A familiar family. A brand new chapter. 🤍
Getting to photograph our clients again as their family grows will never feel ordinary to us.
This time there is a new little love on the way and a very sweet big brother waiting to meet them.
Their love story continues and we’re so grateful to capture another piece of it.
You don’t have to know anything about modeling or posing, as we offer fully guided sessions, but these two could teach a class in it!
Seriously every time @chriszeedelrosario and @gadelrosario step in front of the lens it’s always 🔥 ❤️

A little personal one from Jaz today:
“Aimee and I met in film school over 20 years ago.
Back then, we were learning how to tell stories with light and dreaming of a big cinematic life. Today, she’s a Cinematographer, I found my way to portrait photography, we’ve both become mothers and somehow all these years later—we got to create together again.
So naturally, we went back to our roots.
Old Hollywood. Dramatic light. A little bit of cinema.
A tribute to where we started, and a celebration of where we ended up.
Twenty-something years later, we’re living our big dreams and still telling stories with light!”

One day…
She’ll tell people about the day she became a big sister.
He’ll tell people how tiny his sister used to be.
Mom will remember how impossibly light she felt in her arms.
Dad will remember standing there, quietly taking it all in.
And this is what they’ll all look back on.

Every once in a while, a kid walks into the studio and you’re immediately like…
“Ohhh… this is going to be fun.”
Bailey was that kid.
Every pose had personality.
Every smile was real.
And somehow six has never looked so glamorous. 🎀💗

The fourth trimester is basically:
Sniffing your baby’s head 47 times a day 👶
Wondering if you’ll ever sleep again 😴
Reheating the same cup of coffee ☕️
Crying because they yawned, smiled or grabbed your finger 🥹
Googling for the 4,728,561 time “is this normal?” 🤷♀️
It’s exhausting.
It’s overwhelming.
And yet so blissfully magical you’ll want to remember it always 🩵🩵🩵
Book a Newborn Session, you won’t regret it.
P.S. Hair & makeup is always included. Sleep deprivation may be unavoidable… looking sleep deprived isn’t. 😉

I don’t think photographers talk enough about this…
Sometimes you know a session is special before you’ve even imported the photos.
You leave thinking,
“Yep… that was a good one.”
Then you open the gallery and somehow it’s even better than you remembered!
This was one of those days. 💙

Professional opinion:
Newborns have exactly two jobs—
1. be adorable
2. make everyone fall endlessly in love with you
I’d say this little one absolutely understood the assignment. 🤍

She’ll never be this small again 💗
One day she’ll have opinions about her hair, favorite songs, and friends you’ll have to memorize.
But today…
She fits perfectly in her mama’s arms.
That’s the kind of moment worth remembering and the reason we love what we do!

Why stop to smell the flowers when you can wear them instead?!?!? 💐
This blooming mama-to-be took florals to the next level, and we’re absolutely loving her in these whimsical pink blossoms! 🌹🌸🌷🌺

Waiting for the sweetest hello. 🌿
Surrounded by soft florals and timeless neutral tones, this beautiful mama and dad-to-be are soaking in every moment before their greatest adventure begins!
These quiet moments before baby arrives are filled with so much anticipation - and they’re worth remembering forever.
Congratulations to this wonderful family!

💕 Think Pink! 💕
There’s just something about a baby girl in pink that melts our hearts every single time. From the tiny pink hearts to the tiny pink tutus, every little detail makes these sweet moments even more magical. 🩷
We love creating timeless newborn portraits that celebrate just how precious these moments are. Because they won’t stay little forever. 🌸

✨ A Couture Golden Hour ✨
Which would you choose for your session: Gold, Silver, or Champange?
We absolutely love when our mamas wear gold. It’s warm, radiant, elegant, and full of light - just like motherhood itself. Whether it’s shimmering sequins, flowing satin, or soft metallic tones, gold creates a timeless, luxurious look that photographs beautifully.
If you’re dreaming of a maternity session that feels both glamorous and unforgettable, gold is always a favorite in our studio. We simply can’t get enough! 💛

Wanna know the fastest way to make your photographer swoon?
Come back.
That’s it.
Okay… and maybe tag us in your photos and tell your friends about us too. 😂
But honestly? Nothing beats getting the email that says:
“We’re pregnant again…”
Getting to watch your family grow is one of the greatest privileges of this job, and today we get to photograph this beautiful mama with her second baby!
I don’t think clients always realize what a compliment that is.
And trust me… we never, ever take it for granted. ❤️
Los Angeles Maternity Photographer • Luxury Maternity Photography Studio • Pregnancy Photoshoot in Los Angeles •
When you look back on your pregnancy journey…
I hope you don’t just remember how you looked.
I hope you remember how deeply loved your baby already was.
That’s the true gift of maternity photography.
(But don’t worry… we’ll still make sure you look absolutely STUNNING. 😜❤️)

Every newborn photographer has a weakness.
Ours?
Tiny toes.
We tell ourselves we’re only going to take “one quick detail shot”…
Twenty photos later….still completely obsessing. 🤍
This sweetheart was an absolute Angel for her whole shoot but can we also just take a minute to swoon over those rings?! 💍 😍
Los Angeles Newborn Photographer • Studio Newborn Photography • Luxury Baby Photography
Imagine walking into your maternity session…
Soft music.
A gorgeous wall of flowers.
A stunning gown.
Beautiful light.
Together with the people you love most.
No rush.
No pressure.
Just a chance to slow down and celebrate this incredible chapter before everything changes.
This is exactly why we do what we do. 💕💗💕

It all goes by so fast.
I know everyone says it, but no one really prepares you for just how fast.
One day they’re curled up in your arms sleeping, then somehow they’re asking to ride their bike by themselves, starting school, rolling their eyes at your jokes…
The days can feel so long, but the years? They disappear.
Maybe that’s why I love newborn photography so much.
For just a little while, we get to press pause.
I never hear parents say they regret doing a Newborn shoot but I can’t tell you how many say they regret NOT doing it.
🤍 Fine Art newborn portraits in Los Angeles & throughout Southern California 🤍
There is something undeniably powerful about a woman creating life.
Our goal has never been to simply photograph pregnancy.
It’s to honor it, no matter what your style is! 💙

Some days I have thoughtful captions.
Today I just have…
🌿🌿🌿 LOOK AT THIS CUTE BABY! 🌿🌿🌿
You’re welcome 😜🤣
Los Angeles Newborn Photographer • Studio Newborn Photography • Baby Portrait Session
Repeat after me:
I don’t need to lose 10 pounds.
I don’t need a special occasion.
I don’t need permission to celebrate myself.
I just need to show up.
We’ll take care of the rest 🤍
Hair. Makeup. Wardrobe. Posing. Every detail thoughtfully curated so you can focus on one thing:
Feeling absolutely incredible!
If you’ve ever considered doing a boudoir session… what’s the one thing that’s holding you back?

There’s nothing sweeter! 💕
The snuggles, the kisses, the laughter, and the love these two share. 💋
These fleeting moments are some of life’s most precious, and we love to capture them during our Mommy & Me studio sessions! 📷

Fatherhood isn’t measured in grand gestures.
It’s measured in piggyback rides.
Bedtime stories.
School drop-offs.
Inside jokes.
Patient answers.
And being the person they know they can always count on.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads doing the important work that often goes unnoticed. 🤍

Girl moms, this one is for you. 💗
Three sisters.
Three personalities.
Three little hearts that will grow up side by side.
Friends forever.
These are the pictures they’ll treasure long after the dresses are packed away and the little girl days are gone.
Tag your sisters! 🥰

1 mama. 4 looks. Endless possibilities.
From soft and ethereal to modern and editorial, every maternity session is fully customized to reflect your style.
Our sessions include access to our wardrobe collection, professional hair and makeup, and expert posing guidance. Our goal is to create a gallery that feels uniquely you!
Which look is your favorite: 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Swipe to see how fast one year goes. 🥹
No really.
One minute you’re scheduling your newborn session.
The next you’re planning a first birthday cake smash.
If you’re currently pregnant, here’s a tip:
Reserve your newborn session during the second trimester to ensure availability after baby arrives.
Cake Smash is best scheduled for a several weeks before their actual birthday so you can display the photos at their party!
Tell me—what was the biggest surprise about your baby’s first year? 👇
Big brother training has officially begun ❤️
One of our favorite parts of family maternity sessions is watching older siblings connect with baby before they’ve even met!
Or in this case, BABIES!! this little guy is waiting to meet his TWIN sisters! 💗💗

If you’re expecting, book the newborn photos!
Not because your house is clean.
Not because you’ve lost the baby weight.
Not because everything feels put together.
Book them because this version of your baby only exists once.
And it disappears in the blink of an eye.
Wondering when to book a newborn session? We recommend reserving your date during the second or third trimester. Because those dreamy, sleepy newborn portraits are typically photographed within the first two weeks of life—long before you’re thinking about calendars and to-do’s and when they’re still sleepy, curly, and oh-so tiny.
So if you’re expecting, this is your reminder!
How cute is this little sleepy guy?! 💤🧸
Luxury maternity portraits that feel like art because you deserve more than phone photos!
For the mamas who want to remember exactly how beautiful this felt ✨

The truth?
Almost every mom tells us some version of:
“I almost didn’t book.”
And almost every mom says afterward:
“I’m so glad I did.”

Still soaking in all the sweetness of Mother’s Day weekend 🌸
We hope every mama out there felt celebrated, loved, and appreciated not just for the big things, but for the million tiny ways you make life beautiful every single day.
Spring has officially bloomed in the studio (and outside!) and these dreamy florals felt like the perfect way to carry that love into a new week 🤍💐

We kept saying “just one more”… and honestly no notes.
Spoiler alert: you’ll hear this a lot from us during your shoot! Also known to say “ok we’re good” and 14 seconds later “wait, let me just try this…” 🤣🤣
When you genuinely LOVE what you do it’s so easy to get swept up in the creative wave….and oh boy we are always in for the ride!
This stunning couple was an absolute dream to work with during their maternity session in our Los Angeles studio!
