Family, maternity & newborn photographer in Los Angeles and Ventura County
Natural, emotional photos for families who want this season remembered beautifully and honestly
I take a limited number of sessions each month so I can give every family a personal experience. Now booking Fall 2026.
I know how quickly these seasons of life pass. As a mom myself, I understand how much love, chaos, tenderness, and beauty live inside ordinary family moments. My sessions are designed to feel easy and natural, even if you’ve never been in front of the camera before.
WHERE DO I WORK?
I’m based in Ventura County, in Oak Park. I mainly work along the coast from Malibu to Ventura. But honestly, I’m always open to traveling wherever you need to capture your special moment.
I often drive for newborn sessions anywhere from Orange County to Santa Barbara.
Just send me a message and tell me where you’d love your session to take place — or let’s find a special spot just for you and go there together.
THE PROCESS
Here’s What You Can Expect Each Step of the Way:
Book Your Session
Choose your session type and fill out a short contact form so I can get to know you a little better! To secure your date, a 50% deposit is required. Can’t wait to create magic together!
Get Prepped
Once your deposit is paid, I’ll send you an outfit guide, a location guide, and a mood board. I’ll be here to help you every step of the way!
It's Go Time
On the day of your session, I’ll help you see that you don’t need to pose to get beautiful photos. We’ll capture natural, authentic moments that truly document this special time in your life.
90% of my clients either come to me for their very first photoshoot or haven’t had one in years—and they all leave happy, saying it was so much easier than they expected!
Ooh and Aah Over Your Images
Your images will be delivered via online digital gallery 10-15 days later. Print them out, put them on the fridge, or make a photo book to adorn your coffee table!

THANK YOU! I love these pictures so much! You captured our family perfectly. Literally have watery eyes looking at the pictures of my boys. Thank you!

Xenia was such a pleasure to work with and captured our family so authentically. The photos are beautiful. I love her editing and how rich the colors are. She made us all (even my camera-shy husband and toddler) so comfortable. I can't believe how many wonderful photos she got in a short 30-minute session. Highly recommend her for your family photo needs!
