When considering your Manhattan Beach photoshoot, I can confidently say that maternity sessions by the pier are a great idea! There’s something magical about capturing a glowing mama-to-be in a flowing dress with an ocean backdrop. This particular session at the Manhattan Beach Pier was an absolute dream.

I always love photographing second (or third) time moms, when older siblings get to be part of the experience. There’s something so sweet about seeing the excitement in a soon-to-be big brother or sister’s eyes as they hug mama’s belly or run along the sand together. Life gets busier with each child, and maternity photos don’t always make the priority list. But I promise this season is so worth documenting. Those final weeks as a family of three before welcoming a new little one are incredibly special.

My goal with your Manhattan Beach photoshoot is to capture this moment in a way that feels natural, joyful, and relaxed. I want you to look back at these images and not only see how beautiful you looked but also feel the love, excitement, and connection you shared in that moment. I strive to document it all with authenticity and heart. These are fleeting days, but through timeless, heartfelt photography, you’ll have a way to hold onto them forever.
