Our Encino, California photography studio specializes in newborn baby photos, family photo sessions, baby's first birthday cake smash portraits, candid maternity, children's photography, and twins photos . In 2018 we were voted the best photographer in Los Angeles by Mommy Nearest for our full-service studio experience. Clients rave about The Pod Photography on Yelp with over 250  five-star reviews! Our style of photography is modern, yet timeless and totally personalized to you and your taste. 

Are you expecting? Our maternity and newborn photographer, Erika, loves to go on -location when capturing a couple's pregnancy portraits. There are many great rustic venues in Encino for these maternity photos such  as Woodley Park or Lake Balboa and with its beautiful jacaranda trees that bloom in the Spring. We also love Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve that has more of a natural look with lots of beautiful trees. If it is a more private experience you would like for your belly photography, we can also capture your pictures at our Encino studio. Our full service photo studio has all the maternity fabric wraps and pregnancy gowns for your sexy maternity photography.

At our Encino portrait studio we also specialize in newborn baby photography. Our photographer captures these precious photos five to ten days after babies are born. We are a big fan of the Anne Geddes style of photography and love to bring a little humor into our newborn photos.  We are a full service photography studio and provide all of the props and outfits during the photo session for your baby's pictures.

We also love to capture the portraits of babies over the age of six months, as well as first birthday cake smash photography and kids and children's portraits. We help you plan every detail of the session, tying in your birthday party theme, and design custom party invitations, thank you cards, party favors and more! Your custom smash cake is deigned by us to complement your set, and is included in the price of your photo session. First birthday sessions are best captured by our Encino Baby Photographer, Leah at our portrait studio since the cakes can make quite a mess!

Family photography is also our forte, and in addition to shooting them in studio, we also like to go out on location in Encino. When we are outdoors for the photos, we love to let the kids run, play and be themselves so that we can capture unique and candid photos that show true emotion and personality. We are always very busy starting in August with holiday card family photography and our full-service studio has a staff designer who creates unique and custom holiday cards for our families.
