Like Suess said, “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory”. With all the big changes happening in your life, you deserve to feel a downpour of love from friends and family.

1. Location

Perfect place to carry out family maternity photography can be your own backyard or rolling hills of California.

Finding the right venue will set the tone and rest everything will fall into place.
