San Diego at home maternity session
It’s reassuring to know that you don’t even have to step outside to capture beautiful maternity portraits.
There’s something truly special about being in the place you love most, surrounded by your favorite people—especially if that place happens to be your cozy couch!

This family spend the morning comfy fits, alongside their toddler who was loving all the attention! Just weeks away from welcoming their second son, they slowed down, embraced the moment and allowed me to capture it for them. This San Diego at home maternity session will live in my heart forever!
You don't need to go big or go home, sometimes you can just - go home!
Lifestyle maternity sessions at home, allow for authentic, heartfelt images that truly reflect your journey into motherhood. Plus, you can wear comfy outfits, take breaks as needed, and simply enjoy the moment without any pressure. Chill, natural, and oh-so-special!
Here are three tips to consider when planning a home maternity session:
Declutter the spaces where your photographer plans to photograph your family (bright toys, dog bowls, remote controls, fans...it all needs to go into another room for just an hr).
Consider if you want your pet to be a part of the experience and discuss this option with your photographer.
Figure out when your home gets the most light if your photographer works with natural light. I always ask my clients to take photos of their main living spaces during the morning and afternoon to study the light.
So skip the beach or the hiking trail and next time, just stay home! Your portraits will turn out cozy, intimate and extra special!
Maternity portraits are typically captured between 32 and 36 weeks but it is always best to book ahead of time to guarantee your preferred date.
