Being pregnant is a special time, a time where you glow for no reason other than a life is growing inside of you. It’s the beginning of a family. We documented that special feeling at Yorba Regional Park, a large park in Anaheim CA (though it’s right next to Yorba Linda). Maternity photos are a favorite of ours, mostly because it brings us back to our own pregnancies.

Here is a beautiful maternity photo in the rustic trees. It’s kind of cool that we are in Orange County and this a real spot.

We love the rustic look of a wooden fence along a hiking trail. It adds perspective and character to the maternity photos.

The man-made lakes here have docks that are amazing for the reflection on the water.

And during the fall you have to use leaves in some way, so why not from directly above!

I know, I know: Yorba Regional Park is in Anaheim, not Yorba Linda. But having lived in Yorba Linda long ago, we know that Yorba Regional Park is just one of those local spots you can hop over to for recreational fun. We have memories cycling up and down the Santa Ana River, which borders the South side of Yorba Regional Park. Maternity photos are a specialty of Judy, since she knows the whole process personally.

The {L} family decided to have their family photos at Carbon Canyon Park in Brea. This is a special and unique regional park in that it has a small but grown redwood grove.

Starting in the Redwood Grove

Carbon Canyon Regional Park has a 3 acre redwood grove that is absolutely amazing for family photos.

Back up to Carbon Canyon Park to finish the Family Photos

After the redwood grove, we hiked back up to the lake (and yes, it’s a 1/2 mile hike) to finish up the session. The lake has a dock that lets us catch our family over and across the water.

Carbon Canyon Regional Park is a great place for family portraits. It has tall redwood trees that aren’t seen normally in Southern California. It has hiking trails, some with scenic and rustic wooden fences. The small lake has a dock that makes for awesome family photos across the gentle water. Contact Judy if you are interested in a family session that might involve a little hiking and a lot of beautiful images.
