Why Golden Hour is Perfect for Maternity Photography in Newport Beach

March 12, 2025

Soft light, sandy shores, and timeless memories

Golden hour—the hour before sunset—offers the most warm, and ethereal light for outdoor photos. For maternity sessions, this magical glow enhances the natural beauty of creating soft, dreamy images that feel both intimate and timeless.

In Newport Beach, the combination of golden light, beautiful cliffs, and sandy shores makes for an unbeatable backdrop.

A Stunning Maternity Photographer in Newport Beach

Recently, I had the privilege of capturing a breathtaking golden hour maternity session with this couple, expecting their first baby at this Southern California beach. As the sun set, the sky transformed into pastel hues, adding even more magic to this maternity photo session.

The warm light reflected off the water and sand, creating a dreamy effect that highlighted the love and anticipation of welcoming a new life. These are the moments that make maternity photography in Newport Beach so special.
