Maternity Photos at Mission San Juan Capistrano

These are the iconic and historic bells of Mission San Juan Capistrano. They make the perfect background for our loving couple and parents-to-be.

These large, brick arches are beautiful and iconic.

We love to use foreground objects to frame our subjects, so what better than colorful flowers!

Love, love, love the cascading arches that disappear into the background.

And this hallway really reminds me of Italy

And here are some more pink flowers that perfectly frame our pregnant couple.

Gotta love the beautiful light of the setting sun creating solar flares.

These backgrounds are so unique and classic.

I’m trying to imagine what this church looked like 200 years ago. The Mission was founded in 1776 by Spanish missionaries.

Maternity Photography in Orange County

Here is a great example of maternity photography at an extraordinary location. The Mission San Juan Capistrano is one of the oldest historic buildings in California. Make sure to look around our website for many more examples of maternity photos in Orange County.

Strawberries and Cream Photo Theme

We started the session with a super cute tub filled with strawberries and milk.

Switching to a White Tent for the Cake Smash

We then transitioned to a cake smash photo setup with a cute white tent.

Finishing with Family Photos

We always try to squeeze in a couple quick family photos into the session, though that can be hard with juggling a cake smash and a tub filled with milk! Make sure to talk to Judy about your session and she can help make sure the session can happen in the allocated time.

Cake Smash Photos and More!

This article shows a family photography session for a 1yo (first year) cake smash, along with a super cute strawberries and cream theme with a milk bath in a metal tub. Make sure to look at our family photography instagram for more examples of our work. Judy is a well-seasoned family photographer that can help you get memorable images of your little one. We are based in San Dimas, so we offer discounted rates for family photography portrait sessions done within our local area.

Starting with Large Wooden Letters

Birthday cake smash photography

We then started the cake smash portion of the photography session. It was a very cute setup with a white tent and a white naked cake with pink and white roses. We have more examples of family photography with white color themes.

And look at her just go to town on that cake!

San Dimas Family Photos

We also did family photos. We of course did these before the cake smash, since it’s a messy event.

Having a Cake Smash for a 1yo Baby Girl

Having a cake smash can be a hard photo session if done incorrectly, since mixing a 1yo baby and frosting can be messy! But Judy is very experienced at cakesmash photography sessions and can help you organize such a thing. Make sure to check out more of our recent family photos on our Instagram account.

Judy is the proud mother of two daughters, and has done cake smash sessions for both of them. She knows how it is to work with little 1yo baby girls and boys and can help you get those precious moments and memories.

Family Photos in San Dimas

Starting with their son

We started the session with their cute toddler son, soon to be an older brother.

Just look at this picturesque hiking trail in San Dimas. Family photos on this trail practically take themselves.

After that we got some family photos of just the mom and dad together, relishing in their pregnancy.

Maternity Photos with the Mom

We then snapped some frames of just the mom by her pregnant self. Maternity photography is something that brings out the glow in a mother’s changed body, and we can certainly see her glow in the forest of trees and greenery.

They laid down a picnic blanket for some family photos of them all sitting down.

San Dimas Maternity Photography

After the family photos, we switched to just maternity photos, with our mother in a long white shawl and a white bathing suit. This is a great example of San Dimas maternity photography and how we use our knowledge of local locations to create these images.

We absolutely love the way this ray of sunshine highlights her pregnant belly with a glow that can only be described as ethereal.

This is a combination family photography and maternity photography session at Walnut Creek Park. San Dimas maternity photography is a specialty of Judy and she brings a soft touch and friendly voice to each portrait session. She knows what it is like having a pregnant belly and how that can make a mother feel amazing, and not amazing at the same time. We work at capturing the angles, poses, and lighting that make our pregnant mothers feel amazing.

Make sure to check out the rest of our Los Angeles family photography blog. When you are ready to book Judy for a session, check out our Los Angeles family photography prices, where we discount for local sessions in or near San Dimas.

Starting our Irvine Family Photos

We started with the two older daughters, who were both wearing adorable white dresses.

And then we got the whole family together. The youngest woke up from her nap on the grumpy side, so we made the best of the situation and got the best family photos we could.

Here are some more family portraits of the daughters in a field of grass in Irvine. Family photography at Jeffrey Open Space Trail is a dream with these awesome subjects.

And it’s always nice getting some portraits of the parents by themselves, who with three daughters I can only imagine don’t get much time to themselves

Moving on to a Creek Bed at Jeffrey Open Trail

We walked over to a dry creek bed for a change in scenery.

Irvine Family Photography

This is a an Irvine family photography portrait session done at Jeffrey Open Space Trail in Orange County. Irvine is a large, affluent suburb in Orange County and is host to many local parks, like this one. Family photos are a specialty of Judy, who can work with a family (even when one of the kids aren’t cooperating too well). This Irvine family photography session has three daughters (three children), and shows how we can play with that and the many combinations coming from it.

Make sure to check out our family photography Instagram account to see more recent examples of our work. If you’d like to book a session with Judy, make sure to call her or contact her. You can also look around our website for more examples that might mirror your own session. For example, here is a collection of family photos with two daughters, of which we personally relate to.

Starting Family Photos with their Baby Daughter

We started the session with individual family portraits of their baby daughter.

How adorable and cute is this little girl?!

Then we brought in the pregnant mother for photos with her daughter and more.

And then we got the dad in there too for the whole family photo.

San Dimas Maternity Photos

Then we did some maternity photos of just the couple together, some intimate pregnancy photography.

And More San Dimas Family Photography

We did more family photos alongside a long wooden fence.

San Dimas Family Photography

This is a combination family photography and maternity photography portrait session at the Walnut Creek Park and Trail in San Dimas, Los Angeles County. They have a young toddler daughter and are pregnant with their second child, which is always interesting for family photos (kids love to kiss the new baby that’s coming). The Walnut Creek Park is a local spot that we like to shoot at for both pregnancy photos and family photos. San Dimas is our hometown, so we actually offer discounts to portrait sessions done in San Dimas or the neighboring cities (La Verne, Glendora, Covina, and Walnut).

Please look around the other parts of our website to see more example of our family and maternity photography work. For example, here is a page dedicated to just pregnancy and maternity photos in San Dimas. These are done here locally, which means we have discounted prices for those maternity photos.

Starting the Pregnancy Photos in a field in San Dimas

We started the pregnancy photos in a small field surrounded by trees, a grove if you will.

Our pregnant mother wore a beautiful white lace maternity dress that very elegantly shows off her pregnant body. Judy personally knows what it feels like to have a changing body and knows how to help our mothers feel more comfortable with capturing that.

There is a lovely wooden fence at the park that helps with our scenic backgrounds.

More Maternity Photos at a Stream or Creek

We walked over to a nearby stream or creek bed for more pregnancy photos, getting the trickling stream and river rocks in the foreground.

We love the fallen trees to use as a foreground element, helping us frame our pregnant couple.

And the water was still enough to have a mirror reflection.

And just look at this fallen tree or log for our maternity photos.

Here is a maternity photo taken from above our pregnant couple.

San Dimas Pregnancy Photos

This is a San Dimas maternity photography session (also called a pregnancy photography portrait session) in Los Angeles County. We did the pregnancy photos in a local park, Walnut Creek Park and Trail in San Dimas. This is our hometown, so we actually offer discounted prices on family photography and maternity photography portrait sessions done in San Dimas or in the nearby towns of Glendora, Covina, La Verne, and Walnut.

Check around the rest of our blog for many more examples of our work. We took the time to tag and label every article, allowing you to see a session that is close to what you envision. For example, if you’d like to see more sessions that used a white color element, such as a white maternity dress, we have a page dedicated to jus that.

Pregnancy Photos in a Park in San Dimas

We started the pregnancy photos in a park in San Dimas that we have been to dozens of times. It’s one of our local favorites.

Isn’t this just the cutest laugh and smile!?

And these are those little moments between a mother and her lovely daughter.

Getting the Family Together

We then got the whole family together for family photos.

And here’s the father tossing his little girl up into the air, making for a fun family photo.

Family Photography on a Trail in San Dimas

We then walked over to a dirt trail to get more family photography with trees surrounding our pregnant mother.

Pregnancy Photos in San Dimas

This is a pregnancy photography and family photography session joined together, where the pregnant mother has a toddler daughter in the family photos. This maternity session was done in San Dimas at the Walnut Creek Park and Trail, bordering the cities of Glendora, Walnut, and Covina. It’s a park filled with hiking trails and trees and even a stream running through it. It has wooden fences that are great for framing family photos.

Take a look to see more maternity and pregnancy photography in San Dimas. Judy has a gentle touch and talented eye, making the sessions comfortable and fun.
