As an Oakland Maternity Photographer, I have found many incredible locations over the years, but let me tell you a secret…the location doesn’t really matter. Let me explain. My style of maternity photography is more about the feeling and less about the location. You are the star of the show, and wether we are in the Oakland Redwoods, or an urban location downtown, your beauty will shine through. The journey of expecting a new life is full of anticipation and excitement. Maternity photography is a beautiful way to celebrate it. So, location doesn’t really matter when it comes to capturing radiant maternity portraits.

It’s All About You

The focus of maternity photography is all about you and your joy and your journey. As a result, the place we choose as your location is simply a backdrop to tell your story. I will always scout for places that will have the most amazing light first, however you are the true star of the show. What truly matters is your radiant smile, your tender caresses with your partner, and the love between you and for that new little being.

Sometimes choosing a spot you know and love can make you feel relaxed and at ease during the session, which results in more natural and joyful photos. This why an in-home maternity session can be a great option. You also might want to consider a location that holds sentimental value for you and your family. These settings add a layer of personal meaning to your images. If you have an idea for a the perfect place that holds meaning, let me know! But, I also have a variety of my favorite places in and around Oakland that are perfect for Maternity Sessions, like this one.

Versatility & Creative Adaptation

As your photographer, I find locations that can offer various backdrops and settings, from indoor coziness to outdoor beauty. Finally, as a creative photographer I make the most of any location to create stunning images and find beauty and inspiration in unexpected places. It’s not about the location; it’s about our collective vision and creativity.

Maternity photography is a celebration of your unique journey, and the location is just a canvas. It’s about relaxation, fun, and moments filled with boundless joy. As your Oakland Maternity Photographer I will capture the essence of your beautiful adventure, no matter where you are.
