Solana Beach bump photos {maternity photo shoot}

One of my favorite locations for maternity session in Solana Beach is right off Lomas Santa Fe Road, it’s such a beautiful green park! I loved this family pregnancy photoshoot because it included their son and showed so much love in their family! I’m sure their baby will look back on these photos in the belly with love and joy! Kids just love to see photos of themselves, even if they were still in mama’s belly at the time! Pregnancy photo shoots with the family are such a wonderful way to document these last days before a family of 3 becomes a family of four. I have so many favorites, here’s just a few photos I loved!

I specialize in natural maternity portraits in Encinitas, designed to feel organic and real, whether we’re in the studio or capturing that golden light outside.

What I’ve learned over 20 years is that every family has their own rhythm, and the best portraits come when I let that guide the session. If you’d like photos that feel like your family, let’s chat.
