San Gabriel Valley Newborn Photographer - Sarah's Outdoor LA Maternity Session

I love ALL my clients, I really really do. An investment with Lucy Liora Photography is a two way street. I spend so much time getting to know my clients as well as share about who I am as a photographer, business woman, and human being that by the time someone signs on the dotted line, a budding friendship has started to form. But every once in a blue moon, you meet a couple so special that you can't help but tell them their shoot was the best time you had on-location and honestly, I meant every word. 

Sarah, like so many clients, was a referral. As soon as she reached out I knew that I had to book her (didn't tell her at the time). She is expecting twins, you see, a boy and a girl and anyone who knows me knows that I love boy/girl twins since that's what my own brother and sister are. Sarah and Ryan are truly special. Shooting outdoors requires a lot of flexibility, something that doesn't come easy for some people especially when said person is deep into her third trimester carrying twins. But they were so flexible, silly, and fun. They were so fun that even after the sun had fully set below the horizon, I was still shooting.

I can't wait to meet your little ones so very soon. I've been planning for their shoot for months! Sarah and Ryan, thank you for choosing me. That afternoon at Tree People was honestly a blast for any photographer and I'm grateful that you picked me to capture this special moment. Your love for each other and your growing family is so evident, your laughter was contagious, and I've come to regard you as good friends already (you may not feel the same way back, it's okay...) 

XO,
Lucy

San Gabriel Valley Newborn Photographer - Maternity Holiday Session for A&A

Alex and Amelia are EXPECTING a baby boy! As of now, LLP does not book holiday sessions except for friends/family. And this session, I'm knocking out 2 birds with 1 stone and combining the holiday shoot with their maternity session. I met A&A before I even moved to Los Angeles. When Mike and I were still itty bitty babies dating-wise and one of our very first dates was a double with this lovely couple. How the years have moved us on in life and we couldn't be more happy for them.

Congrats friends and a very merry Christmas to you!

San Gabriel Valley Newborn Photographer - Taraneh's Outdoor LA Maternity Session

The beach maternity session is here! We totally got in trouble...Did you know that you're not allowed on the lifeguard thingy? I mean, everyone's always on it. I even once saw a woman literally stay there for hours reading...anyway, the second we got there, a beach security person came by and "yelled" at us. They then told us Max couldn't be on the beach when all around us, I see dogs (albeit smaller than Max).

Taraneh was so beautiful in a purple knit dress she took my breath away. I can't wait to see these 2 as parents, they certainly are ready. Love being able to capture these candid moments where Leo made her laugh, kissed her belly, and whispered sweet nothings to her and their new baby daughter. I loved today...thank you for allowing me to photograph this amazing celebration

xoxo, cant wait to meet your little princess!

San Gabriel Valley Newborn Photographer - Taraneh's Indoor LA Maternity Session

This beautiful mama is expecting her first baby. To properly celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to book 2 maternity sessions. One indoor session where the focus is on the drama and lighting and another one slightly later with dad and big brother Max (the most obedient german shepherd I ever did see) at the beach where the couple reside. For the second shoot we would go more dreamy and bright.

Mom came all by herself to the valley on a lazy and very hot Sunday afternoon. We decided to stay with monochrome palette to further enhance the drama in the images and boy was she beautiful. Mom was also a complete trooper because this shoot took place before the studio installed central air and boy was it hot that day... I'm so excited for you Taraneh, and so looking for our beach maternity session!
