Orange County Maternity Photographer

This adorable couple is expecting their first little one in very shortly. We had a such a great time at their maternity session in San Clemente at the beach. We had quite the adventure as well.  With all this rain lately, I stepped in what I thought was a shallow puddle to get the perfect shot and my shoe got stuck in the muck and I was covered in a thick mud…. but guess what, the shot was amazing so it was all worthwhile!

The beaches are always great after a rain storm.   The skies are usually nice and clear with a gorgeous sunset for some unique, and beautiful maternity beach images.

I’m looking forward to seeing these two again soon when we do their little ones newborn photos. I can’t wait to meet little girl!

They saw how it was being done…. and said, “we’re doing it differently.”

No roadmap.
No support.
No paycheck for years.
A pandemic 18 months in.
And babies in the middle of it all.  Because why not. 😏

And still… they built it.

An award-winning hospital.
A powerhouse team of women.
A business that actually cares - about pets and people.
 
Oh - and they didn’t stop there.
They’re now helping other women step into ownership too.

This is what it looks like when you stop waiting… and just go for it.

If that little voice in your head has been whispering “what if”… this is your sign.

Contact me if you’re building something bold - I want to feature you.

You finally stopped waiting for the “perfect time“.

The kids are growing.
The sunsets keep showing up.
In one day, this season will just be… a memory.

This is your reminder to be in the photos.
Not when you lose 10 pounds.
Not when life slows down.
Not “next year“.

Now.

which one are you in right now?
The quote “we need updated photos” stage
The “I’ve been meaning to call” stage
Or the “we’re overdue by 5 years” stage?
 
Tell me below.  I’m curious.

She Means Business: Dr. Maryam Sickinger

when confidence meets compassion, you get someone like Dr. Maryam Sickinger - founder of Advanced Institute of Dermatology here in San Clemente.

From helping patients feel beautiful in their own skin to leading a thriving practice while raising three amazing kids, she truly embodies balance, grace, and success. 

It’s been such an honor photographing Maryam in her family over the years - and capturing this next chapter of her story for my She Means Business series

because when women stepped in front of the camera, something powerful happens -- they see themselves the way the rest of the world already does.

Do you know a woman who deserves to be featured next? Tag her below or reach out to learn more about the She Means Business campaign.
