Client Closet || Orange County Maternity and Newborn Photographer
One of my favorite parts of photography is styling my clients for their sessions. Some clients send texts with photos, some meet in person weeks in advance and some just trust the process and decide day of, but anyway you cut it... This is the fun stuff!
Now as mamas, this is also the s-t-r-e-s-s-f-u-l part. Putting outfits together that coordinate, fit everyone and don't have yogurt on them 😂 (#reallife) is tough stuff. That's why I love to help! Today on my Instagram Stories I'm taking a poll before I add a couple new pieces. But for the kiddos I already have splurged a little...
If you're not using my wardrobe options, then try to stick to colors that compliment and don't match, and choose clothing that isn't a distraction in your images. Feel free to always text/email me photos too, I like to think I know what styles and cuts look best in photographs!
Keep an eye out on the blog... Next week, I'll be adding a full post with links to my favorite outfits for everyone in the family. Fall family sessions are coming up and while you're out school clothes shopping you can keep these in mind.

Blair is THREE \\ Children's Photography, Orange County Baby Photographer
Can you believe I've known Blair since she was 8 weeks old?! And now she's THREE! She was in my New Mom School group with Hudson and I've been photographing her ever since.
This may be my favorite part of photography, getting to watch all of these adorable babies grow into little people and their personalities explode!
Blair is the sweetest little thing, mild mannered with the biggest little grin I've ever seen!
Meet Baby Tyler \\ Newborn Photography, Orange County
I met the Alexson Family a couple years ago for a fall family session and I knew I loved them from the second we met. They're lively and fun with two (now three) boys. Carey has fantastic style so I always know the whole family come perfectly dressed and styled. We did Carey's maternity session at the beach here in San Clemente on the most gorgeous night with low tide. You have to see it! Click here.
For little Tyler's newborn session we did a lifestyle session in their beautiful home. The entire session was done in their master bedroom and little Tyler seriously didn't make a peep the entire 2 hours. Both brothers were on their best behavior and I can't believe the cuteness that we got out of them!
I can't wait to watch these brothers grow and photograph all their future wrestling matches! #boymom 💙💙💙

Meet baby Capri || Maternity and Newborn Photography, Orange County
You know when you meet people and you just want to be besties right off the bat? That's this family! Not only are they the most gorgeous family ever but they're insanely fun, well mannered kiddos, and the sweetest hearts in the world.
Mama's maternity session was a dream and would you believe there was a storm impending. We had to shoot fast! Big sister and brother were seriously the best behaved kiddos, we were in and out within 20 minutes. Then it rained and rained. Can you believe how gorgeous the light is?
Sweet tiny baby girl Capri came right on time and Lindsay had the absolute best advice I've ever been given...
“Oh Laurel! I’m so excited for you and even jealous!!! You get to experience the absolute BEST day of your life very soon. It’s dreamy and glorious and no matter how hard it is, it’s just the best day ever. I wish I could redo it over and over again just to experience that kind of joy again.”
In just a few short sentences, she changed my entire outlook. Even after having my two babies, I didn’t look at it like this. Yes labor is hard, no one is denying that. Yes labor is tiring. And even more, labor can be scary buuut if you have this sense of calm and excitement towards it, it WILL make it more pleasant.
#outlookiseverything
So next time you see a very prego mama, don’t say “ugh I bet you’re SO ready” “you look ready to POP” “aren’t you miserable?” Share this with them instead. And for all you expecting mamas, may your labor this dreamy! ✨✨✨

baby girl is here...
Sorry it's been a little quiet around here, I've just been welcoming new life into the world and living the dream of mom of three! Our little perfect Poppy Camille was born May 30th 2018 and she's the absolute addition to our crazy crew. Thankfully she's insanely easy going, loves lots of noise and sleeps like a champ - all musts for our house!
Carey Maternity Session \\ Maternity Photography, Orange County CA
When Carey reached out for her maternity photos, I knew these were going to be unforgettable. This mama has THE best style and bringing her vision to life was going to be so fun!
