Our Venice Beach, California photography studio specializes in newborn baby photos, family photo sessions, baby's first birthday cake smash portraits, candid maternity, children's photography, twins photos and event photography. In 2015 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 100 five-star reviews!

Our maternity and newborn photographer, Erika, loves to go on location when capturing a couple's pregnancy portraits. Our most popular location to photograph maternity and family portraits is The Venice Canals. The eclectic homes and gorgeous architecture provide a romantic and dreamy setting for your portraits. If it is a more private experience you would like for your belly photography, we can also capture your pictures at our Venice Beach studio. Our full service photo studio has all the maternity fabric wraps and pregnancy gowns for your sexy maternity photography.

At our Venice Beach 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 - especially when we photograph twins. We are a full service photography studio and provide all of the props and outfits during the photo session.

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. For the first birthday photography, we have partnered with SusieCakes for all of our amazingly decorated birthday smash cakes. 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! First birthday sessions are best captured by our Venice Beach Baby Photographer, Leah at our portrait studio since the cakes can make quite a mess!

Family photography is also our specialty, and in addition to shooting them in studio, we also like to go out on location in Venice Beach. 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.

If it is event photography of your child's birthday party, a baptism or any special party - we do that too! Our specialty is capturing those candid moments between you and your friends plus beautiful photos of those important cake, party favors, decorations and other details we know you spent a lot of time creating.

Give us a call at 310-391-4500 to discuss your newborn, baby, kids, family and maternity photography!
