Magic
Maternity & Newborn Photographer in San Diego
Where Motherhood Meets
From your early days of pregnancy to your baby’s first birthday, the first couple of years of motherhood fly by so quickly! Together, we document these big moments in a way that’s candid and authentic to your journey as a mom, so that you can look back and feel the warmth and joy of this season.
You will never regret getting the photos taken, but you will always regret not getting the photos taken.
Being a mother myself, I felt like I had a job to do when it came to capturing my son's milestones and childhood through photos. Spending money on photography was always an investment in my own eyes. It was something that was completely worth it to me - it allowed me to freeze time and be thankful for this season of life. Photography creates a lasting and impactful memory and helps preserve these memories with a level of quality and detail that casual shots often miss.
I work with you to follow your motherhood journey from pregnancy to the post-partum period. Our babies are only little for so long and I want to help you capture these precious milestones, as fast as it goes. Booking multiple sessions with the same photographer not only helps with consistency but also allows us to get comfortable with each other, making the sessions seamless and carefree.
Payment plans are available. Every session comes with a welcome and style guide, consultation call, access to my print shop and access to my newborn closet.

"These pictures are amazing! We're really impressed with how comfortable you made us feel and your quick turnaround time.... I also want you to know something - a few days before our shoot we found out Millie has a tongue and lip tie along with a few other problems that made it so she can't efficiently nurse. The pictures you took of her was one of the last times we'll breastfeed and something I'll cherish forever. I really can't thank you enough for that gift!"

Frequently Asked Questions
An in-home studio-style session is the studio brought to you! It includes a 2-5 hour session in the comfort of your own home. I bring an entire set up including a posing table, backdrops, props, swaddles, wraps and more. These sessions are primarily baby-focused and will include poses such as burrito poses, side-lying poses, wrapped/swaddled poses, unwrapped poses, basket poses on floor, etc. These sessions take longer to provide many breaks for feeding, diaper changes and soothing. I include a short 10-15 minute family session at the beginning or end of the session for parent and sibling photos, if desired.
A newborn lifestyle session is essentially a family session with focus on baby. It is a one-hour session, usually in the comfort of your own home, but can be any other place your family feels most comfortable, such as the beach, park, etc. I spend the majority of the session taking family shots but carve out a short period to take intricate detail shots of just baby.
What is the difference between an in-home studio-style session and a newborn lifestyle session?
The studio-style images require more extensive editing than the lifestyle photos - such as removing newborn's redness, any flaky skin, smoothing out the skin tones, etc.
Why is there a big difference in the number of photos received between the two sessions?
The best time to schedule a maternity session is between 29-36 weeks. The best time for a newborn lifestyle session is when baby is less than 6 weeks old, and I recommend less than 3 weeks for the studio-style newborn sessions.
When is the best time to schedule my maternity or newborn session?
I do not provide a client closet at this time, however, a styling guide is included in your package and I will send that, along with a questionnaire, after you pay your retainer. I am always available via phone call, text or email after booking to answer any styling questions you may have or help you decide what to wear! I do provide all the necessary props, bows, swaddles, wraps and some outfits for my in-home studio-style sessions for newborns.
Do you have a client closet?
I offer specific mini's throughout the year but do not do year round mini's. Please subscribe to my email list for when I announce my mini's.
Do you offer mini sessions?
For all one-hour lifestyle sessions, you will receive all images I deem worthy to pass off to my clients once I've culled and edited them, this ranges between 50-100 images. For the studio-style newborn photos, this range is between 25-50 images.
How many photos will I receive with my session?
