Beach Maternity Photos with Kids: Calafia Beach Family Photos
Planning beach maternity photos with kids can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. This sweet Calafia Beach session in San Clemente is proof that you can include your toddler, embrace the chaos, and still walk away with photos that feel natural, connected, and SO full of love.
Why Include Kids in Your Maternity Session?
Including your child in your maternity photos is a beautiful way to celebrate your family as it grows. It honors the role they’re about to step into (as big brother or sister) while capturing your family in a season of transition.
This session felt like a true celebration of that: playful, warm, and deeply grounded in their connection.
Calafia Beach: A Perfect Spot for Beach Maternity Photos with Kids
Calafia Beach in San Clemente is ideal for Orange County maternity photos because of its soft sand, golden light, and peaceful vibe. The cliffs and rocks add natural texture, and there’s plenty of space for toddlers to explore without feeling too crowded.
It’s an ideal spot when you’re hoping for a relaxed, sun-soaked session. See the Taylor’s session story + more images here!
Tips to Make Your Beach Maternity Photos with Kids Stress-Free
Whether it’s your first baby or third, here’s how to keep your beach maternity photos relaxed and joyful:
- Embrace movement. Let your kids play, explore, and just be themselves.
- Choose golden hour. Soft evening light makes everything feel extra dreamy.
- Keep things simple. Flowy dresses, barefoot moments, and natural connection go a long way.
- Pick a photographer experienced with kids. I’ll guide you, but never over-pose — the best moments are always the real ones.
\Why These Beach Maternity Photos Matter
Beach maternity photos with kids aren’t just about capturing your bump. This is about capturing your story. A moment in time when your family is shifting, expanding, and preparing for something new.
This session felt like a love letter to their little boy and the baby on the way, and it was such an honor to photograph it.
