Have you thought about whether you would like to have your maternity portraits captured at our studio or an outdoor location?  We offer both services so the choice is yours. Our maternity and newborn photographer, Erika, loves to go on location when capturing a couple's pregnancy portraits. There are many great  locations in Bel Air for these expecting-mother  photos such as Beverly Gardens Park  or the Mildred E Mathias Botantical Gardens. UCLA College is also a very unique photo shoot location since there are a mix of trees, interesting architecture and brick facades.

If it is a more private experience you would like for your belly photography, we can capture your pictures at our Bel Air studio. One of the reasons to take your pictures at our studio is because we provide all of the props and outfits. Many of our clients like to take advantage of our wardrobe closet that is full of amazing gowns and tops and skirts. 

At our Bel Air portrait studio we also specialize in unique, modern newborn baby photography. Our photographer captures these precious photos five to ten days after babies are born. We are a full service photography studio and provide all of the backdrops, baskets, hats and headbands that make our photos oh-so-cute! 

The first year of a child's life is so incredible and they change so much that many of our Pod Moms bring their child in for our Baby Milestones Package. The best time to capture babies is at 4 months when they are strong on tummy time, then at 7 months when they are sitting up an then at 9 months of age. The real milestone moment, however, is at one year! 

first birthday cake smash photography culminates a year of changes in the family that are both trying and joyous. For these birthday pics we have partnered with Top Tier Treats for all of our custom created smash cakes. First birthday sessions are best captured by our Bel Air Baby Photographer, Leah at our portrait studio since the cakes can make quite a mess!

Family photography also keeps us very busy! In addition to documenting portraits at our studio, we also like to go out on location in Bel Air, California. Whether you would like us to come to your home or if there is a nice outdoor location that will help tell your family's story - we are game! Our business ramps up starting in August since holiday card family photography starts to become top of mind for people right around that time. 

As an all female team, we also specialize in boudoir pictures. Our studio is the perfect place to capture these private images for you and your partner. Many brides hire us to be their boudoir photographer so that they can give a special gift to their fiancé before the wedding.
