San Diego Photographer
Capturing maternity, newborn, children’s, and family sessions since 2009.
San Diego Maternity, Newborn & Baby Milestone Photography
I photograph families from all across San Diego, and many make the drive to my Carlsbad studio specifically because they want a private, boutique experience rather than a quick session in a busy location. I have been doing this for over 17 years, and I specialise in maternity, newborn, milestone, cake smash, and family sessions. Every session is the only one I photograph that day.
Maternity
Photographer
San Diego
San Diego mums-to-be book maternity sessions with me because they want something that feels truly special. With over 150 gowns to choose from and professional hair and makeup included, you arrive, get pampered, and leave feeling incredible. I photograph maternity sessions between weeks 30 and 34, and the results are elegant, timeless images you will be proud to hang on your wall.
Newborn
Photographer
San Diego
For San Diego families, I recommend booking your newborn session during pregnancy so we can reserve your spot. Babies are best photographed between 5 and 21 days old, and my warm, calm studio is specifically designed for those early sessions. I work gently and patiently, letting your baby set the pace entirely.
Cake Smash Photographer
San Diego
San Diego families love my cake smash sessions because everything is taken care of. I provide a custom cake, a themed setup from over 250 backdrops, and a splash bath at the end. You just bring your one year old and a willingness to let them make a mess. The photos are always full of personality.
Milestone
Photographer
San Diego
Milestone sessions capture those in-between stages that go by so quickly. San Diego parents often book at six months, when babies are sitting up and full of expressions. The setups are simple and the focus is entirely on your baby. It is a lovely way to see how much they have changed since the newborn days.
Family
Photographer
San Diego
For San Diego families wanting studio portraits, my space offers something different to the typical beach shoot. It is private, temperature-controlled, and I have wardrobe options for everyone. Sessions are relaxed, kids get to be kids, and the photographs feel genuine rather than stiff.
Award Winning San Diego Photographer
I have built Lovely Baby Photography by word of mouth, and many of my San Diego clients found me through recommendations from friends or family. I am APNPI qualified, a PPA and PPSD member, and hold over 100 five-star Google reviews. From your initial consultation through to selecting your final prints, wall art, or albums, I handle every detail personally.

About San Diego, San Diego County
San Diego, located along the southwestern coast of California in San Diego County, is renowned for its rich local history and diverse cultural attractions. Settled by the Kumeyaay people long before European contact, San Diego became the site of California’s first Spanish mission and presidio in 1769, laying the groundwork for a vibrant city that embraces its multicultural heritage. The city enjoys a prime position adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, lending it incredible beaches like La Jolla Shores and Mission Beach, as well as proximity to natural preserves such as Torrey Pines State Reserve. San Diego’s historic landmarks include Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, the famed Cabrillo National Monument, and the opulent Hotel Del Coronado.
