicks in your belly will be a whole tiny human running around.
